@@ChicGeekMakeup my makeup collection is so big that inspires to play with my makeup all the time, and same goes for my perfumes. I even wear them at home just to enjoy them. I don't wait for a special occasions. I wear a pretty dress every Friday or on the weekends. I guess I am just a girly girl. 🥰
I agree! My depotting phase was a blessing in disguise because it turned into a declutter of all those palettes because I lost all motivation for the shadows without the packaging. The packaging is part of the experience you are paying for with makeup.. at least for me. I know have a small collection of about 7 palettes all with beautiful presentation and packaging . Very happy when I see my makeup nowadays. Great video.
I'm the opposite from you when it comes to depotting eyeshadows. I use my depotted singles the most. When I leave them in a palette, I rarely use them. I make a curated palette then use them. I make one whenever I see a new palette launch that I love the colorstory of. One of my favorite ways of getting use out of my eyeshadow singles.
I think when starting it is hard to not overbuy because you just don’t know what works and what your preferences are (I did this when I started interest in makeup about 2 years ago and now have way way too much from having none). I like your thought that practice and technique are the most important. I have been wearing makeup throughout this quarantine situation even though usually just my kids and husband see me. It has helped me feel put together and use things that give me some enjoyment. I just found you now and haven’t project panned before. I will watch more to figure that out.
I’m a new project panner, and one lesson i learned from my own mistake is that do not get too ambitious and set a big project with lots of full sized makeup products if you are a beginner. I’m having a project A-Z but so far only finished 4 to 5...
-I learned that I don't need dark lip colors, I used to use them back before I started using eyeshadows now they are too much with my intense eye looks. -I use foundation twice a year max so I only spot conceal with concealer no more foundations for me. -All highlighters look the same on my face so I don't need to own my 13 highlighters😭 I just need like 5-7 with different finishes, colors, and formulas. -No more blush purchases for me. I prefer my lipsticks and eyeshadows as blush far more. -NO HATE PAN. This was a nightmare tbh.. -Mixing palettes is the bomb! You do not need to buy a certain palette for a certain colour story, you probably own it scattered between your palettes.
I agree with you 100% about depotting eyeshadow. I tried it with several palettes and never touched them after that. The way they look ( especially with different sizes of pans) is too random and disorganized. My brain hates it.
The advice about not saving products "for special occasions" really resonated with me. Now I pull those things out and get my money's worth. Thank you!!
You brought up so many great points. I really agree with you that buying the exact products you see in a tutorial won’t help you achieve the that exact look. You have to practice. Great video!
I love chatty videos like this about panning! In 2019 I was stupid enough to pan an expired foundation that broke me out. My skin was horrible during that time, I had small pimples all over. It was a high end foundation I had indeed saved for special occasion :D
Love this video! I learn that I don't like big palettes, cold tones, glitters, matte lipsticks matte bases. I am doing the rulette pan and I love it! I use products that I forgot that I have.
I have a few in common with you, like finding my lipstick preferences and knowing that I don't need variety with base products. I'm an avid depotter though. Part of breaking my buying cycle has been removing my attachments to brands and packaging and I love creating my own colour schemes. Another thing I've learned is when to say 'enough' when a project or product isn't working. That's a skill I hope to use through life, not just for makeup.
Completely agree with you on the lipsticks thing. I have around 50 - 70 lipsticks and I really only need like 10 (this includes the black and teal and dark purple that I rarely wear). I have been project panning for some time as well and have a lot of similar opinions to yours. It really shows you just how long it takes to get through these hundreds of dollars worth of products that we buy and can't get through because we continue to buy more because so much new stuff comes out. Great video. Very inspiring.
100% agree on the lipstick... new releases does not entice me anymore. I will just look for dupes from my stash and combine colors to get my desired shade. all the colors are the same, you are so right on we tend to gravitate to the same shade and try to justify the purchase later.
It sounds like we are very similar in our preferences! I don’t collect base products (other than blush...that doesn’t count😁) and I love panning gloss!
Great video, this is my first year panning and I’ve learned so much!!! I’ve learned that I should not depot and I don’t like single shadows. I’m very attracted to face palettes and enjoy them a lot. I’ve also learned that stuff takes for ever to finish 😂
I agree with the base info. I like having a bb cream, light to med, and one more full coverage foundation. That’s it! And lipstick- yes! It’s hard for me to find a perfect color- so when I find something That looks and feels great, I’m sticking with it. I just need like 4 shades.
Much like you I was doing panning projects well before I ever thought of putting in on social media. I have so much that is just sitting around while I work on project items. Next year I think I'm going to do more usage or goal oriented projects. YES! Hate panning is just no good for anyone, but like you, I try to make it work in conjunction with other products if I can. Love all of your lessons!!
I have a real issue with not finishing things. Or saving things because I value them so I was them less as they sit on the shelf and waste away. I gotta get to the bottom of that psychologically. This is such a great video idea. really enjoyed it!
Wow I really appreciate your panning wisdom 💜 not saving for special occasions is what I struggle with, I usually think my work is lame but that’s almost the only place I go😖
Things I've learned from trying to use up my makeup: 1) If I don't like an item, putting it in a project is more likely to have me avoiding doing my makeup than using up the item 2) Depotting is amazing for me! I do a lot of theater, and I love being able to put just the things I need for whatever characters I'm creating and not have to cart around so much makeup. And sometimes rearranging my eye shadows into pretty color stories is fun! 3) Blushes never die. I never need more than just a couple blushes, and that only if I am persnickety about undertones matching. 4) Keeping a lipstick because I love the color is not helpful if I hate the formula. 5) I may not like a product for it's intended purpose, but it may be a favorite to use for another purpose. Ex. Several lipsticks I hate on my lips, but love as cream blush. 6) What looks good on camera is hard to feel comfortable in outside of the house. Especially bright or really shiny or sparkly eyeshadow! 7) Mascara does not need to be fully used up. Replace often so as to avoid eye infections! And only open 1 or 2 at a time, or you are wasting it! 8) If I am looking for something new, perhaps try something I already have to give the same effect. I was looking for a lavender blush, used a pinky lavender eyeshadow to see if I liked the look. Looked for an orange blush, had a very warm toned nude lipstick on my cheeks to see if I liked it (really looked terrible on my olive skin!). I thought I wanted a black lipstick, tried it out with a black eyeliner, loved it, and bought a black lipstick. 9) I hate any foundation that has fuller coverage than medium. I have fair olive skin, and so finding the perfect shade and undertone is impossible, therefore my base needs to be sheer enough to be blendable. 10) Tastes change, and makeup takes a long time to use up. It is better to only buy one of a thing and then buy something else when my taste inevitably changes once I have finished the previous item. 11) Seriously, though, I don't need any more blush. For the next ten years, most likely.
I am still working on the joy of one in each of these categories: primer, eye primer, foundation, concealer, powder, mascara and setting spray. Brushes are very important, and caring for brushes is just as important. I also realize that I need one contour, one bronzer and one reasonably useful highlighter. As far as highlighter, I do not need one that will be so brilliant that alien spaceships or airplanes will use it to land in my driveway.
Yes! I noticed I only need one in each category for my lifestyle the only exception is lip color (I need 4 lipsticks: a nude, pinky, peachy and red) and for blush I need 1 palette (I have NARS Exposed one). I currently am doing a project pan on a Tarte blush palette and too many nude lipsticks and 2 bronzers and once I’m done with those I will reach my goal of 1.
Great list! I’ve only been project panning for a little more than 1 year, and I’ve learned a lot, but there’s still more I’m trying to figure out 😁 I don’t “hate Pan” either, but I do mix products and find alternative uses for products I don’t like to use as they are marketed. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting. Thank you for your insights. I'm investigating panning now because I have about 50 lipsticks. I love lipstick, but it's too much and I'm realizing I'm never going to use all of it if I keep buying more of them. Tossing some of them seems wasteful though. I decluttered most of my other products though. I'm down to a few small eyeshadow and blush palettes and a handful of singles.
Hmm I never though of using different brushes on products to make them apply better.I am trying to do a no buy and its hard.One of the things I am no longer buy is eyeliner I use the many black eyeshadows as liners and the bad concelers as eye primer and face powder to set it.
I'm really new to watching project pan videos, and I've never done one myself.( although it looks fun) But I've already learned something! I like all the pretty colors and cool new stuff...so I buy minis if I can get them! They're easier to get through than a full sized product, and if it turns out to be a real staple in my routine, I can then buy the full sized product knowing I'm not wasting my money or my time. although spoiler some of the minis seem to have almost as much product as anyone could need in the time it would take to use it up. Would anyone really sign up to buy a quarter cup of bronzer if it was advertised that way??
I started project panning just this year. I'm Brazilian and this is not a thing in my country. I don't depot my eyeshadows either, I think it is ok to have single shadows. Loved the video!
That's a great list, Beautiful! My 1 project I am doing, & my shop my stash have really been helping me to use up my products & rotate through stuff. Stay safe! TFS! ~ Nona
I also thought depotting was going to change my mind and make me buy less palettes. It didn’t work. It’s an action I regret now - like you, I just used them even less and it didn’t quell my love of palettes or eyeshadow
New things to learn.✅ Strange. The few things I've depotted mostly get used more now. I actually took a favourite quad and glued them onto the mirror of a blush I loved. I used the heck out of them too, lol. Thanks for the tips and different viewpoint. Be well and happy. ♡
I started watching TH-cam in Oct 2017 & I remember buying the exact products reconnected not realizing it wasn’t right for my skin! 😳 Since then I have decluttered many products and really honed in on what I like & works for me. An expensive lesson but definitely well learned 😉 Enjoyed the video! 😊❤️💄
I totally agree with depoting point bcx I really like my eyeshadow pallets with packaging and I love eyeshadows in their colour story not outside of that so I never use them when I depot them.
🎀When I was doing a strict project pan I learnt...🎀 🎀You can create a matte or unusual eyeliner with a good quality eyeliner brush, dipped in some eyeshadow.🎀 🎀Adding water or setting spray to your brush can change the texture of an item. (Old advice but a good one.)🎀 🎀You can layer eyeshadows on top of each other or mix them together, to create a new shade.🎀 🎀I started watching make-up documentaries to learn about how ethical the companies I was spending money with were. Especially as I’m doing a replacement, for old and disliked make up products.🎀 🎀 I started watching different TH-camrs and Instagramers wearing make-up I liked. So I could recreate the looks with what I had.🎀 🎀Started looking at Inde brands. As I noticed many make-up brands aren’t unique with what they release. Sometimes I would buy the same eyeshadow shades repeatedly. (I have at least nearly used 10 nude eyeshadow palette’s.) 🎀Bright coloured eyeshadow can make a nude look refreshed and different.🎀 🎀I love unusual and blinding highlighters. 🎀 🎀I also discovered I’m cool toned so a lot of the make-up I have, won’t suit me unless I have warm toned foundation e.t.c. So I have quite a lot to pan.🎀 Edited to add:- 🎀I learnt that I need a heavy concealer as dark circles are hierarchy in my family.🎀 🎀Many make up brands will buy their shadows from the same coming. That makes a huge difference to paying £50 for a palette when there is one for under £20 with the same colours and quality.🎀
I found the same thing where I’d shop my stash choosing too many items and not being able to make any progress in my panning projects but it’s hard for me to limit picking SMS items cause I want to use my new stuff too! My thing is I buy too much makeup period but I love it what a dilemma lol! What do you mean when you say doing a lot more usage in your projects? Counting how many times you use them?
It’s interesting how uniquely different we all are regarding our makeup preferences. Me, I gravitate towards eyeshadows and lipsticks, do not need more than two foundations one bronzer and zero highlighters. Lol (but don’t get me started on my colored eyeliners, lol!)
Depotting doesn't work for me either. Lipstick is fairly easy for me depending on the formula. I learned this this year. 😂 I'm the same with creams. I just don't enjoy them compared to powder. I know next year I'm going to focus on a bunch of different items and not do a full face. I agree I neglected a lot of stuff this year. Number use goals for next year is something I'm going to try.
Hi! great video! it's interesting to see the number of products that have/love/use. I have 4 lipsticks; and feel like i have too many!! I am trying a project pan for eyeshadows; so we will see:)
I did the same with depotting a bunch of shadows. I ended up giving the palettes I made out of them away because I didn’t enjoy it the same anymore either. I am now super into base products though. I ended up developing an allergy or allergies to some type of ingredient(s) in eye products so now I am into base products and I wasn’t before. I have always been into blush and highlighter, but now even more to compensate for my minimal eye makeup :) But those categories very big now lol. Trying to get it under control!
It's easier for me to finish a lipstick than most hair products. When it's this long, which is more than 2 times it's normal length, I wash it every 7-10 days and I rarely, rarely heat style it. I think it's so funny the different preferences and styles we have and how they evolve when we learn from each other.
Omg you got the new Hourglass sculpture palette!? I ordered the new blush shade At Night on Mercari for $25 How do you like the new Catrice BB cream? I always love when Catrice and Essence come out with new products!
I learned that it takes a life and a half to finish up a blush.
Too true! Been working on my Milani baked blush for close to 4 years now 😳
So true and frustrating😂😭
It’s true! It takes years to even make a dent in any blush.
buy a less pigmented blush so you have to swirl more and hit pan. I like the lighter shades from the Clinique Cheek pops
Bruh for real
I used to save my high end foundations for “special occasions” that never came and my products ended up expiring!
Yes for sure me too, I’m glad I stopped doing that!
This is such a common problem! So much fantastic products sit for those special times. Guilty as well!
Everyday is a special occasion to wear our makeup... loved that mindset 🥰💖🥂
For sure!😃
I don't save ANYTHING for a special occasion. I use and wear whatever I want any day of the week. 🥰😍.
That’s a great way to think!😃

I feel I don't get to use my palettes the same as if I keep them in their original palettes. You are right that's part of the experience. Big part.
Please: depotting not deporting 😆😆 (but maybe deporting has a different meaning in English...?😅 a Not so sensitive one?)

What is a project a-z
-I learned that I don't need dark lip colors, I used to use them back before I started using eyeshadows now they are too much with my intense eye looks.
-I use foundation twice a year max so I only spot conceal with concealer no more foundations for me.
-All highlighters look the same on my face so I don't need to own my 13 highlighters😭 I just need like 5-7 with different finishes, colors, and formulas.
-No more blush purchases for me. I prefer my lipsticks and eyeshadows as blush far more.
-NO HATE PAN. This was a nightmare tbh..
-Mixing palettes is the bomb! You do not need to buy a certain palette for a certain colour story, you probably own it scattered between your palettes.
Also no liquid eyeshadows for me. I never use them no matter how pretty they look..
Me too!!
I agree with you 100% about depotting eyeshadow. I tried it with several palettes and never touched them after that. The way they look ( especially with different sizes of pans) is too random and disorganized. My brain hates it.
Yes me too!!
I guess this is exactly the problem with depotting👏🏼

Love this video! I learn that I don't like big palettes, cold tones, glitters, matte lipsticks matte bases. I am doing the rulette pan and I love it! I use products that I forgot that I have.
Thank you! I agree about big palettes!!
I have a few in common with you, like finding my lipstick preferences and knowing that I don't need variety with base products. I'm an avid depotter though.

That totally makes sense!!😃
Lipstick takes me 400 years to use up.. And it's been especially hard recently since I don't use it when I'm wearing a face mask
Yes I agree!!

Lipstick harder to use during covid too

🎀Many make up brands will buy their shadows from the same coming. That makes a huge difference to paying £50 for a palette when there is one for under £20 with the same colours and quality.🎀
I agree and can relate to the depotting aspect. Same for me
I’m glad I’m not the only one!😃
I can relate to so many of yours. I really enjoyed this💚
Thank you!😃
Thank you for creating this video. You explained many good and important points about using what you got and how to finish it.
Thank you!😃
I found the same thing where I’d shop my stash choosing too many items and not being able to make any progress in my panning projects but it’s hard for me to limit picking SMS items cause I want to use my new stuff too! My thing is I buy too much makeup period but I love it what a dilemma lol! What do you mean when you say doing a lot more usage in your projects? Counting how many times you use them?
It can be hard to balance for sure! Yes I keep count, here is one of those projects in you are interested 😃 th-cam.com/video/_DlFm-arq0k/w-d-xo.html
I can relate to number 1 so much. I only depotted two eyeshadow palettes and I ended up not using most of them 😅
Yeah it’s unfortunate! At least now we know!
It’s interesting how uniquely different we all are regarding our makeup preferences. Me, I gravitate towards eyeshadows and lipsticks, do not need more than two foundations one bronzer and zero highlighters. Lol (but don’t get me started on my colored eyeliners, lol!)
yes I agree I think that is why makeup is so fun! :)
Depotting doesn't work for me either. Lipstick is fairly easy for me depending on the formula. I learned this this year. 😂 I'm the same with creams. I just don't enjoy them compared to powder. I know next year I'm going to focus on a bunch of different items and not do a full face. I agree I neglected a lot of stuff this year. Number use goals for next year is something I'm going to try.
Yeah I hate neglecting other items!!
I cant seem to do longer term project pans. Short term ones are best for me. Also i use my depotted makeup much more 😁
Hi! great video! it's interesting to see the number of products that have/love/use. I have 4 lipsticks; and feel like i have too many!! I am trying a project pan for eyeshadows; so we will see:)
Thank you! Good luck to you!😃
I did the same with depotting a bunch of shadows. I ended up giving the palettes I made out of them away because I didn’t enjoy it the same anymore either.
I am now super into base products though. I ended up developing an allergy or allergies to some type of ingredient(s) in eye products so now I am into base products and I wasn’t before. I have always been into blush and highlighter, but now even more to compensate for my minimal eye makeup :) But those categories very big now lol. Trying to get it under control!
It's easier for me to finish a lipstick than most hair products. When it's this long, which is more than 2 times it's normal length, I wash it every 7-10 days and I rarely, rarely heat style it. I think it's so funny the different preferences and styles we have and how they evolve when we learn from each other.
that's amazing! I wish I could pan lipstick quickly!
Girl when you said 30 lipsticks my mouth fell open. 😂 I only have two lipsticks (red and nude) that I love and use
How long did it take you to use up?
Same for me with de-potting. Never again.
Yeah it was a big regret for me sadly!
Super informative! Thank you
Oh yay I’m happy to hear that!😃
Oo dat eye look. Ty for the tips.
Aghhhh I hate youtube algorithm....why did it take me this long to find you? Subscribed I Fricken l♥️ved this video
Thank you so much!!
Good video idea!
Thank you!
Love listening to you talk wish your videos were longer
I’m 30 seconds in to the video and you are so beautiful wow
Thank you!
Great advices!
Thank you!😃
I don’t depot anything anymore for the same reasons.
I've considered depotting some palettes, but I'm so afraid that I will just totally forget them.
That’s what happened to me 🤣🤣
I LOVE MY DEPOTTED EYESHADOW. I USE THEM MORE. I DEPOTTED Blush AND BRONZER AND PUT THEM IN 1 PALLET. IT'S TIME SAVING.
Omg you got the new Hourglass sculpture palette!? I ordered the new blush shade At Night on Mercari for $25 How do you like the new Catrice BB cream? I always love when Catrice and Essence come out with new products!
That’s exciting! I think the Catrice BB cream is only ok it was a little patchy on me, I posted a review on my Instagram 😃
Rotate! Ten uses project pan.
Yes I am doing that project!😃
That is the one project that I see that can help people get use of everything. Way to go
