Final testing confirmed ergonomic effectiveness, enhancing application. Manufacturing responsibly sources bamboo, adhering to eco-friendly practices. Packaging inspired by 1970s beauty tutorials features whimsical elements, celebrating bold styles. Overall, the set blends sustainability, functionality, and playful design, offering beginners a responsible choice. This project advances eco-friendly innovation in beauty, promoting conscious consumerism for a better planet.
