Beauty Accessibility

The design and practice of making beauty and personal grooming products, tools, services, and information accessible to people with disabilities. Beauty accessibility encompasses tactile and braille product labeling, non-visual makeup application techniques, accessible beauty tutorials, inclusive product design with ergonomic tools, and assistive technologies that provide feedback on appearance. As an emerging area of accessibility research, beauty accessibility recognizes that cosmetics and personal grooming are not trivial concerns but fundamental to self-expression, identity, confidence, and social participation for people with disabilities.
