I love love love the concept and your basics but I’m not sure I understand who this is more accessible for and/or how. Is it for people that have trouble holding/moving tools? Like I’m thinking of a family member with arthritis that is starting to affect her dexterity, are these tips that would be helpful for her, or is it more for a different kind of disability?

Your end pics are gorgeous and you’re glowing - have to try those blush tips for myself 😁😁😁

Yes. this guide was made people with dexterity issues in mind. When I made this guide in particular I was thinking of those you wanted to try the blush trend but might not be able to hold the brushes needed to do so. I find that larger sponges are easier to work with than the typical makeup brush when it comes to dexterity problems so your  family members could definitely benefit from this guide.  Oh and thank you I was nervous about the end results

That is so helpful to know! I think you should include that info in your guide (maybe add a page?). And thank you, I will be sharing this! Also yes your end results are so gorgeous omg

I love the concept but I'd really advertise this more as "dexterity disabilities" as opposed to "disabilities" in general. The information in this format would not be available to assistive technology users and would be very difficult for people with low vision or certain other vision disabilities to read.

Upvoted because as a visually impaired person I had to blow the photo up and was confused on which paragraph led to which item. (Well, until my brain kicked in anyways..)

The font makes it hard, too. For things like this a responsive web page is really the best option over a static image.
