Makeup isn’t just about beauty. For many people who are blind, low-vision, or living with a disability, it’s also about self-expression, empowerment, and identity. But the beauty industry hasn’t always made space for everyone’s needs. Lead by her own love for makeup, Nisreen Abdel-Majid explores what it means to find beauty for people with disabilities. We meet Maria Santiago, a makeup influencer and content creator pushing for more inclusive conversations and honest reviews in the beauty world. We also head to Toronto’s Eaton Centre to see how accessible big-name stores like MAC and Sephora really are, from store layouts to customer service. Finally, we sit down with Trishna Daswaney, Founder of the UK-based brand Kohl Kreatives, which designs adaptive makeup tools built with inclusion at the core. These stories explore what inclusive beauty looks like at the moment, and what it could be if we continue to figure it out together.
