I love the inclusivity of this tutorial. As a disabled woman, it speaks volumes to me about how much your truly love your fans. You’re an absolute gem 💕
“Hard to Screw Up” is my mantra!!! Not just for make-up, but also: clothes, recipes, garden plants, routines at work, etc. High maintenance is over-rated!
Thank you for this comment and to everyone who gave it a like! Sometimes I feel guilty that I am the same way, but now I know I'm not alone! Life is hard enough, why make it harder?!
You’re the best! People talk about & address the topic of inclusivity but only in terms of skin types & colors. But! Including those with mobility or vision issues isn’t talked about at all! This is so great! You’re awesome Em!
Thank you so much just for acknowledging and showing care for the disabled. I have several autoimmune diseases. I have bad hand days and good ones. I can swing wildly and it was a depressing few months when a nearly deadly flare resulted in 3 months of too painful to do even a no makeup makeup looks.
Formatfanaz Aww hun I’m sorry. I also have a chronic illness with lots of swings and am right in the middle of a scary flare, so I totally relate. Hope you are feeling better hun 💗
Formatfanaz ❤️ she is an angel in that way, always trying to simplify stuff for so many of us who don’t have the time, know how or mobility to do a great deal of things , but still want to look and feel good about ourselves.
YES!!! I have a disorder as well that has affected me physically very much, ESPECIALLY my hands and arm, but I still film beauty videos! I wasn’t going to advertise for myself but I think maybe you would enjoy my channel!
Formatfanaz I suffer from an autoimmune disease as well called RA. On bads days I can't brush my teeth or dress myself. I understand your struggle and pain!
I was going to leave a comment saying something similar, but you've said it better. Pain/mobility issues & vision difficulties really make getting dressed, bathing, doing my hair & makeup very frustrating & time consuming. Some days I just don't bother because it's too exhausting. I really appreciate Emily recognizing that many women of a certain age still want to wear makeup but may be encountering certain limitations such as poor eyesight & arthritic hands. Disability isn't mentioned often in the Beauty Community & don"t get me started on chronic illness/invisible disabilities being ignored in general.
Amazing Emily, this idea get passed over most beauty Influencers' heads but as someone who suffers from mobility issues, bad eye-sight & poor makeup skills I want to thank you so much for coming up with this video It will surely help so so much ❤️
Thanks for thinking of those of us who are physically challenged. I am 57 but have chronic pain and neurological issues and NO ONE talks about this! Bless you Emily. Once again you show your big wonderful heart and your commitment that beauty is inclusive
Incredible video! Some people are not included with makeup tutorials due to mobility issues. It's so awesome this video exists for everyone to enjoy makeup! ❤
As someone who recently fractured her arm, this video speaks volumes to me. I never gave it a second thought prior to suddenly only having the use of 1 arm. I have totally relied on easy to use products.
I would love a video dedicated to "all in one" face palettes. Sometimes I just need one palette that can do it all. Traveling, quick work makeup, etc. Hook us up, Em!
melissa laforce She has one, it was a few months back. She highly recommends the Two Faced mini peach palette for eye, cheek, highlight, and even contour. She really enjoys it. The video is a good one too. The look she created is great.
melissa laforce I like my tarteist palette I got in my boxycharm ❤️has bronzer blush and highlighter altogether that you could even use for eyeshadow and it’s in matte plus shimmer❤️😍😍😍
11 or so years on RUclips and you still manage to listen to your viewers and come up with fresh and original content. I cannot even begin to express how much I love your channel and admire you, Emily.
It means so much that you think about disabilities and how it relates to beauty. I'm not physically disabled but I am autistic and have trouble with sensory things and struggle a lot with executive functioning, so knowing about products that are easy and doesn't require a lot of thought is very helpful
I go to the gym during my lunch break. The gym has terrible lighting and I have limited time. I love the Emily the needs palette. I can literally throw color on my lids and cheeks, use a dark shade for liner, coat of mascara and I’m good to go. The palette is 40% off at Ulta now. Buying a replacement! Thanks for a great, budget friendly palette.
Valerie Palkovic that’s one thing I think she does in every tutorial or video she does, trying to show other uses for a product or palette so we don’t have to have 900 things to achieve a look. Most of us don’t have a small Sephora, nor want one, so she’s great about telling us what products we can get much use from. (I feel for her always having to stay on top of new stuff she’s been sent and keeping it organized so she can do videos on them for us, lol.)
Valerie Palkovic yes those are always very helpful❤️I like the tarteist palette I got in my boxycharm❤️highlighter, blush, bronzer and you could also use them shades for your eyes❤️
Thanks for doing an accessible/disability friendly tutorial. There’s a huge number of people in the makeup community who have disabilities. Also-a very goofproof brow product-essence brow pomade! It gives you nice bold but not too bold brows with barely any effort, and you know you can’t really mess it up! My easy to apply foundations-physicians formula healthy foundation, it cosmetics cc cream. I just put them on with my fingers most of the time! Easy blush and bronzer duo-elf aqua blush and bronzer duo, so incredibly beautiful creamy finish, so easy to blend out. I think the butter bronzer also would work like the butter blush. Highlight-the essence pure nude highlight!! So pretty and natural!
I LOVE that you're doing this video! I have Lupus and chronic pain since I was 22 and certain things in an everyday beauty routine are extremely difficult due to issues with grasping and raising my arms so it is really nice that someone is taking time to think about the spoonies!
This video demonstrates exactly why you are so different from every other beauty RUclipsr. I am a psychology professor at a community college and I also work in the students with disabilities program. I have never heard a RUclipsr discuss the varying degrees of abilities that we have as human beings. And, I have never heard anyone directly say that they want to speak specifically to people who may have issues with level of experience, mobility, vision, etc. Ignoring the fact that not everyone has the same approach to learning, or is not abled in the same way as other people, is a problem I see everyday and everywhere in society. I was so touched and pleased to watch this video because it showed me that you are an empathic and tender person, as well as knowledge about makeup. Thank you 😊💕
Perfect timing! My mother is going blind really quickly and I just had to do her eyeliner and brows. It's really hitting her hard that she won't be able to put her 'face on' without help anymore. It's a privilege to help her, but it also breaks my heart😓 Thanks for this💖 I'm going to pick up some of these products. You're wonderful 😊💚
I have the trifecta of Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Osteoarthritis. A hearty amen to using powder for lining my eyes, and cream sticks/ foundation. BareMinerals is my favorite foundation. I have foam things I stick on the end of the brush if my hands hurt too muck. I love this Palette foe eyes.
yes! thank you for always taking into consideration those in different makeup application scenarios - we all truly operate under different circumstances, so this video is so helpful! hope you're having a wonderful 4th, Emily ❤️
I am having a hard time with tmj that really has me feeling down. Haven’t felt like putting much effort into makeup when i have constant jaw pain. I like how you mentioned disabled people even though I wouldn’t personably consider my self disabled. These people are often forgotten especially in the world of beauty. Always love your vids x
Katherine Clark oh Girl I know all about TMJ and feel your pain. Been dealing with it for 20 years and have tried everything short of having my jaw broken and re set. It’s so painful and people just never understand unless they deal with it as well. Try and keep your chin up and I will send you prayers and positivity
Thank you and God bless you for thinking of those with challenges putting on makeup. Whether it be new to makeup or physical challenges this tutorial was amazing. I have been in a sling for the last 4 weeks and unable to use my left hand. 1 thing I also have had issues with is actually opening some of the makeup containers. It has given me a new appreciation of those who may struggle day to day. 🙏🌸🍀🌷🤗
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve completely lost the use of my dominate left hand due to MS. My right hand is very weak. Dealing with lids, brushes and squeeze tubs is very difficult!!
Thank you so much for this. My fingers dislocate frequently and this is super useful for when I may be unable to use my hands as well but still want to do my makeup or for anyone else who has trouble.
I can tell by the tone in your voice from this video, and the previous video, that vacation was very good to you! Your girls (and soon-to-be baby boy) are so lucky to have a mother with such a strong desire to teach them about life skills in a patient and understanding manner! Happy 4th of July!
Oh Emily, thank you so much for thinking about people who have disabilities! I am disabled but it doesn't affect makeup application but it could and I never thought about how difficult doing day to day tasks could be until I became disabled. I don't think I have ever seen a tutorial where they took into account mobility issues that people might have and you are so sweet for thinking about it.
This would be a good self-care gift basket for a cancer patient. My mom passed away from brain cancer, but one of the best things that helped her before she passed away after chemo was over, was giving her makeup to feel more like herself. 💜💜💜
Thanks! Along the same lines, here's another challenge for you. How about people who are homebound so need to do all their makeup, haircare, and skincare shopping by mail...so can't see products in person before plunking down their $. Consider colors, any shades and textures that are more universal than others, return policies,shipping costs, types of products, etc.
Memalus I am trying out the Makeup Revolution one right now. I am going to do a video in a couple weeks showing the comparison between the two and my thoughts. Only used that one time so too soon to say yet.
I have Been a long time subscriber and fan of yours Emily, and for this video I would like to say a massive Thank You ❤️ I am nearly 60 , I have severe arthritis. I am still a woman, I still want to feel pretty. For me, I wear makeup just for myself. For that little bit of joy it gives me to still feel feminine. My hands have begun to shake in recent years. Not terribly, but the tremors are enough that blending for me at times is difficult, and my elbows ache which one wouldn't think it makes a difference here. Ohhh have I found that to be not so. If I have to try and blend and blend , for me the elbow pain is so real !. I loved this video !!!! I always come to your channel to see if a product is good first anyway, but I favorited this video. So I can purchase every single thing you showed us. I am very very appreciative of the time you put into this subject, and you just gave me a bit of pretty back .. 😍 Thank You ❤️ ❤️❤️
@Nikki Diamond -Thank you, so much for sharing your personal situation with us. Your post made me think of my mother, who has developed very painful arthritis, hand tremors, and has dominant hand mobility issues from an infection she got from a rose thorn prick years ago (resulted in an infection that required surgery). I am definitely going to share this video with her. She, like you, is a beautiful woman that likes to look and feel pretty for herself and I know she will appreciate learning about different products. xoxo Lynn
@@MrAshtonone thank you so much for that smile you just gave me! My heart , thoughts, and prayers for your mother. She sounds like a lovely woman indeed. Life can be very difficult to maneuver the smallest of things when a physical disability seems to try to take every single joy left in daily life. Something small , like this..the ability to be strong enough to push through day to day and then not be able to continue on with our beauty routines, it really for me was frustrating and very sad. I hope your Mom gets as much hope and joy in having the small things in our day that are now more difficult , made a lot easier ♥️🙏 Much love to you both 😃
No one ever thinks about discussing the difficulties that the disabled have in using makeup. I became disabled in 2015. I have good days, but lately, I have more days when I just can't get dressed, much less use makeup. I also have malasma. It's so frustrating to be ignored by the beauty community who seems to be following the more is more Instagram makeup, and it's so rare that I could even attempt that. Thank you for acknowledging us people with disabilities.
Now that my skin is finally clear, I'm able to use hardly any makeup. At 44 years old, that's a miracle to me. This morning, I did my normal skincare routine and then went in the bathroom, swiped on a couple stripes of the Bare Minerals Rescue Complexion stick and rubbed it in with my hands...MY HANDS. My skin looked good. I popped on some Colourpop cream blush sticks and then threw on the Benefit brown mascara primer. I'm very fair so on a holiday, I don't want black mascara...it just looks too intense. The brown primer/mascara from Benefit makes my eyelashes show up but not overpower everything else. I'm so happy my skin is clear. It's been a 3 years struggle.
I recently bought Matte About Town & love ❤️ that little palette. The old version of Too Faced Natural Eyes is always in my Go Bag - I can almost use it without looking. Another suggestion for face coverage is a tinted SPF like Australian Gold with Mineral Foundation over top. It’s fast & easy. I have texture to cover & have had great luck with Physicians Formula pressed. PUR pressed is foolproof & buildable also. Neither has too much radiance, nor do they look flat. TY Emily for this wonderful video. YES to some vids of face/eye all-in-one palettes!!
Emily, bless your heart for this. As my mom ages, it’s easy to see how many people would benefit from this. There are things she struggles with that she’s never struggled with before. She has multiple myeloma (in total remission for the past 10 years 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻). While she’s doing great considering, she has so much nerve pain from chemo.
Thank your for addressing the accessibility of the products! If you prefer liquid foundation (or have more oily skin), Dior Backstage is one of the easiest to work with. Not the easiest perhaps to get out of the bottle (it's a liquid without a pump, just a tiny tube opening) but once you have it on your face it blends like a dream. Also, if you miss a spot it won't be as noticeable, because it has medium coverage and it doesn't make harsh lines of where the product has been put on and where it hasn't (which most higher coverage or thicker formula foundation would do). If you have bad lighting or eye-sight impairment this may be a good option for you. As for mascara, I would also add: pick dryer formula over the more liquid ones. They are way less messy around and not as easy to accidentally put all over your eyelids. A good one is Collistar Volume Unico. I would also recommend bronzing blushes from Artdeco. They are quite pigmented but easy to blend, and with one swipe on the product and then buff on your cheeks you get a beautiful sun-kissed result (and you can skip putting bronzer, blush and highlighter separately - or just add some stronger highlight only). Finally, I would also mention packaging and how easy it is to open. For example, cardboard palettes with magnetic closing would be easy to open (e.g. ABH or Zoeva palettes) compared to plastic or metal with clasps (e.g. Two Faced). Loose powder has also the problem of a jar than needs to be twisted to open (which may not be easy for people relying on one hand or people with e.g. arthritis) so pressed powders have another advantage over them. This also disqualifies many concealers in jars.
@berlineczka - another good one I recently found that is not a stick but easy to apply with fingers is the CC cream from Chanel. It is in a tube with a twist off cap, but the product comes out easily, a little goes a long way, and it blends out so well with just your fingers. Very little pressure is needed to get the product out. The finish is beautiful.
Love the video - so glad to see a tutorial for the differently abled :) The only feedback I'd offer, is if you do another video in the series (which I'd love to see) - take into consideration how difficult the packaging is to open and close, as that may be a barrier for some people as well.
I don't know why all RUclips guru's don't take a lesson or 10 from you. You're so humble and sincere and LITERALLY do it for the love of makeup & it truly shows.
Thank you for always thinking one step ahead of others. The inclusive discussion of those with disabilities had me in tears. You are so thoughtful and realize all of us will be there at some point in life. I never thought about the shape of the lipstick tube but you are 100% correct. Living in a hot area of the country I have thrown out more than one tube due to breakage. The lipstick literally falls out of the tube. I have tried gently pushing it back in and putting it in the freezer which only works for a short time. You look so beautiful from your vacation and all of your subscribers cannot wait for the new arrival. 👼🏻 By the way how is Cupcake feeling??🐈 Many blessings to you and your beautiful expanding family. 😎❤️💄 from hot 🥵 Miami Florida.
I can’t express how grateful I am for this video Emily. Someday I want to create a cosmetics line for disabled people and this is such a great inspiration. I knew u were my favorite beauty RUclipsr for a reason!
Thank you for acknowledging the real issue of disability. Even just applying makeup can be a huge struggle when you are disabled or in pain. You’ve been my favorite RUclipsr for years. I just love your channel!
This video was beautiful! Finding ways to include people who are shut out from the traditional beauty community is such an amazing thing and Emily you just did it so effortlessly! Love you and your channel
I've struggled a lot with different concealers. I bought the neutrogena one on your recommendation and I love it! I finally feel confident wearing concealer :)
I don't struggle with any physical disabilities but I'm so here for this acknowledgement of people who are challenged with mobility and vision. I remember a user on reddit once asking for makeup that would be easy to put on because it takes so much energy for them to do their makeup but they love doing it and don't wanna give it up. We have no choice but to continue to stan.
Discovered the Milani Prep, Set, and Glow powder because of Emily, and it's now my go-to setting/finishing powder. It's so finely milled and light weight, and it softens the look of fine lines and pores-just absolutely perfect as an all over face powder. I really appreciate that Emily isn't just churning out a high volume of thoughtless content. Rather, she really focuses on producing videos that will help the viewer-and she does it in such a fun, no-pressure way. You can tell that she enjoys what she does and isn't all about the $$$.
Essence Lash Princess (the purple one) is also great. The brush is easy, shaped to your eye for quick application and will curl your lashes for you, as well as last all day.
Hi Emily, I picked up the Physicians Formula blush in Saucy Mauve on your recommendation and wore it today...so pretty! Your recommendations are always on point 💖
As someone who has rheumatoid arthritis that isn’t that well-controlled yet, I want to thank you. How absolutely lovely of you to think of people like me with mobility and strength issues who would still like to look and feel nice sometimes. Really Emily, you are an angel and I hope you realise how much it means that you care about us xxx
Mary Kay has a skinny lipstick like that as well. And I love the texture. Comfortable, but lasting like a matte lipstick and great coverage. RUclipsrs don't talk about Mary Kay much lol
I’m sure you hear this A LOT, but I have to say, I love how passionate you are about everything you talk about. You can just tell that you truly enjoy everything you talk about. And that you enjoy helping anyone and everyone that you can. I can’t say I watch any other RUclipsrs that are this passionate about what they do. In every video!
I have been in love with the Milani Prep Set & Glow for over a year. You’re honestly the only person I’ve ever seen mention it in a makeup video. Everyone who doesn’t want matte NEEDS it!
Girl I've had the roughest couple of months of my life that I haven't been filming my videos but watching you and listening to you is making me happy again making me realize how much I love filming and playing with make up and making me want to get back to what I love I'm going through some heartbreak and losing a family member and all of that and I just lost my thrive to do what I love butbut watching you is making me want to get back to what I love the most and I just wanna say thank you you are a true inspiration to me and a true inspiration to all of us here you're so amazing and you I love your videos I literally binge watch you but I just want to say thank you for being who you are and making me realize that I should be doing what I love and I miss what I love thank you thank you thank you
Thank you for this video. I put it on Facebook on The Center For Understanding page. So many people struggle with simple tasks. Thanks for reaching out to this community.... You are awesome!
You were one of the very first, if not THE first (it was a long time ago!) youtubers whom I watched to learn about makeup and skin care. Being the youngest of 5 daughters, my mom never really taught me about makeup. She probably thought I would learn by diffusion from my older sisters! (and she wasn't wrong), but where I picked up tips from them here and there, I truly learned to love makeup from you. I haven't watched your videos as diligently as I used to, as I discovered that youtube had unknowingly unsubscribed me from your channel a while ago, but I now happily a subscriber again. I felt like sharing a bit of the positive impact that you have had on my life, and encourage you to keep up the amazing work. Your joy and passion are contagious! God bless!
Great video, Emily!!! I could tell you put a lot of thought in choosing the products. Lol, a doe foot wearing heels, that's a good one. I agree, brow powder is the easiest to use on the brows. Hope you are all having a wonderful 4th of July. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen
Emily I just want to thank you for posting this. I’ve recently lost a good amount of weight and started treating my anxiety (with my doctors help). Thanks to these changes, I started to take an interest in my appearance. I’m almost 45, and have been blind in my left eye since infancy. I was never really in to makeup, mostly because it was very hard for me to cope with eye products. Thanks to your tips, I’m finally developing some small skill, and now I can at least make my eyes look like sisters, rather than completely unrelated! Thank you so much for the practical, helpful advice! ❤️❤️❤️
What an awesome video! I love that it is dark and the sun comes up while you are filming : ) as crazy as your life is, you make time for your followers. So appreciated!
One of my favorite things is watching your videos with my coffee. Your explanation is so thorough and so immensely helpful. Products that hard to screw up is exactly what I am looking for to get ready quickly and some mornings my hands just don’t want to cooperate. And yes please, a video on pallets with eyes and cheeks would be wonderful! Thanks Emily, you’re makeup classes are the best!
Emily, This was a great video! Not only was this such a sincere inclusive video for all women dealing with so many different things in their lives, some of them are part of my personal life. Also, for me on a day to day and the many women I take regional (Metra) trains to and from work in the Chicago area, you gave everyone some new things to think about trying. Also, thank you for showing the Nars palette in action! I have been curious about it. I have seen it in store and was on the fence about it since I was not sure if it would be really useful for me. I am one of those women that does her hair and foundation at home and I am out the door heading to the Metra station to hop on a train to Chicago to go to work. My in transit makeup routine always consists of products that work easily and are not "fussy". Go to products for me are the ABH MR palette, the Bobbi Brown Nude Drama Palette (new purchase and love it), Nars Narcissist, UD Born on the Run, and any of the Huda Obsessions palettes I own (I have grabbed ND minis and full-sized pallets as well) the newer BareMinerals formula (pressed) is easy to work with but does not travel well since it is so soft. Bronzer is Hoola mini, blush (any of my lighter buildable blushes), go to brow is ABH clear and then Benefit Gimme Brow, DiorShow Iconic Mascara with a standard lash curler, Lunch Money by Colour Pop is an easy highlight to use for finger swipe and blend. Lipsticks (any bullet lipstick that is a cream that is not overly creamy or messy; good ones are Bobbi Brown or Urban Decay and Bare Minerals and Lipstick Queen Saint and Sinner collection) and the easiest go to is Gloss is Buxom Full-on Lip cream, Laura Mercier Lip Glace, or Fenty Gloss - (Fussy or the original). I have a select stash of Sigma, Sephora Pro, Mac, Wet N Wild Pro, Smashbox, and IT Cosmetics Brushes that make easy work out of putting on my makeup on an express train. I am done and everything put in my backpack (25 min) just in time to place my Mobile Starbucks order to pick up at the train station. Mascara during 60MPH track switch - no problem. For those wondering - I do not do my makeup in the train care, I find my spot in the vestibule stairwell and stay away from other people so I don't need to worry about offending anyone, getting any tapped off product on anyone or worse - causing any allergic reactions in my fellow riders. Hope this helps any others that makeup on the go! xoxo Lynn
Em, this is a wonderful video idea. It's so nice to see someone thinking about this kind of thing! Everyone deserves to feel put together and nice when they want to, and it's great to see some more accessible ideas!!
Thanks so much for this great list of products and thorough review as well. Worth watching to see the false eyelash applier...how much easier to use than tweezers, Hugs......Sherry
I started watching your channel when I was 7 years ago, when I was 12 and absolutely clueless about makeup. Even now, years later, you still have the best original content that is so useful and informative!! You are honestly a gem in the beauty community
Very good ideas and examples! I'm an older woman and I've found that over the past few years my hands are not as strong and reliable when holding things and using some of my makeup tools. Regarding the powder shadow. I agree that powder is the easiest to use and not screw up when doing brows. But I've found that those tiny brushes and spoolies that come with the product are now more difficult to remove from the little palette and then holding them so I feel like I've got good control. I find that a small headed angled brush and spoolie on a standard handles work much better than those tiny ones included in the kit. Pretty sure your Mom would agree with me! :-)
I’m only a few minutes in and I love that you mentioned people who might have actual physical difficulties when it comes to applications (like me). Kudos to you
Love this! Great for moms holding a baby putting on makeup, anyone with disabilities, beginners or people just don't want the hassle or time of a ton of products or difficult to put on makeup. Thank you! Unique, helpful and entertaining!
For someone who won’t be bothered too much with brows, I agree the brow powder kits work beautifully if you can find your shade and are easy peasy. I love the Loreal brow stylist plumper though just as much to just sweep across the brows and go. It fills the brows in with the fibers or whatever magic is has in it and the brush size is perfect to not make a mess or make difficult.
I'm so glad you addressed the mirror and magnification issue. I never care a whit about mirrors in palettes because I just cannot use them, even when I'm wearing my bifocal contacts.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your thorough and clear way that you explain things. I love watching all your videos, but have learned so much from you so far from any tutorial you do. Don't think I have ever seen anyone explain the lash and lash tweezers thing. Thank you. Everbody always runs off camera to apply lashes. I want to watch any and every video you do about makeup, beauty, organization, your awesome family and family life...everything. Hope you are having a wonderful 4th of July, and thank you so much!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😘💜💞🌺💐 P.S. I have physical limitations because of health problems, so love the topic of this video about easier to put on makeup. Thanks.☺
Love this video. Thank you for including those who may have ability concerns/steadiness of hand concerns. You will forever be one of the kindest, safest, least dramatic beauty channels on RUclips and I’m sure you’ll have many forever subscribers. Blessings to you!
Love this video! I cannot get over how similar the combination of shades in the NARS palette is to your Needs palette! I bet you could get the same look from both! I also really love that you acknowledge that not all stick products (blush sticks, eyeshadow sticks, etc) are easier! I have many eyeshadow sticks and I never find them easier to apply than powder shadows, particularly sticks in cooler shades. Potted cream eyeshadows in certain shades (shimmers that are a few shades darker than my skin tone, like a lighter bronze or mauve) are really easy, but I find stick shadows to be quite tedious sometimes! Colourpop super shock shadows are probably the easiest for one shadow looks in terms of ease of application and blending with fingers.
Hi Emily, long-time viewer here but I was late to the party with this video! Thank you SO much for doing something like this. I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS, or just MS for short) nearly 2 years ago and began struggling with fine motor skills. While I've managed to keep hold on most of them (I'm so blessed to be doing as well as I am!) I unfortunately lost a lot of use of my left hand that just never came back (yet --always hopeful)! This video is not only practically helpful, but is a step towards the right direction in shedding light onto what a privilege it is for people to be able to put on their makeup without hassle!
That Bare Minerals stick foundation is outstanding and my go-to when I need something that will stay on all day, not melt off my face in the heat, but not feel heavy or cakey.
i love this video idea - emily is such a gem. I know so many people that cant see well, have arm mobility issues, exc. heck when i was preg i had terrible carpal tunnel in my hands making holding brushes a no go.

I love the inclusivity of this tutorial. As a disabled woman, it speaks volumes to me about how much your truly love your fans. You’re an absolute gem 💕
“Hard to Screw Up” is my mantra!!! Not just for make-up, but also: clothes, recipes, garden plants, routines at work, etc. High maintenance is over-rated!
Thank you for this comment and to everyone who gave it a like! Sometimes I feel guilty that I am the same way, but now I know I'm not alone! Life is hard enough, why make it harder?!
Michmash yessss👍👍👍easy enuf to do with our eyes closed❤️
Lol me too!!❤
You’re the best! People talk about & address the topic of inclusivity but only in terms of skin types & colors. But! Including those with mobility or vision issues isn’t talked about at all! This is so great! You’re awesome Em!
A beauty guru who is down-to-earth, inclusive, and keeps it 100% REAL?
We are so lucky to have Emily!
Thank you so much just for acknowledging and showing care for the disabled. I have several autoimmune diseases. I have bad hand days and good ones. I can swing wildly and it was a depressing few months when a nearly deadly flare resulted in 3 months of too painful to do even a no makeup makeup looks.
Formatfanaz Aww hun I’m sorry. I also have a chronic illness with lots of swings and am right in the middle of a scary flare, so I totally relate. Hope you are feeling better hun 💗
Formatfanaz ❤️ she is an angel in that way, always trying to simplify stuff for so many of us who don’t have the time, know how or mobility to do a great deal of things , but still want to look and feel good about ourselves.
YES!!! I have a disorder as well that has affected me physically very much, ESPECIALLY my hands and arm, but I still film beauty videos! I wasn’t going to advertise for myself but I think maybe you would enjoy my channel!
Formatfanaz I suffer from an autoimmune disease as well called RA. On bads days I can't brush my teeth or dress myself. I understand your struggle and pain!
I was going to leave a comment saying something similar, but you've said it better. Pain/mobility issues & vision difficulties really make getting dressed, bathing, doing my hair & makeup very frustrating & time consuming. Some days I just don't bother because it's too exhausting. I really appreciate Emily recognizing that many women of a certain age still want to wear makeup but may be encountering certain limitations such as poor eyesight & arthritic hands. Disability isn't mentioned often in the Beauty Community & don"t get me started on chronic illness/invisible disabilities being ignored in general.
Amazing Emily, this idea get passed over most beauty Influencers' heads but as someone who suffers from mobility issues, bad eye-sight & poor makeup skills I want to thank you so much for coming up with this video It will surely help so so much ❤️
Sending this to my MIL who has hand tremors and my mom with carpal tunnel. Emily, you have literally brought me to tears today.
Thank you so much. I was nervous sending that topic/question to you on Instagram. This is beyond anything that I expected for an answer.
Jaime Knarr awesome 👍👍👍
Thanks for thinking of those of us who are physically challenged. I am 57 but have chronic pain and neurological issues and NO ONE talks about this! Bless you Emily. Once again you show your big wonderful heart and your commitment that beauty is inclusive
Incredible video! Some people are not included with makeup tutorials due to mobility issues. It's so awesome this video exists for everyone to enjoy makeup! ❤
Lily Sabbath yes❤️
I am disabled and affected mostly in my hands and arms, but everywhere! This video felt like it was dedicated to me! I also film beauty videos btw! 💕
I love your videos btw!
As someone who recently fractured her arm, this video speaks volumes to me. I never gave it a second thought prior to suddenly only having the use of 1 arm. I have totally relied on easy to use products.
Lori Is Awseome wish u a speedy recovery
Check emily video "make up with one hand" she filmed it while holding baby belle.
I would love a video dedicated to "all in one" face palettes. Sometimes I just need one palette that can do it all. Traveling, quick work makeup, etc. Hook us up, Em!
melissa laforce She has one, it was a few months back. She highly recommends the Two Faced mini peach palette for eye, cheek, highlight, and even contour. She really enjoys it. The video is a good one too. The look she created is great.
Emily’s “Needs” palette that she created is exactly that! It’s even on sale at Ulta right now
melissa laforce I like my tarteist palette I got in my boxycharm ❤️has bronzer blush and highlighter altogether that you could even use for eyeshadow and it’s in matte plus shimmer❤️😍😍😍
11 or so years on RUclips and you still manage to listen to your viewers and come up with fresh and original content. I cannot even begin to express how much I love your channel and admire you, Emily.
It means so much that you think about disabilities and how it relates to beauty. I'm not physically disabled but I am autistic and have trouble with sensory things and struggle a lot with executive functioning, so knowing about products that are easy and doesn't require a lot of thought is very helpful
I go to the gym during my lunch break. The gym has terrible lighting and I have limited time. I love the Emily the needs palette. I can literally throw color on my lids and cheeks, use a dark shade for liner, coat of mascara and I’m good to go. The palette is 40% off at Ulta now. Buying a replacement! Thanks for a great, budget friendly palette.
Wonderful tip! Thanks so much.
I would love to see a multitasking face palette video!! I loved this video Emily, hope you’re having a great day!
Valerie Palkovic that’s one thing I think she does in every tutorial or video she does, trying to show other uses for a product or palette so we don’t have to have 900 things to achieve a look. Most of us don’t have a small Sephora, nor want one, so she’s great about telling us what products we can get much use from. (I feel for her always having to stay on top of new stuff she’s been sent and keeping it organized so she can do videos on them for us, lol.)
The NARS palette could be a multi use face falette. The middle eyeshadows could work as blush?
Valerie Palkovic yes those are always very helpful❤️I like the tarteist palette I got in my boxycharm❤️highlighter, blush, bronzer and you could also use them shades for your eyes❤️
Thanks for doing an accessible/disability friendly tutorial. There’s a huge number of people in the makeup community who have disabilities.
Also-a very goofproof brow product-essence brow pomade! It gives you nice bold but not too bold brows with barely any effort, and you know you can’t really mess it up!
My easy to apply foundations-physicians formula healthy foundation, it cosmetics cc cream. I just put them on with my fingers most of the time!
Easy blush and bronzer duo-elf aqua blush and bronzer duo, so incredibly beautiful creamy finish, so easy to blend out. I think the butter bronzer also would work like the butter blush. Highlight-the essence pure nude highlight!! So pretty and natural!
I LOVE that you're doing this video! I have Lupus and chronic pain since I was 22 and certain things in an everyday beauty routine are extremely difficult due to issues with grasping and raising my arms so it is really nice that someone is taking time to think about the spoonies!
I'm right there with you love. I'm 45 with Lupus. My heart goes out to you.
This video demonstrates exactly why you are so different from every other beauty RUclipsr. I am a psychology professor at a community college and I also work in the students with disabilities program. I have never heard a RUclipsr discuss the varying degrees of abilities that we have as human beings. And, I have never heard anyone directly say that they want to speak specifically to people who may have issues with level of experience, mobility, vision, etc. Ignoring the fact that not everyone has the same approach to learning, or is not abled in the same way as other people, is a problem I see everyday and everywhere in society. I was so touched and pleased to watch this video because it showed me that you are an empathic and tender person, as well as knowledge about makeup. Thank you 😊💕
Perfect timing! My mother is going blind really quickly and I just had to do her eyeliner and brows. It's really hitting her hard that she won't be able to put her 'face on' without help anymore. It's a privilege to help her, but it also breaks my heart😓 Thanks for this💖 I'm going to pick up some of these products. You're wonderful 😊💚
I have the trifecta of Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Osteoarthritis. A hearty amen to using powder for lining my eyes, and cream sticks/ foundation. BareMinerals is my favorite foundation. I have foam things I stick on the end of the brush if my hands hurt too muck. I love this Palette foe eyes.
This is a beautiful, awesome video, I have MS and it effects my eyesight and coordination, but I still love makeup...thank you!
yes! thank you for always taking into consideration those in different makeup application scenarios - we all truly operate under different circumstances, so this video is so helpful! hope you're having a wonderful 4th, Emily ❤️
thank you!! Glad you enjoyed & happy 4th!!
I am having a hard time with tmj that really has me feeling down. Haven’t felt like putting much effort into makeup when i have constant jaw pain. I like how you mentioned disabled people even though I wouldn’t personably consider my self disabled. These people are often forgotten especially in the world of beauty. Always love your vids x
Katherine Clark oh Girl I know all about TMJ and feel your pain. Been dealing with it for 20 years and have tried everything short of having my jaw broken and re set. It’s so painful and people just never understand unless they deal with it as well. Try and keep your chin up and I will send you prayers and positivity
Thank you and God bless you for thinking of those with challenges putting on makeup. Whether it be new to makeup or physical challenges this tutorial was amazing. I have been in a sling for the last 4 weeks and unable to use my left hand. 1 thing I also have had issues with is actually opening some of the makeup containers. It has given me a new appreciation of those who may struggle day to day. 🙏🌸🍀🌷🤗
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve completely lost the use of my dominate left hand due to MS. My right hand is very weak. Dealing with lids, brushes and squeeze tubs is very difficult!!
Thank you so much for this. My fingers dislocate frequently and this is super useful for when I may be unable to use my hands as well but still want to do my makeup or for anyone else who has trouble.
I can tell by the tone in your voice from this video, and the previous video, that vacation was very good to you! Your girls (and soon-to-be baby boy) are so lucky to have a mother with such a strong desire to teach them about life skills in a patient and understanding manner! Happy 4th of July!
Thank heavens for Emily always making the videos we need ❤️
Oh Emily, thank you so much for thinking about people who have disabilities! I am disabled but it doesn't affect makeup application but it could and I never thought about how difficult doing day to day tasks could be until I became disabled. I don't think I have ever seen a tutorial where they took into account mobility issues that people might have and you are so sweet for thinking about it.
This would be a good self-care gift basket for a cancer patient. My mom passed away from brain cancer, but one of the best things that helped her before she passed away after chemo was over, was giving her makeup to feel more like herself. 💜💜💜
I’m going to share this video in my Ehlers Danlos syndrome support group!! Thank you so so much for a video like this ❤️❤️
This tutorial is sooooo EDS hand/wrist friendly. Emily never fails to impress with her thoughtfulness! 💜
Thanks! Along the same lines, here's another challenge for you. How about people who are homebound so need to do all their makeup, haircare, and skincare shopping by mail...so can't see products in person before plunking down their $. Consider colors, any shades and textures that are more universal than others, return policies,shipping costs, types of products, etc.
I don't really comment all that often, but I wanted to say that I love you and your content. I'm so excited to meet little man soon too.
Thank you so very much!
I would love to find a dupe for the Bare Minerals complexion stick that you used.
I’ve heard really good things about the Ulta Hydrating Foundation Stick. I haven’t tried it, but I plan to when I use up my current foundation stick!
Neutrogena has a good one.
Memalus I am trying out the Makeup Revolution one right now. I am going to do a video in a couple weeks showing the comparison between the two and my thoughts. Only used that one time so too soon to say yet.
As someone with RA with bone erosions in my hands and wrist , I thank you for this.♡♡
I have Been a long time subscriber and fan of yours Emily, and for this video I would like to say a massive Thank You ❤️
I am nearly 60 , I have severe arthritis. I am still a woman, I still want to feel pretty. For me, I wear makeup just for myself. For that little bit of joy it gives me to still feel feminine. My hands have begun to shake in recent years. Not terribly, but the tremors are enough that blending for me at times is difficult, and my elbows ache which one wouldn't think it makes a difference here. Ohhh have I found that to be not so. If I have to try and blend and blend , for me the elbow pain is so real !.
I loved this video !!!!
I always come to your channel to see if a product is good first anyway, but I favorited this video. So I can purchase every single thing you showed us. I am very very appreciative of the time you put into this subject, and you just gave me a bit of pretty back .. 😍 Thank You ❤️ ❤️❤️
@Nikki Diamond -Thank you, so much for sharing your personal situation with us. Your post made me think of my mother, who has developed very painful arthritis, hand tremors, and has dominant hand mobility issues from an infection she got from a rose thorn prick years ago (resulted in an infection that required surgery). I am definitely going to share this video with her. She, like you, is a beautiful woman that likes to look and feel pretty for herself and I know she will appreciate learning about different products. xoxo Lynn
@@MrAshtonone thank you so much for that smile you just gave me! My heart , thoughts, and prayers for your mother. She sounds like a lovely woman indeed. Life can be very difficult to maneuver the smallest of things when a physical disability seems to try to take every single joy left in daily life. Something small , like this..the ability to be strong enough to push through day to day and then not be able to continue on with our beauty routines, it really for me was frustrating and very sad. I hope your Mom gets as much hope and joy in having the small things in our day that are now more difficult , made a lot easier ♥️🙏 Much love to you both 😃
Thank you so much for the topic. With crippled fingers from Rheumatoid Arthritis and eyes that need a 15x mirror your video has helped me so much.
No one ever thinks about discussing the difficulties that the disabled have in using makeup. I became disabled in 2015. I have good days, but lately, I have more days when I just can't get dressed, much less use makeup. I also have malasma. It's so frustrating to be ignored by the beauty community who seems to be following the more is more Instagram makeup, and it's so rare that I could even attempt that. Thank you for acknowledging us people with disabilities.
Now that my skin is finally clear, I'm able to use hardly any makeup. At 44 years old, that's a miracle to me. This morning, I did my normal skincare routine and then went in the bathroom, swiped on a couple stripes of the Bare Minerals Rescue Complexion stick and rubbed it in with my hands...MY HANDS. My skin looked good. I popped on some Colourpop cream blush sticks and then threw on the Benefit brown mascara primer. I'm very fair so on a holiday, I don't want black mascara...it just looks too intense. The brown primer/mascara from Benefit makes my eyelashes show up but not overpower everything else. I'm so happy my skin is clear. It's been a 3 years struggle.
Congrats to you, Shelby!
I recently bought Matte About Town & love ❤️ that little palette. The old version of Too Faced Natural Eyes is always in my Go Bag - I can almost use it without looking. Another suggestion for face coverage is a tinted SPF like Australian Gold with Mineral Foundation over top. It’s fast & easy. I have texture to cover & have had great luck with Physicians Formula pressed. PUR pressed is foolproof & buildable also. Neither has too much radiance, nor do they look flat. TY Emily for this wonderful video. YES to some vids of face/eye all-in-one palettes!!
Emily, bless your heart for this. As my mom ages, it’s easy to see how many people would benefit from this. There are things she struggles with that she’s never struggled with before. She has multiple myeloma (in total remission for the past 10 years 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻). While she’s doing great considering, she has so much nerve pain from chemo.
Thank your for addressing the accessibility of the products!
If you prefer liquid foundation (or have more oily skin), Dior Backstage is one of the easiest to work with. Not the easiest perhaps to get out of the bottle (it's a liquid without a pump, just a tiny tube opening) but once you have it on your face it blends like a dream. Also, if you miss a spot it won't be as noticeable, because it has medium coverage and it doesn't make harsh lines of where the product has been put on and where it hasn't (which most higher coverage or thicker formula foundation would do). If you have bad lighting or eye-sight impairment this may be a good option for you.
As for mascara, I would also add: pick dryer formula over the more liquid ones. They are way less messy around and not as easy to accidentally put all over your eyelids. A good one is Collistar Volume Unico.
I would also recommend bronzing blushes from Artdeco. They are quite pigmented but easy to blend, and with one swipe on the product and then buff on your cheeks you get a beautiful sun-kissed result (and you can skip putting bronzer, blush and highlighter separately - or just add some stronger highlight only).
Finally, I would also mention packaging and how easy it is to open. For example, cardboard palettes with magnetic closing would be easy to open (e.g. ABH or Zoeva palettes) compared to plastic or metal with clasps (e.g. Two Faced). Loose powder has also the problem of a jar than needs to be twisted to open (which may not be easy for people relying on one hand or people with e.g. arthritis) so pressed powders have another advantage over them. This also disqualifies many concealers in jars.
@berlineczka - another good one I recently found that is not a stick but easy to apply with fingers is the CC cream from Chanel. It is in a tube with a twist off cap, but the product comes out easily, a little goes a long way, and it blends out so well with just your fingers. Very little pressure is needed to get the product out. The finish is beautiful.
Love the video - so glad to see a tutorial for the differently abled :) The only feedback I'd offer, is if you do another video in the series (which I'd love to see) - take into consideration how difficult the packaging is to open and close, as that may be a barrier for some people as well.
I so appreciate you thinking of people with limited mobility. Your content is so original, Emily, and I appreciate everything you put out!
I don't know why all RUclips guru's don't take a lesson or 10 from you. You're so humble and sincere and LITERALLY do it for the love of makeup & it truly shows.
Good video! I had two srokes and makeup application has become problematic. Thanks for the tips!!!
Thank you for always thinking one step ahead of others. The inclusive discussion of those with disabilities had me in tears. You are so thoughtful and realize all of us will be there at some point in life.
I never thought about the shape of the lipstick tube but you are 100% correct. Living in a hot area of the country I have thrown out more than one tube due to breakage. The lipstick literally falls out of the tube. I have tried gently pushing it back in and putting it in the freezer which only works for a short time.
You look so beautiful from your vacation and all of your subscribers cannot wait for the new arrival. 👼🏻
By the way how is Cupcake feeling??🐈
Many blessings to you and your beautiful expanding family.
😎❤️💄 from hot 🥵 Miami Florida.
I love how you explain things so thoroughly - be it process or product. It is incredibly helpful to understand not just the how but also the why.
that means a lot, thank you so much!
I can’t express how grateful I am for this video Emily. Someday I want to create a cosmetics line for disabled people and this is such a great inspiration. I knew u were my favorite beauty RUclipsr for a reason!
Thank you for acknowledging the real issue of disability. Even just applying makeup can be a huge struggle when you are disabled or in pain. You’ve been my favorite RUclipsr for years. I just love your channel!
this was fun to watch! you should make this a series!
This video was beautiful! Finding ways to include people who are shut out from the traditional beauty community is such an amazing thing and Emily you just did it so effortlessly! Love you and your channel
I've struggled a lot with different concealers. I bought the neutrogena one on your recommendation and I love it! I finally feel confident wearing concealer :)
Love that you mentioned people with varying motor skills! You are wonderful.
I don't struggle with any physical disabilities but I'm so here for this acknowledgement of people who are challenged with mobility and vision. I remember a user on reddit once asking for makeup that would be easy to put on because it takes so much energy for them to do their makeup but they love doing it and don't wanna give it up.
We have no choice but to continue to stan.
Discovered the Milani Prep, Set, and Glow powder because of Emily, and it's now my go-to setting/finishing powder. It's so finely milled and light weight, and it softens the look of fine lines and pores-just absolutely perfect as an all over face powder. I really appreciate that Emily isn't just churning out a high volume of thoughtless content. Rather, she really focuses on producing videos that will help the viewer-and she does it in such a fun, no-pressure way. You can tell that she enjoys what she does and isn't all about the $$$.
Essence Lash Princess (the purple one) is also great. The brush is easy, shaped to your eye for quick application and will curl your lashes for you, as well as last all day.
I love how inclusive and thoughtful you are. You are always making videos who can work for any and everyone and it’s really appreciated
Hi Emily, I picked up the Physicians Formula blush in Saucy Mauve on your recommendation and wore it today...so pretty! Your recommendations are always on point 💖
As someone who has rheumatoid arthritis that isn’t that well-controlled yet, I want to thank you. How absolutely lovely of you to think of people like me with mobility and strength issues who would still like to look and feel nice sometimes. Really Emily, you are an angel and I hope you realise how much it means that you care about us xxx
Mary Kay has a skinny lipstick like that as well. And I love the texture. Comfortable, but lasting like a matte lipstick and great coverage. RUclipsrs don't talk about Mary Kay much lol
I’m sure you hear this A LOT, but I have to say, I love how passionate you are about everything you talk about. You can just tell that you truly enjoy everything you talk about. And that you enjoy helping anyone and everyone that you can. I can’t say I watch any other RUclipsrs that are this passionate about what they do. In every video!
I have been in love with the Milani Prep Set & Glow for over a year. You’re honestly the only person I’ve ever seen mention it in a makeup video. Everyone who doesn’t want matte NEEDS it!
Girl I've had the roughest couple of months of my life that I haven't been filming my videos but watching you and listening to you is making me happy again making me realize how much I love filming and playing with make up and making me want to get back to what I love I'm going through some heartbreak and losing a family member and all of that and I just lost my thrive to do what I love butbut watching you is making me want to get back to what I love the most and I just wanna say thank you you are a true inspiration to me and a true inspiration to all of us here you're so amazing and you I love your videos I literally binge watch you but I just want to say thank you for being who you are and making me realize that I should be doing what I love and I miss what I love thank you thank you thank you
Nobody does such thoughtful, informative and entertaining videos. Much love Em!!!
Thank you for this video. I put it on Facebook on The Center For Understanding page. So many people struggle with simple tasks. Thanks for reaching out to this community.... You are awesome!
You were one of the very first, if not THE first (it was a long time ago!) youtubers whom I watched to learn about makeup and skin care. Being the youngest of 5 daughters, my mom never really taught me about makeup. She probably thought I would learn by diffusion from my older sisters! (and she wasn't wrong), but where I picked up tips from them here and there, I truly learned to love makeup from you. I haven't watched your videos as diligently as I used to, as I discovered that youtube had unknowingly unsubscribed me from your channel a while ago, but I now happily a subscriber again. I felt like sharing a bit of the positive impact that you have had on my life, and encourage you to keep up the amazing work. Your joy and passion are contagious! God bless!
Great video, Emily!!! I could tell you put a lot of thought in choosing the products. Lol, a doe foot wearing heels, that's a good one. I agree, brow powder is the easiest to use on the brows. Hope you are all having a wonderful 4th of July. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen
Emily I just want to thank you for posting this. I’ve recently lost a good amount of weight and started treating my anxiety (with my doctors help). Thanks to these changes, I started to take an interest in my appearance. I’m almost 45, and have been blind in my left eye since infancy. I was never really in to makeup, mostly because it was very hard for me to cope with eye products. Thanks to your tips, I’m finally developing some small skill, and now I can at least make my eyes look like sisters, rather than completely unrelated!
Thank you so much for the practical, helpful advice! ❤️❤️❤️
What an awesome video! I love that it is dark and the sun comes up while you are filming : ) as crazy as your life is, you make time for your followers. So appreciated!
One of my favorite things is watching your videos with my coffee. Your explanation is so thorough and so immensely helpful. Products that hard to screw up is exactly what I am looking for to get ready quickly and some mornings my hands just don’t want to cooperate.
And yes please, a video on pallets with eyes and cheeks would be wonderful! Thanks Emily, you’re makeup classes are the best!
I have MS so I found this helpful!
What a thoughtful video, Emily! Thank you for always being so honest, conscientious, and genuine!
Love this concept of a video! Anything that acknowledges and respects all beauty content viewers deserves a big hug and thumbs up!!! 👍🏻
Loving the different types of videos you’ve been doing lately. I feel like you are thinking outside the box.❤️💕
You are so thoughtful and knowledgable on things that many influencers would never even mention. I will always be a true Emily fanatic !
Emily, This was a great video! Not only was this such a sincere inclusive video for all women dealing with so many different things in their lives, some of them are part of my personal life. Also, for me on a day to day and the many women I take regional (Metra) trains to and from work in the Chicago area, you gave everyone some new things to think about trying. Also, thank you for showing the Nars palette in action! I have been curious about it. I have seen it in store and was on the fence about it since I was not sure if it would be really useful for me. I am one of those women that does her hair and foundation at home and I am out the door heading to the Metra station to hop on a train to Chicago to go to work. My in transit makeup routine always consists of products that work easily and are not "fussy". Go to products for me are the ABH MR palette, the Bobbi Brown Nude Drama Palette (new purchase and love it), Nars Narcissist, UD Born on the Run, and any of the Huda Obsessions palettes I own (I have grabbed ND minis and full-sized pallets as well) the newer BareMinerals formula (pressed) is easy to work with but does not travel well since it is so soft. Bronzer is Hoola mini, blush (any of my lighter buildable blushes), go to brow is ABH clear and then Benefit Gimme Brow, DiorShow Iconic Mascara with a standard lash curler, Lunch Money by Colour Pop is an easy highlight to use for finger swipe and blend. Lipsticks (any bullet lipstick that is a cream that is not overly creamy or messy; good ones are Bobbi Brown or Urban Decay and Bare Minerals and Lipstick Queen Saint and Sinner collection) and the easiest go to is Gloss is Buxom Full-on Lip cream, Laura Mercier Lip Glace, or Fenty Gloss - (Fussy or the original). I have a select stash of Sigma, Sephora Pro, Mac, Wet N Wild Pro, Smashbox, and IT Cosmetics Brushes that make easy work out of putting on my makeup on an express train. I am done and everything put in my backpack (25 min) just in time to place my Mobile Starbucks order to pick up at the train station. Mascara during 60MPH track switch - no problem. For those wondering - I do not do my makeup in the train care, I find my spot in the vestibule stairwell and stay away from other people so I don't need to worry about offending anyone, getting any tapped off product on anyone or worse - causing any allergic reactions in my fellow riders. Hope this helps any others that makeup on the go! xoxo Lynn
Em, this is a wonderful video idea. It's so nice to see someone thinking about this kind of thing! Everyone deserves to feel put together and nice when they want to, and it's great to see some more accessible ideas!!
You are just the best! Your videos are so informative and your presentation is flawless. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for this great list of products and thorough review as well. Worth watching to see the false eyelash applier...how much easier to use than tweezers, Hugs......Sherry
I love how you describe actually putting makeup on and blending.
I started watching your channel when I was 7 years ago, when I was 12 and absolutely clueless about makeup. Even now, years later, you still have the best original content that is so useful and informative!! You are honestly a gem in the beauty community
Very good ideas and examples! I'm an older woman and I've found that over the past few years my hands are not as strong and reliable when holding things and using some of my makeup tools.
Regarding the powder shadow. I agree that powder is the easiest to use and not screw up when doing brows. But I've found that those tiny brushes and spoolies that come with the product are now more difficult to remove from the little palette and then holding them so I feel like I've got good control. I find that a small headed angled brush and spoolie on a standard handles work much better than those tiny ones included in the kit. Pretty sure your Mom would agree with me! :-)
I’m only a few minutes in and I love that you mentioned people who might have actual physical difficulties when it comes to applications (like me). Kudos to you
Love this! Great for moms holding a baby putting on makeup, anyone with disabilities, beginners or people just don't want the hassle or time of a ton of products or difficult to put on makeup. Thank you! Unique, helpful and entertaining!
For someone who won’t be bothered too much with brows, I agree the brow powder kits work beautifully if you can find your shade and are easy peasy. I love the Loreal brow stylist plumper though just as much to just sweep across the brows and go. It fills the brows in with the fibers or whatever magic is has in it and the brush size is perfect to not make a mess or make difficult.
Some days are just “ easy need kind of days”, you are so thoughtful! So glad you are back from vacay, my beauty 💕🌹💕
I'm so glad you addressed the mirror and magnification issue. I never care a whit about mirrors in palettes because I just cannot use them, even when I'm wearing my bifocal contacts.
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your thorough and clear way that you explain things. I love watching all your videos, but have learned so much from you so far from any tutorial you do. Don't think I have ever seen anyone explain the lash and lash tweezers thing. Thank you. Everbody always runs off camera to apply lashes. I want to watch any and every video you do about makeup, beauty, organization, your awesome family and family life...everything. Hope you are having a wonderful 4th of July, and thank you so much!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😘💜💞🌺💐
P.S. I have physical limitations because of health problems, so love the topic of this video about easier to put on makeup. Thanks.☺
Loved the tutorial, would like to see more “easy” videos. Thanks for all you do for us! We appreciate you!
Love this video. Thank you for including those who may have ability concerns/steadiness of hand concerns. You will forever be one of the kindest, safest, least dramatic beauty channels on RUclips and I’m sure you’ll have many forever subscribers. Blessings to you!
Love this video! I cannot get over how similar the combination of shades in the NARS palette is to your Needs palette! I bet you could get the same look from both! I also really love that you acknowledge that not all stick products (blush sticks, eyeshadow sticks, etc) are easier! I have many eyeshadow sticks and I never find them easier to apply than powder shadows, particularly sticks in cooler shades. Potted cream eyeshadows in certain shades (shimmers that are a few shades darker than my skin tone, like a lighter bronze or mauve) are really easy, but I find stick shadows to be quite tedious sometimes! Colourpop super shock shadows are probably the easiest for one shadow looks in terms of ease of application and blending with fingers.
thank you for breaking down the lash application....I was kinda of intimated with wearing falsies....this will definitely be helpful!
You r the only you tuber who has mentioned people with limited mobility. As always u r kind and thoughtful toward others. Great video.
Hi Emily, long-time viewer here but I was late to the party with this video! Thank you SO much for doing something like this. I was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS, or just MS for short) nearly 2 years ago and began struggling with fine motor skills. While I've managed to keep hold on most of them (I'm so blessed to be doing as well as I am!) I unfortunately lost a lot of use of my left hand that just never came back (yet --always hopeful)! This video is not only practically helpful, but is a step towards the right direction in shedding light onto what a privilege it is for people to be able to put on their makeup without hassle!
That Bare Minerals stick foundation is outstanding and my go-to when I need something that will stay on all day, not melt off my face in the heat, but not feel heavy or cakey.
Thank you for being so thoughtful in making this inclusive video 🤩 You are graceful and classy with your channel!
i love this video idea - emily is such a gem. I know so many people that cant see well, have arm mobility issues, exc. heck when i was preg i had terrible carpal tunnel in my hands making holding brushes a no go.
