    Hi Emily! New subscriber here. I am so glad I found your channel. Your Deck of Panning will be my first project. I saw your post about being excited to do this project so I had to come check it out. I think I might give this a go because I really want to get as much use as I can out of my collection this year. I am curious, how often do you roll out items during this project and what is the best way to decide usage over hitting pan? I am having a hard time finding the official rules for this project lol 😅 #newprojectpanner thank you!

    • @emilynmax
      @emilynmax 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi! So happy to have you here 💓 the original creator wanted to completely finish anything rolled in. For me, I like to take into consideration what else I'm working on, if something is getting a bit older pan or finish works best, if it's newer a usage goal. I know I hate panning nail polish, so 3 uses is a good goal for me personally. I tend to just go with my gut. Can I finish this if I focus? Will I hate trying to finish this? Maybe 10-20 uses is a good place to start. Hope that helps 😊

    I wear queen of blades to the office as a deepening up shade. Nobody in my office cares. A lot of people dont wear any eyeshadow and enjoy the colour eyeshadow I wear.

    Queen of Blades makes a BEAUTIFUL eyeliner that is totally work appropriate in my opinion. I pair it with neutrals and chef kiss!

  • @hudy983

  • @freckledklutz
    @freckledklutz 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Yay for more pans! And queen of blades is stunning but maybe a little spicy for the office. I would use pearl as a base to knock out the uses as that one is the easiest and then make the shimmery copper shade a one and done with the dark brown crease. I think others are right queen of blades could be a good liner for many a neutral look or you could really have fun with it when you aren't in the office.

    1:39 to me that’s not really panning. That’s digging a hole.

    • @emilynmax
      @emilynmax 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @paillette2010 that's fine. I'm personally happy with my usage on that shade.

    • @paillette2010
      @paillette2010 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ yeah, this is why I don’t really like panning videos. It’s not very genuine. But different strokes.

    • @Kizzy2021
      @Kizzy2021 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ⁠@@paillette2010it depends on how the shade is used. If it’s a shade I use as liner or an inner corner, any pan is going to look like that since I naturally use it with a small brush in the same area each time. If it’s a lid setting shade or a crease shade that I use a fluffy brush with, it’ll look a lot different. To me no pan is “cheating” because it takes a ton of uses to even tunnel down with a small brush, but that’s what my natural usage would look like on a shade like that anyways

    • @delightfulillusions
      @delightfulillusions 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Eyeshadows can be used as liners and eyebrow powder as well. There's no rule that says they could only be used as shadows. I respect your opinion but it seems a little nitpicking and it dampens the mood. 😅 I'm happy for Emily she hit her goal. I know it's hard to hit pan dark matte shadows.

    • @delightfulillusions
      @delightfulillusions 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@Kizzy2021True! It's still hard to hit pan shadows that are used as eyeliners especially dark mattes. I'm happy for everyone who manages to hit the pan.
