When mixing the components, follow the steps in the manual exactly to achieve the best consistency. After use, wash the mini beaker and spatula with warm water and mild soap to prevent residue build-up. Store all remaining powder colorants and base cream in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lids are tightly secured to prevent the cream from drying out.
