When your making your spray bronzer, ask yourself, 'do I like the chemistry of blending pigment with another ingredient to make a new product?'

If the answer is 'yes', you can try STEP 3.
STEP 3
Step 3 is Nail Polish Pro, here, you'll be manufacturing nail polish colors from a pre-made base you purchase.
In the Nail Polish Pro Masterclass, you get to work with more pigments.
Since you'll be using a pre-made base that you purchase online from a US distributor, you can just focus on pigments & other production processes required for manufacturing makeup.
Just an FYI, the fumes associated with manufacturing nail polish requires adequate/abundant amounts of fresh air ventilation.
