Makeup is often seen as a language of self-expression but what happens when that world isn’t built for you? For World Sight Day, the Shine Foundation teamed up with Indigenous-owned Cheekbone Beauty to create Scarlette’s Palette, the first-ever tactile makeup palette designed for blind and low-vision users.

Nisreen Abdel-Majid learns how a 14-year-old girl’s dream became a movement for inclusive design. In this roundtable conversation with Shine Foundation CEO Tiffany Houston, Cheekbone Beauty founder Jenn Harper, and Scarlette herself, we ask, what can accessible beauty feel like, and how can we get there one product at a time?
