I Stopped Buying Makeup | Project Pan 6 Month Update

Trying To Be Minimalist

23,321 views

Welcome back to Trying to Be Minimalist 💛

For the last 6 months, I haven’t bought a single new makeup product and honestly, I haven’t missed it! Today, I’m sharing a full Project Pan update: what I’ve used up, what I’ve learned, and how minimalism has simplified my routine.

This is realistic minimalism - using up what you already have and creating a simple, intentional collection of products you actually use.

🌿 Why Project Pan Works for Me:

• Avoids unnecessary purchases
• Simplifies my morning routine
• Reduces decision fatigue
• Helps me use up products I’d otherwise forget
• Supports a more sustainable and intentional lifestyle

Your makeup collection looks so chic and curated <3 Regarding the backups... great rule to only ever have 1 backup, but remember how long some products take to use up! In the past I've got 'backups' for a product that I'm still using 2 years later while the backup slowly expires in my drawer :c

Your video has this calmness I appreciate! Your collection has a purpose and comes across with meaning, I like that!

Great progress! If you want you can crush powders up to repress them with alcohol for example to get every last bit out. It could be helpfull to get the last bits off that pressed powder out of that pallette. Or crushing it up and using it as a loose powder or dry pressing it can also work for if you will use the amount up quickly without travelling with the make up palette. Or use the shade as an eyeshadow like you use the bronzer in that palette

Lovely collection! Have you thought about using those lipsticks in the No. 7 case as cream blush once the Clinique Chubby stick runs out? Then maybe you can use the powder blusher in the same No 7 container on top?

I just thought of those electric face scrub brushes from the 2010's.
You never see those anymore and I think that's a good reference point for trendy products.
For a life changing product I haven't seen one in maybe 10 years or more.

I did the same decluttering my make up and keeping what I actually use and suits my skin tone.

New subscriber here 😊 your video drew my attention as I am in a journey to minimize my makeup. I am working of a few project pans, I just decluttered my entire makeup collection and I am in a low buy / no buy (if you are interested in watching my content). I am trying to make friends here on YouTube that encourage minimalism and I felt like your content was perfect 😊

Cuando entro a ver videos sobre colecciones de maquillaje minimalistas, me pongo a ver y me doy cuenta que mi "colección" no es minimalista, es austerísima a comparación.

It's my first time watching your channel and i already love it🩷 I'm just 17 and recently started doing my makeup. Your video is so inspiring:) I also want to be more mindful about my purchases and avoid wasting products. I hope I'll see more of your videos in the future 🤍
