Accessible Makeup That Is Easy to Open and Cruelty-Free
Makeup can be daunting for people with arthritis, tremors, or other dexterity issues that affect their ability to open and apply products. Here are a few companies that design products with these issues in mind—and since these accessible makeup products are cruelty-free and vegan, you can look gorgeous without harming animals.
Brands With Accessible Makeup:
Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty
Rare Beauty is a pioneer in this area. Their commitment to diversity has led them to create the Made Accessible Initiative, dedicated to research that will inform how the company designs their own packaging and be shared with the beauty industry at large. With their wide range of shades in packaging that’s comfortable to hold, you’re sure to find makeup that’s perfect for you.
Kohl Kreatives
This company makes accessible makeup brushes that are vegan and adhesive stencils that will help you with eye makeup, contouring, and temporary tattoos.
GUIDE Beauty
GUIDE founder Terri Bryant is a celebrity makeup artist and beauty educator who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and decided to create an easier, better way to apply makeup. The company’s proprietary adaptive makeup tools literally guide your hand. The company offers vegan, ergonomic brushes and a variety of eye makeup.
Making Your Makeup More Accessible
Not in a position to buy a whole new accessible makeup collection? Try wrapping your small makeup holders in self-adhering bandage wrap, masking tape, or even rubber bands to make them easier to hold on to.
Why Vegan and Cruelty-Free?
It’s easy to look great without harming animals, even if your needs are more specialized than most. Buying synthetic brushes and lashes ensures that animals like minks and sables aren’t trapped, drowned, and beaten to death in the wild or strangled, electrocuted, or beaten and skinned alive in the fur industry. Choosing cruelty-free cosmetics spares sensitive, emotionally complex animals like rats and rabbits from cruel, painful tests.
