I believe in you completely!! I'm not doing a project pan in 2025, but I am doing a no-buy challenge, specifically for makeup and skincare. I just have so much stuff and want to use it up!! Happy holidays, Charlotte!

[notes_to_elle]

I'm tempted to try a game where I use an item once and then stick it in a drawer and don't use it again until I've used every other thing I own in that category at least once. I expect it might end up being a bit too masochistic but I might really learn something about my preferences and maybe even become a better declutterer. 😅

[lizzz]

i BELIEVE IN YOU! i love love project pans and declutters, not only does it align with me and my values (and my own hopes to consume less and use what i have), but i also love seeing the influencers / content creators that have iNFLUENCED me to buy certain products to actually USE them. it scratches the itch and also lets me know that i wasn't "tricked" and that the products are actually being used. x

[karenpetursdottir]

I love a good project pan. I wish more creators would do them. I do one for me every year. It's the best way to use up my makeup.

[KarinIsSharing]

Buying some new stuff this year has definitely helped me use up some old ancient things. Depotting or putting powder products into vintage compacts and rearranging single shadows, or switching up application methods with new brushes, have helped declutter and finish things even while buying new ones.
And I really mean turning a possibly two decade old drugstore orangey bronzer into a very pretty blonzer/blush in a Stratton pheasant vintage compact. Or realizing old non-funky lip glosses are great lip treatments before applying lipsticks I then experiment using different liners with (blue, purple, brown) as a base for beautiful new shades. 😂 It's been more colour theory and praxis as an olive than "panning" per se, but it's happening!

[mlpnorthsub]

WOWZER! This is going to be tough. LOVE the idea, but I'm currently enjoying 14 eyeshadow palettes and 7 single shadows. I don't use foundation ... and I have 54 lip products and 18 lip pencils that I'm using. I'm a lunatic, but having a blast!!! I'm going to make an I hate sunscreen on my face, but was gifted one that I really like. I'm going to try to "pan" that. I have an old eyeshadow palette that is one of my favorites ... I'll add that too. I am also working with A LOT of blushes, both powder, cream and liquid. I'll pick one of those to pan. Ok, so a sunscreen, blush and shadow palette. THANK YOU for the inspiration. I truly needed this!

[erynnm]

I normally project pan every year, but for 2025 I've decided that I'm going to rotate through items by randomly selecting numbers in my inventory with the goal to use things 3 times to decide if it's worth keeping or decluttering. I need to downsize my hoard. The sparkly things are getting too much. I've pulled out the Glam Face palette from ND to use too! I'm really excited to use it. It's perfect for summer (which it is here in Aus). If i happen to pan some things in 2025, great. But the goal is to no-buy and work through some older products that are sitting around, and to figure out what works for me, what doesn't, and get rid of the things that don't work or I don't like.

Good luck with your project pan! You've picked some great products!

[aicona]

I believe in you! I am in a Facebook Group which does different project pans all year round. So, I am doing different project pans in 2025 again. I did it this year, but there were too many projects, also I could finish quite a few products. Now I am doing just six different projects this year and two for just a few months. It is fun. Also, i will be on a no-buy til my vacation in April/May for makeup and skincare.

[lewistracy]

❤ I think you can do it ! I’m going to use up all my foundations before purchasing more . I have 5 . That is way too many . I might have to start wearing foundation to the gym 😂

[aprilrich]

You’ve reminded me of a strange childhood memory, Charlotte!! My mom of course used lipstick daily (60’s - 70’s); when she could no longer apply it from the bullet, she’d carry a retractable lip brush with the tube, and sort of dig the color out of the tube. It’s strange how the memory works. 🤷‍♀️

[kirstenolson]

I love watching project pan content. I am not on a specific project pan, but I am doing a kind of no-pan-left-behind project. Also, I heard somewhere about having levels for your eye shadow palettes, where level 1 is every shade used at least once with one color hitting pan. Level 2 is every color used twice and 2 colors hitting pan...and so forth. I would like to get all my eye shadow palettes to level 1.

[freckledklutz]

I have been panning for 5 years and honestly there is no right formula make it work for you! I believe you can do it and enjoy it since you picked items you love! I have picked 25 items I want to use up mostly makeup but a couple fragrance and a couple of skincare items too to give myself some easier ones. The goal is to continue to work through older items and in one case to finish up a face palette. I am not great at panning lipstick so instead I am going to just rotate through them and have fun with it no pressure.

[jennifermajor]

I had to respond…I put your movie on our “watch list”. Some aren’t my normal, but my husband and adult son would like to complain about Juror #2 and Speak No Evil. Son “Juror #2–wth”. Hubby “Speak Bo Evil—how many times did you jump? I jumped enough for both of us”. So hysterical!!! Love the series and pushing me outside my box…onto Longlegs😮❤

[lalacarroll]

I fully support and believe that the 12 products you choose to try and hit pan in or completely use up in 2025 is absolutely doable without putting so much pressure on yourself in years past. I’m not a content creator and it’s hard to hit pan or use a makeup product all the way through. You test out and try so much new makeup and skincare for us Charlotte and I’m so grateful. You have always helped me save money and purchase really great products throughout the years.
I’ve never done a “project pan” before but I want to join in. I want to hit pan in my Natasha Denona glam palette. I have major dents in almost every shade. I use it very frequently. I think I can do it. Also one of my Hourglass face and cheek palettes. I have so many I’ve purchased throughout the years. I use my Elephant palette the most often so I’m going to add that one to my new list. As well as my NARS light reflecting foundation! I will use it so often and then I stop for some reason even though I adore it.
So yes I’m going to join you this year and do a project pan for 2025!
I’m sure I will add a few more products to my list but those are my top 3.

Great video as always ❤

[thinkbig]

Love the idea and already pulled out three items. (Starting small) 😂 I have weight the products where there is no visible line. I have Lisa Eldridge‘s Skin tint, a Artdeco lip balm and a Westman Atelier stick.

[pixieburton]

Oh my gosh I get so excited when I pan something. I am like a little kid!!! This will be fun to watch!!

[lavayuki]

Ive been on project pan for most of 2024 and it continues to 2025. I find that I am quite successful with powders and foundations, colour correctors and concealers as I use them daily, plus eyeliner and mascara.
But its been impossible with lip products, blushes, highlights and bronzers which seem to not even hit pan after years lol

[justilou]

I haven’t had my I Need a Nude palette very long, and certainly don’t use it all the time, but I can see myself easily hitting pan on a lot of shades before the end of 2025. I’m not upset about it. I really enjoy the palette. Just surprised at how quickly I’m going through it. (Worth it.)

[aleigha]

I think you can do it! I’m not really doing a project pan but rather a ‘shop my stash’ for both makeup and skincare as I have backups and new products in both. Trying to consume less in 2025 and use what I have. Have a very happy and healthy New Year! 🥳🎊🎈

[AllyKit]

Like you say, it can take the joy out of makeup but it can also be rewarding for those who choose to do so. I have panned the same CT powder but already have three backups... Does that count? 😬?

Generally the products I do try to use up are my liquids, due to expiration. So the only thing I did "pan" in 2024 was the Lisa Eldridge skin tint, Huda concealer, a CT lippie and a Nars lip balm. I have definitely gotten better about keeping my FOMO in check on foundations and concealers and stick with what I know works! Yay me!
