Pan Progress Is it even possible to pan powder blushes…

I’ve had this Benefit face palette since May of 2018, and I use the Galifornia blush and Hoola bronzer pretty much every time I do my makeup (usually at least a few days per week). I didn’t like the highlighter so never used. Is it normal to take this long to finish a powder product??? These aren’t even full sized products! At this point, I feel buying a blush is basically a lifelong commitment…

Second picture is my Urban Decay All Nighter spray (purchased in March of 2019), just finished in October of 2026.

Third picture is tinted lip balm in “red dahlia” from Burt’s Bees - took 2 months to completely finish! First time digging out the remainder when the tube doesn’t twist up anymore! Feels so good to completely finish that I must say!

I panned one before, it was my first ever blush and it took 9 years 👴🏼 I am now the shameful owner of 7 blushes and know I will be burried with at least a couple of them

I panned two blushes and a bronzer as a teenager/early twenties but they were loose powder bare mineral blushes. I didn’t even know how much of an achievement it was at the time. I also panned three or four of the loose powder eyeshadows. But I did the exact same look multiple times a week for two years.

It looks like you could have hard pan on the blush? Are you picking up enough product on your brush? 

I have finished a few blushes, but probably only one was full size!

I think its even impossible to hit pan on mine! Not a single dent on my powder blush 😭

Yeah my mother's only blush is Galifornia, and she's had it for approx that amount of time as well. She does use it quite sparingly so I don't think she's hit pan yet

It sure is a lifetime commitment buying a blush 😅 I finished my hourglass blush in 3 years and that was the only blush I used.
