A brief history of project pan

Project pan has been around for quite a while now and, every year more and more people decide to try this sort of “experiment”. In a nutshell, a project pan consists of setting the goal to finish a certain number of beauty products within a specific timeframe. Despite doing some research, I was not able to find who actually invented this method. If you know more, please feel free to let me know in the comments below 🙂

Even though it started as a small movement, over the years project panning has gained popularity. We can find plenty of videos or blog posts of people who are following this method and pretty successfully I would add. Usually project pan goes hand in hand with a “no-buy” approach, even though the two things are not “officially” related. As we don’t have any official “guidelines”, we can create our own rules and set our own project pan goals.

How to set your project pan goals

Let’s go back to my definition: a project pan consists of setting the goal to finish a certain number of beauty products within a specific timeframe. And that’s it! The first thing you need to do is to decide:

  1. how many beauty products you want to finish
  2. how much time you will give yourself to finish them

But now, you might be wondering, and rightfully!, how do I decide on these two numbers?

  1. Remember to be realistic. Your goals need to be feasible and be compatible with your lifestyle and personality. If you hate the color green, and you want to commit to finish that forest green eyeshadow that has been lying around for ages, you might set yourself for failure. Choose a wide variety of different products that you are likely to use, and throw in some that can represent instead a challenge.
  2. Keep a realistic timeframe too. If you are a newbie, I would recommend that you plan a longer timeframe, for example six months to one year. I will not lie and say that it can get pretty discouraging at times. That is why a long period of time is highly recommended.

Here you are a few ideas on how to set your project pan goals:

20 in 2020

A very popular approach is to pan x number of products according to the year we are in. However, if you have been doing project planning for some time, you might have already done it in the past.

Rolling Project Pan

You start by choosing an initial group of products and when you finish one, you replace it with another one. In so doing, the project pan continues forever!

Project (X Number) Pan

This is a very easy one where you decide on a number that you want to reach. Some people take this challenge to the next level and do a Project 100 Pans!

Project Pan Roulette

Split your makeup collection in categories. You can do generic ones like eyeshadow palettes or lipsticks or specific ones like neutral palettes, red lipsticks etc. Then, you assign a number to each product and you let the fate or better a random software program decide what products to pan. You can also put the products in a bag and simply pick them 🙂

Themed Project Pan

Decide on a theme and choose products in your collection that are related to that specific theme. E.g.: color themes, season themes, movie themes…Here the imagination can truly run wild!
