my dexterity and hand mobility and just general trembling has been an absolute nightmare this year, and it’s made me hyper aware of how challenging makeup & skincare packaging can be!
(also this really goes without saying, but of course things that are accessible for me aren’t necessarily accessible to others, and vice versa. this is just my personal experience.)

Living with dexterity issues and hand trembling can make everyday routines, especially applying makeup and skincare, feel daunting. From struggling to open tightly sealed jars to handling small or slippery applicators, these challenges highlight the importance of accessible makeup design. Accessibility is not one-size-fits-all; while some brands cater to specific needs, what works for one person may not suit another. Brands like Tower28, Haus Labs, and Rare Beauty have stepped up with thoughtful packaging and product formulations that consider users with limited hand mobility. Rare Beauty, for example, features a soft pinch design that makes it easier to hold and operate. Additionally, their products often address skin concerns such as redness, inflammation, and irritation—common issues that can be exacerbated by physical challenges. The purple cream blush in a garden-like shade mentioned by users offers not only a visual appeal but also ease of application, demonstrating that aesthetic and function can coexist. Such formulae and packaging innovations serve as game changers, providing more individuals the freedom to enjoy makeup without added frustration. For those dealing with dexterity difficulties, it's also useful to explore tools and adaptive aids designed to ease the application process, including brushes with larger handles or magnetic palettes that reduce fumbling. Engaging with communities, such as disability influencers and accessible beauty forums, can offer valuable recommendations and support. Ultimately, embracing accessible makeup means recognizing individual experiences and needs while encouraging brands to innovate in user-focused packaging and product design. This journey encourages empowerment and celebrates beauty in all its forms, ensuring everyone can confidently express themselves through makeup.
