This week, Degree Deodorant made headlines for announcing the launch of a Degree Inclusive, a deodorant designed for people who are visually impaired and have limited movement in their upper limbs. Here’s an inside look at five inclusive beauty products that are accessible and easy to use for disabled people.

The Flex Collection

Flex Collection, Kohl Kreatives

Founded by Trisha Daswaney in 2017, Kohl Kreatives is an inclusive beauty brand that is famous for its line of stylish disabled-friendly makeup tools for disabled people, especially for those with disabilities, in the upper limbs. Their signature Flex Collection is made up of five free-standing brushes with handles that are easy to grip. The heads are fully bendable which allows for precision and comfort.

In 2017 Daswaney founded Kohl Kreatives to ensure anyone with a disability could experience the beauty industry.
She wanted to create a range of inclusive beauty products for disabled people that are accessible for non-disabled people as well.

The Flex Collection is a set of five brushes, all of them with a white base with the words Kohl Kreatives. The brushes are black in colour and come with large and small triangles, a large square, small circle, and diamond brushes. There is an audio guide at the site that gives you more details.

Makeup artists turn innovators

Lash Wrap

Lash Wrap, Guide Beauty

Guide Beauty was launched by makeup artist Terri Bryant in early 2020. Bryant feared that her career was over after she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. This inspired her to create inclusive beauty products that would meet the needs for everyone. She wanted to design beauty products for disabled people so they could enjoy doing their own makeup with a range that is well designed and accessible to use.

There are four accessible beauty products for disabled people in the Guide Beauty range – mascara, eyebrow gel, potted gel eyeliner and eyeliner tool. They are designed such that they are easy to apply. Some of them come with a hand grip applicator. The grip applicators can be used as a finger rest to hold shaky fingers steady.

NH-Spotlight

Lash Wrap is a smudge proof mascara with a ring that keeps the hand steady during application. Place the ring between your index and middle fingers to steady the applicator.

The Vamp Stamp

The Vamp Stamp

When celebrity makeup artist and co-founder of the iconic beauty brand thebeautyblender Veronica Lopez was operated for a benign spinal tumour, she was left with very little feeling on her hands. She was unable to continue with her career. Applying her favourite winged eyeliner became impossible as well.

Lopez refused to give up her on signature look and launched The Vamp Stamp, a range of inclusive and accessible beauty products for disabled people. The stand out product in this accessible range is the VaVaVoom winged liner stamp which makes it easier for everyone, with and without disability to achieve that much sought after cat eyed look.  Lopez aims to launch beauty products and formulas that are inclusive so that people with all kinds of physical disabilities find the magic of makeup accessible.

NH-Spotlight

The VaVaVoom Stamp comes in three sizes – kitten, medium and large and is in a colour combination of purple and black. To use, a person can dip the stamp into the eyeliner ink and apply to the corner of the eye for a guided placement. The wing can then be connected with the liner across the lid.

Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation

Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation, Rare Beauty

Launched by American singer, actress and producer Selena Gomez, the Rare Beauty inclusive makeup range has a whole lot of beauty products for disabled people including complexion, eye, brow and lip products. Gomez is open about living with lupus, a chronic autoimmune condition, making her a symbol of inspiration for disabled people. She is also a strong advocate of mental health.

The accessible beauty products in the Rare Beauty range are also budget-friendly. There are accessible makeup tools too that are designed to mirror the shape of your finger. The rounded tops of the product bottles make the application of makeup easier for those with limited upper limb mobility.

NH-Spotlight

The Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation is a beauty product that has come in for much praise for the packaging from disabled people. It has a ball on the top that has been praised especially by people with arthritis. It is available in 48 shades and has a mess-free doe-foot applicator that lets you apply one dot at a time.

Available at Rare Beauty.com

Even one small mascara can trigger a larger change and by championing inclusive and accessible beauty products, these iconic brands are offering greater independence and opportunity not just for disabled people but everyone as a whole.
