In this post, we are going to be talking about color theory for formulators. We are going to be going over what is color with some science, general color theory, and then going into the applications. This will be a detailed post, so I recommend getting you're notebook out. I also highly recommend printing out a color wheel to reference. There will also be a word document at the end to print out.

This is the last post in my DIY Cosmetics for Beginners series! I can't believe that it is ending!?!? It feels like I started it yesterday. Anyway, in this post we are going to be talking about water-based cosmetics. Most of this post is going to be a review from previous posts. This was meant to happen, as I wanted to give the beginners the skills and knowledge to follow along with the recipes that I create. I am going to include how do all the math for conversions and scaling up and down. Don't worry all you will need is a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. You may need to erase, as mistake do happen. So, time for review!
