Thanks for giving me a space to share my voice, Allure. :) As always, I'm not here trying to represent all blind people, I'm just one blind girl sharing my opinion! I'm also not an expert in design, so take that for what you will. I just know what would help make things easier for me. :)
Hi Molly! It’s been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos - too long! I’ll have to check your channel again soon. I enjoy all your hair colours, but I have to say that the current blonde shade is stunning! Such a buttery soft colour. Thanks for another great video
those herbal essences bottles really show that even these minimalist brands don’t have an excuse because they could be labeling their bottles in a very subtle way that sighted people probably wouldn’t even notice.
It’s crazy to think about how many beauty youtubers have collabed with Molly yet havent taken any of this info into consideration with their makeup lines
Right light after Shane pretending to be blind and joked about it with his friends and walking canes, I really thought he was gonna make his pallet accessible
I will say, on James’ palette the top of his had the glossy font which can be a indicator. It also has the larger pans in the middle so that helps differentiate between the pans a bit. The disorganized color though...
Where I attend, you get kind of a 50/50 on if professors care about accessibility or not. Some of them never bring it up, others will dock you points if you don't consider accessibility in your designs. I've been doing my best to really consider any accessibility issues when I am creating a design. Videos like this are very inspiring and bring up new issues I never would have thought of otherwise!
as a graphic designer, i wish there was a class on accessibility design. because believe it or not, in my 5 years of uni, i've never had any lessons about such a topic.
I took a graphic design class in college and I remember we had to make a bank notes and I was thinking it might be hard for a blind person to tell the difference between a twenty US dollar bill and a one US dollar bill so I made the $100 the regular sized and decreased the bills by a few centimeters and the professor looked at me like why would I do such a thing like. Blind people don’t go out to buy things and I was like... okay I mean the project was to make our own type of bank notes and have any type of design to it... but I think accessibility design would be a great class!
Absolutely agree! Industrial designer here. I don't recall any classes specifically on this subject as well, while I think it should be a class in the very first year so you can take it with you.
@@gabbya7394 Ok well 1) that professor is such an idiot and 2) its interesting that you use money as an example for accessibility because Australia recently redesigned the notes, and added raised dots to each of them so blind people can tell which is which eg $5 notes have 1 bump, $10 have 2 etc
Same im a student in university for graphic design and I wish we had an accessible design class. I'm still trying to learn everything I can through Molly and other people!
I always found it so hard to create a look on the initial look of it because the color story is random it’s so annoying because it’s so easy to fix. But I’ve found that taking the pans out and putting them in a z palette and organize the colors myself plus most palettes are frickin gigantic
Same haha, immidiatly started to brainstorm about potential packaging that probably will never happen because who cares of my ideas and I don't want to start my own.
The Herbal Essences bottle shows that even affordable, drugstore brands can differentiate. There is no excuse for any brands to not make all their products accessible.
@@doflya129 honestly herbal essences is the only brand of shampoo/conditioner i can use because their ingredients don't irritate my skin. I'd consider them pretty high quality too
Universal design is one of the first concepts we learn for architecture and interior design and is a MUST, especially for public places. However, now that my eye is attuned to look for it, I notice how little universal design transfers into product design, where it's often needed more.
universal design stopped being a must during the postmodern era tho (at least for graphic design). It's more about a combination between functionality and adaptability to different social groups and kinds of clients. The "one product for all" concept died out after modernism because its nearly impossible to achieve unless you assume everybody has the same sociocultural background. Its a complex topic when applying this to accessibility for disabled people, which i think is important. Universal design was functional in communication but it dried out on creativity and everything felt sort of dull, now you have to find a balance, but the MUST at the end of the day is stil funcionality, not universalism since that will always inevitably exclude someone
@@mag9797 I don't think universal design was ever largely applied in graphic design. I did a whole project on it (at universalgraphicdesign.com) and I really had to dig for content. That said, even if you don't care about people or think "well, I'll always leave someone out anyway," it's still worth aiming for, even for selfish reasons. The less that people need to use aids to use your product, the more they're interacting with it the way that you designed it. Architecture is a really easy place to point this out - e.g., why muck up your architectural design with a chair lift when you can just use a ramp. On websites, the less people need to magnify or run it through filters, the less they'll 'ruin' how you've laid out the site.
I feel so uneducated for never thinking about this. Some brands really do put a lot of effort and thought into accessibility to the product design especially herbal essence.
This is outstandingly educational. I was ignorant to the fact that blind people like using beauty products and it never crossed my mind how packaging needs to be accessible. Also, one thing I noticed in the video is that not everything has to be expensive to be functional. That mascara is probably the cheapest mascara but never did I think its design was good for those who can't see.
Totally 100% with you here! I feel a little silly that I got caught up in my privilege to even think about these accessibility roadblocks. Good on Allure for this!
Same. Beauty products are connected to being visually stimulating, so I’m confused as to why a blind person would put value on something they can’t themselves access. i. e. enjoy the fruit of their labor/ see how they look. I am sighted but as a kid, I always found it confusing as to why people threw colors on their faces. Now I understand it’s due to insecurity or a love for art. But why would a blind person value vanity?
The mascara is most def not the cheapest, but it’s super popular so it’s good that it’s packaging is well done. I had no idea that it could’ve been helpful either
@@sophiatroanska1432 because they want to look nice and they want to fit in with their friends who may have interest in it. Just because you don't see value in looking 'nice' doesn't mean that other people don't. Especially as a disabled person who's already so left out and othered in every day life to have one thing that makes you feel more 'normal' can be incredibly beneficial
When she described the "Be my eyes" app full of volunteers to describe things to people with eyesight problems, I just thought wow. What a wonderful way to utilise smartphones to help people
we’re not asking for brands to put braille on everything, we just need little things to help us all out. update: i’ve come to the decision that this is actually really as simple as putting spanish or french on products and i would personally like to start a makeup company designed for both the sighted and the blind.
That makes sense. Throughout this video I was thinking about how maybe brands could give you a guide that has like indents representing things to tell you what each symbol means. And then the bottle has one of those symbols. Such as um. A floral scented conditioner. Easy, flower with a C. I’m not blind but it makes sense that little things like indents would make a big difference.
to be honest, I would be so down to include braille on everything! it would help to increase braille literacy and new ways for those without visual impairments to learn how to read, such as those with learning disabilities or those who are simply interested in learning the language!
I love the fact that Molly is no longer in titles of her colabs "a blind girl", "a blind TH-camr" etc. She's Molly Burke and to me that's how it's supposed to be.
This might sound weird but I love the title of this video. It doesn’t say blind person reviews makeup, it says Molly Burke reviews makeup accessibility so thank you to this channel
i noticed that as well! it's very similar to the "disabled person" vs "person with a disability" conversation-- i think it's so great that molly is still _molly_ and not "blind girl". i remember when she was first starting doing collabs on youtube and the titles were always "my blind friend" or "blind girl does [blah blah blah]" and she said she didnt mind, but i do think things like that can subconsciously put ideas in our minds. i loved seeing her name in the title.
@@strawbemmy actually a lot of people don't mind whether you use disability person vs person with disability, or prefer the first one. But yeah, it is nice that she is who she is
@@beatm6948 yes i know that :) i didnt say which side i agreed with, i was referencing the debate in general. im disabled myself and it felt like a fair analogy :)
We stan Molly Burke for openly challenging ableism, championing accessibility, and always, ALWAYS for being an excellent Canadian role model with impeccable personal style.
In what way is pointing out her Canadian heritage relevant? Canadians have impeccable style? Canadian heritage contributes to an enhanced likelihood a person exhibits traits recognized as "stylish" and their representation in an impeccably cultivated manner? Evidence please.
@@scottsjmc7063 Enough with your pseudointellectual bs. OP wasn't saying that Molly's style has anything to do with her nationality, they were merely acknowledging the fact that Molly is both Canadian and stylish, among other things. It's really not that deep, Scotty. Go touch some grass.
Scott Sjmc do you think your comment makes you look smart? because all it's telling me as a canadian is that you're a stereotypical snowflake who needs to get over himself. and it's not a heritage, it's a nationality. bonehead.
In the vidoe with James charles she complained about the shades in eyeshadow and James agreed with how makeup brands dont do that as often. And here is James charles pallet with colours all over the place 🙁
Totally understand that it seems hypocritical on James Charles part BUT I think it's important to know that he definitely didn't have full creative control over the palette. Especially bc it was just a partnership with Morphe, they retain a certain degree of "creative control" over the product, and it's likely that it wasn't even his choice to set up the palette like that.
@@annaclares3318 i know you're trying hard to defend him for some reason but it's got his name on it, lol. don't talk about how he doesn't realize that he's held responsible for the palettes he's involved with.
@@katcrum6046 yeah no it's a dupe of his pallete but his colors are laid out almost exactly the same, with the only difference being that his middle pans are bigger
Curious but why do you guys think that brands like Morphe wouldn't want to organize them? It cant take that much more time and would actually make it more pleasing
To me it's kinda easy 'cause I memorized where each product is at but also some shampoos face up whereas conditioners face down (idk how to explain it better lol)
Every packaging designer should watch this, this is a really valuable user perspective which simply doesn't get enough consideration - thank you Molly for explaining everything in such a clear and articulate way :)
Got the Be My Eyes app cause she mentioned it and I thought it’d be nice to try. I signed up as a volunteer and got my first call a couple minutes ago! It feels good to be able to help people! And it’s not even that hard of tasks! Like she mentioned, you can get asked how their makeup looks, the apps example was helping someone tell which clothing item is which, and I got a call simply asking what the name of the soap they were using was cause he didn’t like the scent. It’s relatively easy and you get the satisfaction of helping someone!
I reallyy appreciate you doing this❤️❤️ i’m visually impaired. May God bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!!❤️ He loves you! Lots of love and hugs❤️❤️
I’m blind in one eye and my friend is completely blind. For her birthday I put different amounts of rhinestones on her eyeshadow palette so she could differentiate the colors.
Just out of curiosity, can your friend “see” the rhinestones? You mention they’re completely blind so that makes me hesitant to ask this but I am genuinely just curious if they can see the light reflecting off the gem? Sorry it this comes off in any way that I didn’t intend!! Xx
Motivational/public speaking is one off her jobs if I remember correctly so it makes sense. And yea I agree! She is a very good speaker and enjoyable to listen to.
Accessibility is a complicated issue. For instance having different lengths of bristles on a mascara wand is helpful for a sighted person but not for a blind person. Conversely while scented products are great for non-sighted people they make the product inaccessible to people with allergies sighted or otherwise. It's why we need to push for more options but also acknowledge it's okay for a product not to be for everyone.
Maybe also a company creating products that are similar but keep that in mind, so like they make it obvious that they have a scented line but they also have a fragrance free line and that they have multiple mascaras ones with uniform bristles and ones with not. As it is company’s should try that because beauty has never been a one size fits all everyone has different needs and wants and stuff. So having a large range of products can help them be more accessible to a larger base of individuals
100% to the more options. I think the makeup industry is starting to get better at this with skin tones (ie certain niche brands for red heads, dark skin tones, Asian skin tones, etc) but more options would be the best since expecting one company to do it all is a lot.
I thought Molly's perspective on fragranced products was so interesting. I normally avoid them like the plague, but I'm glad to know they are useful to some! I wish having fragrance free options was standard though. Maybe the packaging could have a smell instead?
Exactly! TBH I think scented products are more of a barrier than a bridge. Like they are other ways she mentioned for blind or visually impaired people to use beauty products but making them scented also makes it less accessible to visually impaired folks who have allergies/mass well etc
As someone who isn’t anywhere near being blind but still has very bad eyesight the shampoo and conditioner bottles with the different markings is a great idea! It makes it easier in the shower when I can’t wear my glasses
Same girl same. I can't see in the shower unless I decided to wear contacts that day. So the shower is always 30x out of focus for me. Haha. Maybe not so much but you get it. I usually pick the bottle up and put it to my face if it was moved out of is usual spot. There's countless times where I mixed the up and have conditioner on my hand and I'm trying to decide whether I should let it rince down the drain or wipe it on the soap saver box because I was trying for shampoo
@@toothless3835 oh please don’t wear contacts in the shower, contacts are like a sponge, they will absorb anything that comes into contact with them, including bacteria and the water in the shower, and products, etc. I just learned this the other day
Yeah! I once asked a friend if she could try putting duct tape on her shower products so she could tell them apart without bringing her glasses or contacts in with her! If you can see color, then colored duct tape could be helpful but you could also definitely make tactile patterns with duct tape as well :0
I hope she got paid for this and for saying all those positive things about the brands she likes because that could translate in millions of revenue for those brands she mentioned
Maybe Maybelline payed her some too to show those products. I don't care though if she was sponsored to show certain products because it's her job and this video was very important because I have at least never really think about this, so I'm sure many brands don't either, so she's showing that blind people are customers and important too.
it's fascinating how a lot of people hate products that have tacky packaging design or have scents but those are actually helpful for people hard of seeing. this video has given us so much perspective. 🤯
The “tacky” packaging is one thing but it is not people “disliking” scented products.... they can be very dangerous for those with mast cell activation syndrome, allergies, asthma, headaches, seizures, autism, adhd
Scents can be really bad for people as well tho, same with certain textures. There are people with sensory processing issues, allergies or migraines, which would make products with scents or certain textures impossible to use for them. There's no universally accesible packaging or products sadly, there can only be products that are easier to use for certain people. However, talking about these things really helps people understand that there are many people with conflicting needs, meaning there's a reason why any sort of product would be considered accesible
@@elizabethb1096 scents are dangerous to ppl with ADHD? Yeah no. Scents aren’t dangerous, they exist literally everywhere. And yes scents will help blind people differentiate but apparently every single aspect of everything is problematic and harmful and ableist
@@jboww2121 um I meant dangerous for people with asthma, mast cell (because it can be fatal) and with adhd I just mean more like harmful bc it can be a sensory distraction
Something I noticed when living in a country where I couldn't read any labels: In a lot of the world, shampoo bottles stand upright, conditioner bottles are made to stand upside down. Never realized it before but honestly that such a nice subtle design element, I really love it. And it makes things accessible to everyone in the shower without glasses aswell.
it's actually done that way because it's more practical. conditioner is thicker than shampoo and can be harder to get out of the bottle, so if the bottle is upside-down then it's a simple squeeze
Reminds me of Link on GMM... 🎶 Put the shampoo-poo on the right, and you'll be be be alright! Put the conditioner-ner on the left, and your head will be so blessed. Poo-poo on the right, ner-ner on the left, you'll be alright, your head will be blessed, YEAAHHHH! 🎶 Lemme know if you got that reference.
I hate the disorganised colours, even as a seeing individual. It looks so stupid. Edit: If you are confused by the replies: yes I am still anti-veganism. My username changed, but if you're wondering why so many vegans are offended in the comments, it's because I had a username called "Ethical Vegan't" and they couldn't deal with someone not liking the ideology of veganism. That's about it.
me too! Sometimes I remove all the pans and rearrange them and glue them back into the palette in a way that makes sense. but then if the names are printed on the dividers they no longer make sense.
@@patrickmc4529 When palettes have 20 or more colors and they are all scattered randomly, I sometimes think they do that to hide the fact they have near-duplicate colors. If all the browns were next to eachother that would be more obvious, so instead they jumble the colors so you can't compare them as easily.
@@SheWhoWalksSilently omg yesss. I’m a visual artist and having a graphite pencil roll and drop on the ground....ugh breaks my heart. Nothing is worse than trying to sharpen a pencil amd the led keeps falling out haha
generally i think the longer side is supposted to make them longer and more defined while the shorter side adds volume. obviously depends on the product but thats what ive figured out
I’m not 100% sure if this is the intended use but I have a connective tissue disorder so I like using the curved mascara wands so that I can swipe fewer times - since one side is already the shape of your eyelashes - which has significantly decreased the number of times my shoulders have dislocated while doing my makeup!
I’m only going to say this because Molly likes blind jokes. This video is extremely eye opening!! In all seriousness, as a sighted person this is something I never think about but it’s super important! I hope a lot of brands watch this and take notes.
@@sophie_jordan stfu tbh. High and mighty on a TH-cam comment for no reason. If you aren't gonna explain your side, than don't be insulting in a passive aggressive way. That doesn't make you mature, the need to comment at all makes you petty, actually.
For all my blind makeup-loving friends, and even sighted friends, there's a channel here on youtube called Jen Luv. She does a lot of makeup product reviews where she describes the palette in a lot of detail like what colours are in it, where they are, how to open the packaging, what the palette itself looks like, size of pans, etc. She also does all the typical review style things too of course like swatch testing, applying a look, wear testing, describing how it feels and sits on the skin, etc. I cannot recommend her enough. She also does extensive research into ingredients in the products and does a breakdown of that ingredient list, what's good, what's not so great, and all the warnings for any ingredients that could cause a reaction or sensitivity. Super sweet woman and I would highly recommend watching her content!
I'm not blind but I do have very bad vision, and I felt the "round packaging rolling away" on a spiritual level. I can't tell you how often I'm stuck scouring my bathroom floor searching for whatever escaped me like Velma searching for her glasses.
I'm not visually impaired but I suck at putting stuff away in an organized way so I prefer the more square ones cause if I put them away in a bad spot I don't have to worry about it going and rolling away
tip for molly: it may be easier for her to curl her hair with a straightener since, as she said, the plates are covered in plastic and won‘t be exposed to her hands ♥️
I can see but that's exactly why I used flat irons to curl when I had longer hair. I burned myself all the time with regular curler irons before. Oh and maybe heated rollers! I liked those too because I felt I could move quicker without worrying about burning myself and my hair could set while.inwws doing my makeup and getting dressed.
I’m a sighted person and I can’t even curl my hair with a curling iron lol I always end up burning myself. Flat irons are the way to go for me, but it also took me a lot of practice so I imagine that Molly or any blind person would also have to spend some time learning exactly how to do it
Heat rollers you have just as much of a chance to hurt yourself. And many over the years have been discontinued because of the material when hot can be toxic or they break Dow really easily. On top of that they are time consuming and uncomfortable.
i'm sighted and maybe wear makeup once a year at most but colour palettes that have no organization logic still bother me so hard, not only it's visually very unpleasing but if there's different shades that are close, putting them at opposite ends of the palette makes them look the same so how does anyone know which to pick
I've been a graphic designer for 10 + years and no one has ever mentioned inclusive design to me before. I am so happy I came across this video. I will be more mindful of my designs in the future
Love that the emphasis in this video is that accessibility for blind folks can often enhance visual design as well. It goes hand in hand. Maybelline lipstick package textures and Too Face putting drops on this waterproof mascara, both genius simple moves. Great video!
I’m not disabled but I’m chronically ill and when I was gifted a Dyson I was so I pressed by how accessible it is! The attachments also snap on and off easily, But it’s really expensive, which is usually the case with accessible products unfortunately.
@@EclecticallyEccentric yeah, *some* disabled people aren't poor, but most are. and most of the devices we need to make our lives more accessible are prohibitively expensive. so price is a relevant barrier to to conversation of accessible products and services.
I don’t get why make up companies don’t put the colors in the pallet in rainbow order in the first place it’s so much more organized and aesthetically pleasing
This is so cool, especially the scent part. A lot of youtubers I watch don't like added fragrance, but this gave me a whole new perspective that scents can actually be a helpful tactile indicator of what products you're using!
I love the idea of scents in makeup but I can't use them personally because I have severe fragrance allergies. So although it's great for the blind, having fragrance in a product might ended up making others unable to use it.
Yea I agree but the idea is universal products and adding fragrance would make products unusable to a large group of people with sensitive skin or allergies to fragrance
Also fragrance in general is an irritant to the skin and should generally be avoided in things you put on your face. Mostly because the skin on the face is really sensitive. So plz be careful!
I think it’d be really fun (and kinda hilarious, in a good way) if a makeup line did a scratch n sniff type packaging- then the fragrance isn’t directly in the product going on the face, but you can still smell which product it is!
I feel kinda ashamed of never thinking how blind people use simple things. Thanks Allure and especially many thanks to Molly for raising awareness on that matter. Ableism is an important matter which is often overlooked and not talked about and also is often so inexplicably used by many brands and persons, because of not thinking outside of their own realm. Again, thank you!
As a legally blind person I really appreciate that Molly was given this platform. Accessibility is a lot harder to come by in beauty products than you’d think, most often, I have to adapt a product myself with the help of sighted person (which I hate, no offense sighties but y’all be condescending sometimes) and put a ridiculous amount of effort to organise my collection to an extent you wouldn’t guess.
Popcorn i personally wrote this using the Zoom feature on my phone to see what I was writing and by knowing my keyboard. Visually impaired people also use a screenreader, it’s a feature that most modern devices have, it basically reads out loud whatever is on the screen. If I were on my laptop, I would be using that!
I can’t fully understand what it’s like to have to navigate the world without vision, but watching things like this help me to understand better. If I ever design a makeup line or skincare line, I’ll be sure to find the best way to make the products easily identifiable for anyone
If you want to learn more you should check out he channel. She does a lot of videos like this. Plus just normal every day vlogs. Most times I forget shes even blind.
I never understood how difficult this could be for people with sight difficulties.. this video really changed the way how i look at products.. thanks so much for the information!! I’m really glad to learn and understand this😊
If you want to learn more you can always watch her channel. She does a lot of informative videos as well as just normal stuff. It's really nice cause sometimes you watch and forget shes even blind. It really shows that although "disabled" when things are accessible shes not disabled.
@@fidelianerina can 100% agree and confirm. I'll watch a few videos of hers in a row and will completely forget until she mentions it or it is the topic of the video. She has a lot if great content and its super informative as well as fun to watch.
Her channel is really informative and just straight-up fun. There’s also a blind youtuber named Tommy Edison, although since he’s far older than Molly, his content style is different but still tackles informative topics. Also his sense of humour.
i still cant get over that america doesn't have anything tactile on their money. idk when my country put it on but at least 15 years I would say. in America there's no way for a blind person to know (unless they buy a reader) if someone if giving them a 50 or a 1
Also, the colors are identical as well, which means they have missed the chance to help legally blind people who see color. My sight is pretty decent but even I would be annoyed by paper money that lacks variety in so many ways
I am not blind, but I'm unable to see well in the shower so it would be nice if there was a tactile marker on the shampoo and conditioner bottles when they feel exactly the same otherwise. Accessible products and design often benefit everyone.
Yes! When I take my glasses off I'm basically fumbling around, choosing products based on shape. I also can't stand razors that have too much of that gel stuff. It coats the legs in a smoothing substance so I can't feel if there's any stumbles left behind without washing my leg... Looking at you Billie (razor brand)
I also have many vision issues, what she said about eyeshadow palettes is so true. I am almost completely colorblind and can’t differentiate color very well. Another option for makeup brands is to have names in the colors that actually match the color or shade. (The worst for me was realizing that cola in the James Charles palette was not brown) this and many of the things she said will not only help the blind but those what struggle with color vision and progressive vision loss
Ikr, you would think cola would either be red or brown (considering I usually think of coca cola when I hear the word cola), but he made it blue for some reason...
15:11 when she says “look at that” but can’t actually see it I think is so cute because her tone is excited and she can feel the curl tactically but saying look at that is to us who are able to see it. Idk I thought it was cute. Also can we talk about how amazing she explains everything I don’t have problems with my vision but I was cleaning around my room with this playing and I can really visualize everything she had. I assume that comes in the realm of losing one of your senses is to use your other ones and be able to describe it so well. Honestly she should consider public speaking to other brands to help them be more accessible because she explains it so well
Stuff related to looking and seeing is just part of our vernacular, so it's natural for a blind person to say "look at that" or "see you later" even if they can't see.
In my eyeshadow palettes, there is always a piece of thin plastic on top, with the names of the colours. I’m not colourblind so I just throw that piece out. But it’s really useful for colourblind people.
I’m pretty sure all sighted people would appreciate packaging that isn’t so hard to find the opening for, too! That product with the hinge that seemed like the opening would definitely screw me up fairly often and I’m sighted.
I have one that is like that for o-ending but it cleverly has a little arrow pointing towards the opening with the brand name just above. This isn’t good if u have poor eyesight or are blind x but if they had an embossed arrow pointing to the opening that might be a thought too?
@@sano8172 It kinda is, when you have 20 lipsticks of the same brand (because EVERY other brand dires out your EXTRADRY lips and they all (in closed state) are indistinguishable, bc said company puts every lipstick in the very same container. I could tell the container is of color X, but that is it.
@@mediagirl initially i agreed with you, but at the same time, Molly would have to get another person to tell her which one was which, because at least once you've opened them you know. So yeah, equally unhelpful when you're trying to select a certain one, but overall more unhelpful for a visually impaired person because even once it's opened they can't tell.
@@danh4698 i think this is good example on how uninclusive products can also make things more difficult even for abled people but even worse for the disabled
each of the toofaced food scented products has a little bit of cocoa in them, if im correct, and I can confirm the peach tastes peachy and the chocolate tastes chocolatey lol
This is really interesting to watch. Also I love how Molly is friends with James Charles yet still not afraid to say that it’s hard and that she wouldn’t reach for his pallet.
That’s a palette by Wet N Wild made to look like James’ palette. His has the larger circles in the middle to distinguish the pans better and his also has a glossy font on the top to help.
@@outoftheklosset she said it was inspiring for someone who has a disability can make a change for themselves and learn how to deal with it. She or he didn't mean to offend anyone.
It’s crazy to think that she can’t see herself but she still looks amazing when she does stuff by herself but then I wake up and get ready and look like crap. Get it girlllll!
I paused halfway through the video to sign up as a volunteer for Be My Eyes. It is such a cool idea!!! If I can help even one person it will be worth it 😊
I’m really glad accessibility is being addressed. I’m a disabled girl, and as you go through life, you realize how designed for abled people life truly is.
I feel like they expect all blind people to have dull or lifeless eyes, or to just never open them at all, or maybe to never be able to look directly into the camera. Idk only thing I could think of.
@@happyperson7663 They usually say because she makes eye contact with the camera. She’s said a zillion times that she puts the camera in the middle of a ring light so she knows where to look.
I'm an interior design major and most of what Molly talks about in terms of universal design is a topic one of my professors also discusses regularly. Even with that, her insight gives me as a deign major so much more to consider for projects.
As a blind graphic designer, I have been advocating for brands and companies to implement techniques like these in packaging and branding. Thank you Molly for always using your platform to motivate sighted people to engineer for easy accessibility.
As an industrial designer, hearing all those things she mentions are things I'll try to keep in my mind when I am designing, because is so important to think about all needs
I've heard a lot of beauty youtubers talk about how Too Faced like does too much with the products packaging with out the actual eyeshadows being that amazing but, I've never heard praise over how tactilely accessable they are. Good to know!
For an eye shadow palette: How about 12 shades in a row system and having embroided colour and pigmentation names such as red, orange and yellow on one side and dark, medium, fair and light on the other so that you can mathematically figure out which shade is what exact colour. This would not only help blind but also colour-blind people to pick the right colour.
If a blind woman can put makeup on successfully and look gorgeous then I (a seeing person) have exactly zero excuses. Molly, you are awesome and I admire you.
I’m a designer and I absolutely love universal design! This is the first time I’ve ever heard it mentioned on a major channel or in popular media. Not even many design schools teach about it, unfortunately. Thanks for raising awareness and explaining what you think about these specific products in an accessible way.
For fake eyelashes: maybe you could try using the magnetic lashes that stick to the eyeliner. I think some brands have clear liner, so imperfect lines wouldn’t matter.
As a sighted person, those are very fiddly and tedious and hard to use, so I can’t imagine they’d be very good for the visually impaired or blind unfortunately :(
makeup-loving engineer here taking notes on universal design like crazy!!! thank you for teaching us how disabled people experience the world and how we, as designers, can help make it better for you!!!
Love that you mentioned that Dyson air wrap, I am a quadriplegic with very limited hand function and got one for myself after seeing the air wrap technology essentially curl the hair itself. I've never been able to style my own hair since this injury and this tool allows me actually do it myself! It does take some getting used to but once you do it's amazing!!
I LOVE hearing about universal design and accessibility. As a sighted and hearing person I obviously don't run into these limitations in my own personal life, so I appreciate being made aware of them.
I'm wondering if he is blind to a slightly lesser degree, and may be one of the individuals she mentioned who can see some colour which is why he maybe helps her. I don't know that as fact, I don't think they've mentioned it but I haven't watched many of their newer ones where she introduces him and does things with him so I don't know how much they've mentioned about his diagnosis.
There is a curling iron that has a plastic guard and the guard has slots that you wind the hair in. You just find the clip at the end of the barrel and clip the hair in and then turn the barrel and the hair automatically winds up the barrel in the slots . I am positive I could do it with my eyes shut because I don't need gloves with it and I have done it without a mirror so I really think someone blind could use it. Also, my ten year old daughter uses it and I don't ever have to worry about her burning herself with it because she just can't because the design doesn't allow it . I think it is by Remington.

As a blind girl, I would love if shampoos/conditioners/soaps etc HACE tactile differentiators. And let’s start putting Braille on beauty products, it would be great for people like me, and honestly cool for people who have never seen it before as well as spreading awareness. Oh also don’t even get me started on liquid eyeliner, that is a big nono for me
*honestly, Molly educated me a lot today, I was pretty ignorant on the accessibility for disabled people and she just gave me a insight on how important it is to have universally accesible products*
When Molly spoke abt the dots on the back of the shampoos and conditioner bottles, it made me think of the ones I have upstairs. I have herbal essence bio renew, which smell amazing, and at the bottom r the dots which r braille to differentiate between shampoo and conditioner
“It probably tastes like Peach too. I dunno, I don’t eat my makeup.” This made me laugh out loud! I’m glad you got a chance to share your voice. Even if it’s not the opinion of all blind people, it still helps companies be able to make their products accessible to impaired people! 🙂

I ❤️ your channel
I truly enjoyed this video so much!
Hi Molly! It’s been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos - too long! I’ll have to check your channel again soon. I enjoy all your hair colours, but I have to say that the current blonde shade is stunning! Such a buttery soft colour. Thanks for another great video
those herbal essences bottles really show that even these minimalist brands don’t have an excuse because they could be labeling their bottles in a very subtle way that sighted people probably wouldn’t even notice.
This is an example of the social model
of disability. Something that starts out for disabled ppl can also be good for able-bodied ppl.
i appreciate an accessible product
Yep. It is even possible to incorporate braille or tactical design into a minimalistic design and still have it stay minimalistic.
Yes!!!
right! I didn't even kno they did that
It’s crazy to think about how many beauty youtubers have collabed with Molly yet havent taken any of this info into consideration with their makeup lines
points were made
Omg yes I never though of this! It’s actually pretty sad....
Right light after Shane pretending to be blind and joked about it with his friends and walking canes, I really thought he was gonna make his pallet accessible
I will say, on James’ palette the top of his had the glossy font which can be a indicator. It also has the larger pans in the middle so that helps differentiate between the pans a bit. The disorganized color though...
I think about this a lot
I sent this video to my former design professor, to show in class. Every design student should see this.
That's awesome.
Where I attend, you get kind of a 50/50 on if professors care about accessibility or not. Some of them never bring it up, others will dock you points if you don't consider accessibility in your designs. I've been doing my best to really consider any accessibility issues when I am creating a design. Videos like this are very inspiring and bring up new issues I never would have thought of otherwise!
Thank you for helping out, floaty potato lol
Especially if you do user experience design.
I feel really overwhelmed and proud that there are so many product/ experience designers here.
as a graphic designer, i wish there was a class on accessibility design. because believe it or not, in my 5 years of uni, i've never had any lessons about such a topic.
I took a graphic design class in college and I remember we had to make a bank notes and I was thinking it might be hard for a blind person to tell the difference between a twenty US dollar bill and a one US dollar bill so I made the $100 the regular sized and decreased the bills by a few centimeters and the professor looked at me like why would I do such a thing like. Blind people don’t go out to buy things and I was like... okay I mean the project was to make our own type of bank notes and have any type of design to it... but I think accessibility design would be a great class!
@@gabbya7394 that's actually why the euro notes are all different sizes, it's crazy that the us hasn't thought about that yet
@@gabbya7394 that professor is an idiot. Blind people aren't children, of course they go out to buy things.
Absolutely agree! Industrial designer here. I don't recall any classes specifically on this subject as well, while I think it should be a class in the very first year so you can take it with you.
@@gabbya7394 Ok well 1) that professor is such an idiot and 2) its interesting that you use money as an example for accessibility because Australia recently redesigned the notes, and added raised dots to each of them so blind people can tell which is which eg $5 notes have 1 bump, $10 have 2 etc
As a graphic designer this gives me so much to think about!
looking forward to more intelligent designs
Same im a student in university for graphic design and I wish we had an accessible design class. I'm still trying to learn everything I can through Molly and other people!
Same I'm a student, I love that that we can create a world that is more inclusive.

(Advertising and product design) me taking notes.
Even as a fully able person, I freaking hate palettes that don't organize their colors. And that's literally like 90% of palettes
I always found it so hard to create a look on the initial look of it because the color story is random it’s so annoying because it’s so easy to fix. But I’ve found that taking the pans out and putting them in a z palette and organize the colors myself plus most palettes are frickin gigantic
@@Sdirtttymop that does sound like a good idea, unfortunately not all palettes are detachable :(
I still try to open the wrong sides of round compacts haha. They're just a terrible design.
I don't wear makeup but I would have thought when making a pallet the first thing companies would do is organise the colours.
Take Me Back To Brazil eyeshadow I think is organized by rainbow so red orange yellow etc.
Moral of the story: good design directly correlates to accessibility
That's literally the best design class I've had in while and I'm in college!
And beginners in makeup
Good design considers everything
Always
Usability and accessibility are the core tenets of design

The Herbal Essences bottle shows that even affordable, drugstore brands can differentiate. There is no excuse for any brands to not make all their products accessible.
Wait herbal essences is a drugstore brand?
@@doflya129 Yes!
I'd argue it's much easier for those brands to do it.
@@Nomarcaper wow it’s actually a known and respectful brand here so it being drugstore is weird since it’s kinda expensive as well
@@doflya129 honestly herbal essences is the only brand of shampoo/conditioner i can use because their ingredients don't irritate my skin. I'd consider them pretty high quality too
Universal design is one of the first concepts we learn for architecture and interior design and is a MUST, especially for public places. However, now that my eye is attuned to look for it, I notice how little universal design transfers into product design, where it's often needed more.
Universal design is SO COOL!
universal design stopped being a must during the postmodern era tho (at least for graphic design). It's more about a combination between functionality and adaptability to different social groups and kinds of clients. The "one product for all" concept died out after modernism because its nearly impossible to achieve unless you assume everybody has the same sociocultural background. Its a complex topic when applying this to accessibility for disabled people, which i think is important. Universal design was functional in communication but it dried out on creativity and everything felt sort of dull, now you have to find a balance, but the MUST at the end of the day is stil funcionality, not universalism since that will always inevitably exclude someone
I'm working on my industrial/product design degree, I'm definitely going to keep this video in mind :)
Plenty of products on the market to sub in that are designed for specific disabilities 🤷🏻♀️
@@mag9797 I don't think universal design was ever largely applied in graphic design. I did a whole project on it (at universalgraphicdesign.com) and I really had to dig for content. That said, even if you don't care about people or think "well, I'll always leave someone out anyway," it's still worth aiming for, even for selfish reasons. The less that people need to use aids to use your product, the more they're interacting with it the way that you designed it. Architecture is a really easy place to point this out - e.g., why muck up your architectural design with a chair lift when you can just use a ramp. On websites, the less people need to magnify or run it through filters, the less they'll 'ruin' how you've laid out the site.
I feel so uneducated for never thinking about this. Some brands really do put a lot of effort and thought into accessibility to the product design especially herbal essence.
Hey it’s okay! I’m legally blind and I hadn’t thought about a few of these things like the shampoo bottles and the texture on the mascara.
This is outstandingly educational. I was ignorant to the fact that blind people like using beauty products and it never crossed my mind how packaging needs to be accessible. Also, one thing I noticed in the video is that not everything has to be expensive to be functional. That mascara is probably the cheapest mascara but never did I think its design was good for those who can't see.
Totally 100% with you here! I feel a little silly that I got caught up in my privilege to even think about these accessibility roadblocks. Good on Allure for this!
Same. Beauty products are connected to being visually stimulating, so I’m confused as to why a blind person would put value on something they can’t themselves access. i. e. enjoy the fruit of their labor/ see how they look.
I am sighted but as a kid, I always found it confusing as to why people threw colors on their faces. Now I understand it’s due to insecurity or a love for art.
But why would a blind person value vanity?
The mascara is most def not the cheapest, but it’s super popular so it’s good that it’s packaging is well done. I had no idea that it could’ve been helpful either
@@sophiatroanska1432 because they want to look nice and they want to fit in with their friends who may have interest in it.
Just because you don't see value in looking 'nice' doesn't mean that other people don't.
Especially as a disabled person who's already so left out and othered in every day life to have one thing that makes you feel more 'normal' can be incredibly beneficial
@@sophiatroanska1432 She answers your question in this video (and in some of her other videos): th-cam.com/video/59G8R_PJHRc/w-d-xo.html
When she described the "Be my eyes" app full of volunteers to describe things to people with eyesight problems, I just thought wow. What a wonderful way to utilise smartphones to help people
I used to have the app and it was really fun. I was happy that I was able to help others. Fully suggest downloading
I am one of those volunteers
Anyone can download and sign up to be a volunteer! Great way to help out with what u can 💕
I’m signing up as volunteer after this!
I had that app but I never got a call so I just let it go 😕
we’re not asking for brands to put braille on everything, we just need little things to help us all out.
update: i’ve come to the decision that this is actually really as simple as putting spanish or french on products and i would personally like to start a makeup company designed for both the sighted and the blind.
That makes sense. Throughout this video I was thinking about how maybe brands could give you a guide that has like indents representing things to tell you what each symbol means. And then the bottle has one of those symbols. Such as um. A floral scented conditioner. Easy, flower with a C. I’m not blind but it makes sense that little things like indents would make a big difference.
to be honest, I would be so down to include braille on everything! it would help to increase braille literacy and new ways for those without visual impairments to learn how to read, such as those with learning disabilities or those who are simply interested in learning the language!
@@mackenzie_ish i totally agree! it would help to normalise blind culture for sure :)
braille really isnt bothering, it should be on everything
@@tetsusumu it should
An eyeshadow palette with braille on it would be such a cool design.
Yeah, but the chance of you rubbing your fingers in a shadow while trying to read it is really high. Maybe if it was individual pots.
Or just in the back so you know the order if that makes sense.

@@Inamichan yes!! That’s a fantastic idea

In the vidoe with James charles she complained about the shades in eyeshadow and James agreed with how makeup brands dont do that as often. And here is James charles pallet with colours all over the place 🙁
Totally understand that it seems hypocritical on James Charles part BUT I think it's important to know that he definitely didn't have full creative control over the palette. Especially bc it was just a partnership with Morphe, they retain a certain degree of "creative control" over the product, and it's likely that it wasn't even his choice to set up the palette like that.
@@annaclares3318 i know you're trying hard to defend him for some reason but it's got his name on it, lol. don't talk about how he doesn't realize that he's held responsible for the palettes he's involved with.
This isn't the james charles palette either. The jc palette has neutrals in the middle and wearable colors on top, with fun ones on the bottom.
@@katcrum6046 yeah no it's a dupe of his pallete but his colors are laid out almost exactly the same, with the only difference being that his middle pans are bigger
Curious but why do you guys think that brands like Morphe wouldn't want to organize them? It cant take that much more time and would actually make it more pleasing
i like how she says it's hard to differentiate between shampoo/conditioner. i'm sighted and i still have trouble if i dont read closely
honey b omg same😳
To me it's kinda easy 'cause I memorized where each product is at but also some shampoos face up whereas conditioners face down (idk how to explain it better lol)

The
Got the Be My Eyes app cause she mentioned it and I thought it’d be nice to try. I signed up as a volunteer and got my first call a couple minutes ago! It feels good to be able to help people! And it’s not even that hard of tasks! Like she mentioned, you can get asked how their makeup looks, the apps example was helping someone tell which clothing item is which, and I got a call simply asking what the name of the soap they were using was cause he didn’t like the scent. It’s relatively easy and you get the satisfaction of helping someone!
I (I’m blind) thank you very much for helping out x

That’s so hecking wholesome
Just out of curiosity, can your friend “see” the rhinestones? You mention they’re completely blind so that makes me hesitant to ask this but I am genuinely just curious if they can see the light reflecting off the gem? Sorry it this comes off in any way that I didn’t intend!! Xx
@@maddinauss6474 i think the stones are meant to be felt using their fingers :)

Motivational/public speaking is one off her jobs if I remember correctly so it makes sense. And yea I agree! She is a very good speaker and enjoyable to listen to.
Molly's been doing public speaking since she was 5 I think, she talks about it on her channel in one of her earlier videos 😊
I completely agree! 🤩
Years of practice. She's been doing motivational speaking for a very long time.
Accessibility is a complicated issue. For instance having different lengths of bristles on a mascara wand is helpful for a sighted person but not for a blind person. Conversely while scented products are great for non-sighted people they make the product inaccessible to people with allergies sighted or otherwise. It's why we need to push for more options but also acknowledge it's okay for a product not to be for everyone.
Maybe also a company creating products that are similar but keep that in mind, so like they make it obvious that they have a scented line but they also have a fragrance free line and that they have multiple mascaras ones with uniform bristles and ones with not. As it is company’s should try that because beauty has never been a one size fits all everyone has different needs and wants and stuff. So having a large range of products can help them be more accessible to a larger base of individuals
100% to the more options. I think the makeup industry is starting to get better at this with skin tones (ie certain niche brands for red heads, dark skin tones, Asian skin tones, etc) but more options would be the best since expecting one company to do it all is a lot.
I thought Molly's perspective on fragranced products was so interesting. I normally avoid them like the plague, but I'm glad to know they are useful to some! I wish having fragrance free options was standard though. Maybe the packaging could have a smell instead?
Exactly! TBH I think scented products are more of a barrier than a bridge. Like they are other ways she mentioned for blind or visually impaired people to use beauty products but making them scented also makes it less accessible to visually impaired folks who have allergies/mass well etc
@@elizabethb1096 I think you missed the point.
As someone who isn’t anywhere near being blind but still has very bad eyesight the shampoo and conditioner bottles with the different markings is a great idea! It makes it easier in the shower when I can’t wear my glasses
Same girl same. I can't see in the shower unless I decided to wear contacts that day. So the shower is always 30x out of focus for me. Haha. Maybe not so much but you get it. I usually pick the bottle up and put it to my face if it was moved out of is usual spot.
There's countless times where I mixed the up and have conditioner on my hand and I'm trying to decide whether I should let it rince down the drain or wipe it on the soap saver box because I was trying for shampoo
True! I’m also very impaired without my glasses.
These designs also would help colour blind people :)
@@toothless3835 oh please don’t wear contacts in the shower, contacts are like a sponge, they will absorb anything that comes into contact with them, including bacteria and the water in the shower, and products, etc. I just learned this the other day
Yeah! I once asked a friend if she could try putting duct tape on her shower products so she could tell them apart without bringing her glasses or contacts in with her!
If you can see color, then colored duct tape could be helpful but you could also definitely make tactile patterns with duct tape as well :0
My dad often uses the wrong products in the bath as he’s -13 in prescription glasses. Luckily I’m only -7!

I'm sure she was sponsored to some degree lol
She is so an ambassador for herbal essence
She thanked Allure in her pinned comment
Maybe Maybelline payed her some too to show those products. I don't care though if she was sponsored to show certain products because it's her job and this video was very important because I have at least never really think about this, so I'm sure many brands don't either, so she's showing that blind people are customers and important too.
you make a good point and everything but i'm just amazed someone can misspell brand two different ways in the same sentence
it's fascinating how a lot of people hate products that have tacky packaging design or have scents but those are actually helpful for people hard of seeing. this video has given us so much perspective. 🤯
The “tacky” packaging is one thing but it is not people “disliking” scented products.... they can be very dangerous for those with mast cell activation syndrome, allergies, asthma, headaches, seizures, autism, adhd
Scents can be really bad for people as well tho, same with certain textures. There are people with sensory processing issues, allergies or migraines, which would make products with scents or certain textures impossible to use for them. There's no universally accesible packaging or products sadly, there can only be products that are easier to use for certain people. However, talking about these things really helps people understand that there are many people with conflicting needs, meaning there's a reason why any sort of product would be considered accesible
@@elizabethb1096 scents are dangerous to ppl with ADHD? Yeah no. Scents aren’t dangerous, they exist literally everywhere. And yes scents will help blind people differentiate but apparently every single aspect of everything is problematic and harmful and ableist

Something I noticed when living in a country where I couldn't read any labels: In a lot of the world, shampoo bottles stand upright, conditioner bottles are made to stand upside down. Never realized it before but honestly that such a nice subtle design element, I really love it. And it makes things accessible to everyone in the shower without glasses aswell.
it's actually done that way because it's more practical. conditioner is thicker than shampoo and can be harder to get out of the bottle, so if the bottle is upside-down then it's a simple squeeze
That can depend on the brand
i noticed that
Reminds me of Link on GMM...
🎶 Put the shampoo-poo on the right, and you'll be be be alright! Put the conditioner-ner on the left, and your head will be so blessed. Poo-poo on the right, ner-ner on the left, you'll be alright, your head will be blessed, YEAAHHHH! 🎶

Edit: If you are confused by the replies: yes I am still anti-veganism.

@@patrickmc4529 When palettes have 20 or more colors and they are all scattered randomly, I sometimes think they do that to hide the fact they have near-duplicate colors.

For all my blind makeup-loving friends, and even sighted friends, there's a channel here on youtube called Jen Luv. She does a lot of makeup product reviews where she describes the palette in a lot of detail like what colours are in it, where they are, how to open the packaging, what the palette itself looks like, size of pans, etc. She also does all the typical review style things too of course like swatch testing, applying a look, wear testing, describing how it feels and sits on the skin, etc. I cannot recommend her enough. She also does extensive research into ingredients in the products and does a breakdown of that ingredient list, what's good, what's not so great, and all the warnings for any ingredients that could cause a reaction or sensitivity. Super sweet woman and I would highly recommend watching her content!
This is so cool
Jen has always made really great accessible content. She is great at describing things for sure!
You convinced me
@@Bobatea6855 Many blind people have the text-to-speech feature turned on, so their devices read whatever they click on out loud.
@@Bobatea6855 Blind people have text to speech? You don't need to see to be able to use and interact with social media, specifically comments.
I'm not blind but I do have very bad vision, and I felt the "round packaging rolling away" on a spiritual level. I can't tell you how often I'm stuck scouring my bathroom floor searching for whatever escaped me like Velma searching for her glasses.
I'm not visually impaired but I suck at putting stuff away in an organized way so I prefer the more square ones cause if I put them away in a bad spot I don't have to worry about it going and rolling away
tip for molly: it may be easier for her to curl her hair with a straightener since, as she said, the plates are covered in plastic and won‘t be exposed to her hands ♥️
I can see but that's exactly why I used flat irons to curl when I had longer hair. I burned myself all the time with regular curler irons before.
Oh and maybe heated rollers! I liked those too because I felt I could move quicker without worrying about burning myself and my hair could set while.inwws doing my makeup and getting dressed.
@@laddibugg I was thinking about rollers too. I'm surprised she didnt mention them.
@@carochan86 and I didn't need a mirror! So her fingers could still be her eyes 😃
I’m a sighted person and I can’t even curl my hair with a curling iron lol I always end up burning myself. Flat irons are the way to go for me, but it also took me a lot of practice so I imagine that Molly or any blind person would also have to spend some time learning exactly how to do it
Heat rollers you have just as much of a chance to hurt yourself. And many over the years have been discontinued because of the material when hot can be toxic or they break Dow really easily. On top of that they are time consuming and uncomfortable.
As a sighted person I don’t like palettes where there is no uniformity with the colors. Especially when shimmers & mattes aren’t separated
I very much agree. I prefer the colors, as well as mattes and shimmers sorted and separated, instead of all blended and mixed together.
i'm sighted and maybe wear makeup once a year at most but colour palettes that have no organization logic still bother me so hard, not only it's visually very unpleasing but if there's different shades that are close, putting them at opposite ends of the palette makes them look the same so how does anyone know which to pick
I know you had an opportunity to make the pallet look good and be helpful to people who are blind and you threw away that opportunity Bad on you
I think we all agree. It's not so hard to put them in order, is it?
@@asunflower7993 bad on who? Molly??
I've been a graphic designer for 10 + years and no one has ever mentioned inclusive design to me before. I am so happy I came across this video. I will be more mindful of my designs in the future
Love that the emphasis in this video is that accessibility for blind folks can often enhance visual design as well. It goes hand in hand. Maybelline lipstick package textures and Too Face putting drops on this waterproof mascara, both genius simple moves. Great video!
I'm not huge into makeup, but I thought that waterproof mascara looked so nice! Glad to know it can help out visually and textually .
She should design her own accessible eye shadow palette/ makeup line
That would be so cool!
Omg yes!
The number of people who are blind and also want to wear makeup which they can't see is a tiny market. Doesn't make much business sense.
@@mallorymyers7525 okay, and? people who aren't blind could buy it too, people like me who can barely see anything without my glasses would benefit
@@mallorymyers7525 just because it is accessible doesn't mean that people who can see can't use it
That would be amazing!
I’m not disabled but I’m chronically ill and when I was gifted a Dyson I was so I pressed by how accessible it is! The attachments also snap on and off easily, But it’s really expensive, which is usually the case with accessible products unfortunately.
Dyson is generally an expensive brand, though…
@@EclecticallyEccentric yeah, *some* disabled people aren't poor, but most are. and most of the devices we need to make our lives more accessible are prohibitively expensive. so price is a relevant barrier to to conversation of accessible products and services.
@@EclecticallyEccentric its not ... accessible by definition
@@EclecticallyEccentric not on a limited income until those medical bills start rolling in
@@58209 You're right, I apologize for my ignorance.
I don’t get why make up companies don’t put the colors in the pallet in rainbow order in the first place it’s so much more organized and aesthetically pleasing
This is so cool, especially the scent part. A lot of youtubers I watch don't like added fragrance, but this gave me a whole new perspective that scents can actually be a helpful tactile indicator of what products you're using!
I love the idea of scents in makeup but I can't use them personally because I have severe fragrance allergies. So although it's great for the blind, having fragrance in a product might ended up making others unable to use it.
Yea I agree but the idea is universal products and adding fragrance would make products unusable to a large group of people with sensitive skin or allergies to fragrance
agreed it's really cool! olfactory! tactile = touch :)
Also fragrance in general is an irritant to the skin and should generally be avoided in things you put on your face. Mostly because the skin on the face is really sensitive. So plz be careful!
I think it’d be really fun (and kinda hilarious, in a good way) if a makeup line did a scratch n sniff type packaging- then the fragrance isn’t directly in the product going on the face, but you can still smell which product it is!
I feel kinda ashamed of never thinking how blind people use simple things. Thanks Allure and especially many thanks to Molly for raising awareness on that matter. Ableism is an important matter which is often overlooked and not talked about and also is often so inexplicably used by many brands and persons, because of not thinking outside of their own realm. Again, thank you!
no sh*t cause you aren't blind
I don’t feel ashamed at all.
Why would you feel “ashamed”? A little dramatic…
As a legally blind person I really appreciate that Molly was given this platform. Accessibility is a lot harder to come by in beauty products than you’d think, most often, I have to adapt a product myself with the help of sighted person (which I hate, no offense sighties but y’all be condescending sometimes) and put a ridiculous amount of effort to organise my collection to an extent you wouldn’t guess.
Popcorn i personally wrote this using the Zoom feature on my phone to see what I was writing and by knowing my keyboard. Visually impaired people also use a screenreader, it’s a feature that most modern devices have, it basically reads out loud whatever is on the screen. If I were on my laptop, I would be using that!
i’m not blind but i can relate to ableds being condescending it’s so annoying lmao
@@miles3026 right? They kind of act like they’re talking to children which gets real old real quick
@@kashvi1225 there is also voice command
No offense taken😂
I can’t fully understand what it’s like to have to navigate the world without vision, but watching things like this help me to understand better. If I ever design a makeup line or skincare line, I’ll be sure to find the best way to make the products easily identifiable for anyone
If you want to learn more you should check out he channel. She does a lot of videos like this. Plus just normal every day vlogs. Most times I forget shes even blind.
Pharrell Williams new skin care line is called human race and the packaging has Brail on it he said he wanted it to be inclusive for everyone
That’s really awesome. I didn’t see that story. Thank you for sharing it.
Everything is sold out 😑 I just looked
thats awesome! we need morr braile in the world, it would be perfect if the ingredients werent bad for you..
It's only inclusive if it isn't dead expensive like most celebrity products.
That’s awesome, but as Molly said, not all blind people can read brail. So it’s a good step, but differentiating design needs to go even further!
I never understood how difficult this could be for people with sight difficulties.. this video really changed the way how i look at products.. thanks so much for the information!! I’m really glad to learn and understand this😊
If you want to learn more you can always watch her channel. She does a lot of informative videos as well as just normal stuff. It's really nice cause sometimes you watch and forget shes even blind. It really shows that although "disabled" when things are accessible shes not disabled.
@@fidelianerina can 100% agree and confirm. I'll watch a few videos of hers in a row and will completely forget until she mentions it or it is the topic of the video. She has a lot if great content and its super informative as well as fun to watch.
Her channel is really informative and just straight-up fun. There’s also a blind youtuber named Tommy Edison, although since he’s far older than Molly, his content style is different but still tackles informative topics. Also his sense of humour.
This makes me want to start a beauty brand and be this inclusive for everyone. That would be so cool to have a palette in Braille
What about for the blind that don’t read Braille like molly mentioned in this vid?
@@rainstorm571 someone else can make that :p
@Waffle Stack that’s a great idea!!
i still cant get over that america doesn't have anything tactile on their money. idk when my country put it on but at least 15 years I would say. in America there's no way for a blind person to know (unless they buy a reader) if someone if giving them a 50 or a 1
Wow i didnt even know there was money that did this, thats really cool! I am a sad American who wants tactile money now! 😄
the euro has different sized notes to distinguish the difference
Also, the colors are identical as well, which means they have missed the chance to help legally blind people who see color. My sight is pretty decent but even I would be annoyed by paper money that lacks variety in so many ways
In Canada our money has tactile bumps.
@@GabrieleMBest00 They also have tactile bumps in the border
Even as a makeup artist I have never truly realised how much of an impact packaging can have. Thank you for opening my closed mind.
Okay so can a brand have her as a consultant or let her curate a pallette. It's what the world needs
I want a molly pallet omg
In Japan, most of the shampoos and conditioner has those dots or line thingy. It’s so cool that the world is thinking about other people rn.
I am not blind, but I'm unable to see well in the shower so it would be nice if there was a tactile marker on the shampoo and conditioner bottles when they feel exactly the same otherwise. Accessible products and design often benefit everyone.
same here! i always pop the lid of the conditioner bottle open so i know at a touch which is which. c:
Yes! When I take my glasses off I'm basically fumbling around, choosing products based on shape.
I also can't stand razors that have too much of that gel stuff. It coats the legs in a smoothing substance so I can't feel if there's any stumbles left behind without washing my leg... Looking at you Billie (razor brand)
Ugh! Same! It’s so hard when the conditioner and shampoo is identical. I wear glasses but when I don’t I have very bad sight
I always put my contacts in before I get in the shower for this reason
@@gemmaryan5095 Really? I’ve always heard that’s bad for your eyes
I also have many vision issues, what she said about eyeshadow palettes is so true. I am almost completely colorblind and can’t differentiate color very well. Another option for makeup brands is to have names in the colors that actually match the color or shade. (The worst for me was realizing that cola in the James Charles palette was not brown) this and many of the things she said will not only help the blind but those what struggle with color vision and progressive vision loss
Evan Arnold thank you for sharing
Ikr, you would think cola would either be red or brown (considering I usually think of coca cola when I hear the word cola), but he made it blue for some reason...
@@i-landsleepaid2452 pepsi
@@upperedgelon1317 sure, but who even calls pepsi, pepsi cola anymore
@@i-landsleepaid2452 I imagined cola would be dark brown, black or red lol blue is so bizarre
15:11 when she says “look at that” but can’t actually see it I think is so cute because her tone is excited and she can feel the curl tactically but saying look at that is to us who are able to see it. Idk I thought it was cute. Also can we talk about how amazing she explains everything I don’t have problems with my vision but I was cleaning around my room with this playing and I can really visualize everything she had. I assume that comes in the realm of losing one of your senses is to use your other ones and be able to describe it so well. Honestly she should consider public speaking to other brands to help them be more accessible because she explains it so well
I agree😊! But that took a turn.
It did say she was a motivational speaker in the beginning
She looks like Lily James
Stuff related to looking and seeing is just part of our vernacular, so it's natural for a blind person to say "look at that" or "see you later" even if they can't see.
As a colorblind person I would love if they could include a brief description of each color, even if its on the back or bottom of the package.
Oh that would be great! I'm always shocked to learn that those colours all have assigned purposes in many palettes too.
In my eyeshadow palettes, there is always a piece of thin plastic on top, with the names of the colours. I’m not colourblind so I just throw that piece out. But it’s really useful for colourblind people.
I’m pretty sure all sighted people would appreciate packaging that isn’t so hard to find the opening for, too! That product with the hinge that seemed like the opening would definitely screw me up fairly often and I’m sighted.
i swear, I try to open my blush on the wrong side like every time
I have one that is like that for o-ending but it cleverly has a little arrow pointing towards the opening with the brand name just above. This isn’t good if u have poor eyesight or are blind x but if they had an embossed arrow pointing to the opening that might be a thought too?
same i've broken two powder containers by "opening" them on the wrong side
Same lmao it has happened to me so many times
her talking about the lipstick: there’s nothing helpful about this packaging
me who has to open every lipstick just to see the color: girl I GET IT 😩
not really the same but k
@@sano8172 It kinda is, when you have 20 lipsticks of the same brand (because EVERY other brand dires out your EXTRADRY lips and they all (in closed state) are indistinguishable, bc said company puts every lipstick in the very same container.
I could tell the container is of color X, but that is it.
@@mediagirl initially i agreed with you, but at the same time, Molly would have to get another person to tell her which one was which, because at least once you've opened them you know.
So yeah, equally unhelpful when you're trying to select a certain one, but overall more unhelpful for a visually impaired person because even once it's opened they can't tell.
@@danh4698 i think this is good example on how uninclusive products can also make things more difficult even for abled people but even worse for the disabled
@@danh4698 I think this isn't to downplay molly's disability but just to say how bad the design is, so bad that it is confusing even for normal people
Her: i don't know how the peach palette tastes, i don't eat makeup
Me: (who's licked the peach setting powder) yea, who eats makeup?
How can you say this and then not share how it tasted??
Fun fact the white peach palette tastes like vanilla.
ME TOO
Well... HOWD IT TASTE
each of the toofaced food scented products has a little bit of cocoa in them, if im correct, and I can confirm the peach tastes peachy and the chocolate tastes chocolatey lol
I love Molly’s content. I hope more brands do start taking accessibility into consideration. Thanks for raising awareness.
This is really interesting to watch. Also I love how Molly is friends with James Charles yet still not afraid to say that it’s hard and that she wouldn’t reach for his pallet.
That’s a palette by Wet N Wild made to look like James’ palette. His has the larger circles in the middle to distinguish the pans better and his also has a glossy font on the top to help.
@@cheeto6618 But the majority of the eyeshadow pans are the same small size, and not the best organized.
I love Molly Burke she’s so inspiring how she deals with her disability and just a very funny and care free person all together person
It's not inspiring to live with a disability or be disabled. Please stop saying that about us. It's actually hurtful.
@@outoftheklosset she said it was inspiring for someone who has a disability can make a change for themselves and learn how to deal with it. She or he didn't mean to offend anyone.
It’s crazy to think that she can’t see herself but she still looks amazing when she does stuff by herself but then I wake up and get ready and look like crap. Get it girlllll!
She has such a pleasant voice and way of talking....and a very charismatic energy...def subscribing to her channel
Me: *Not in the beauty industry*
Also me: *Furiously takes notes*
Relatable, have a nice day.
I paused halfway through the video to sign up as a volunteer for Be My Eyes. It is such a cool idea!!! If I can help even one person it will be worth it 😊
I’m really glad accessibility is being addressed. I’m a disabled girl, and as you go through life, you realize how designed for abled people life truly is.
Remember when people were claiming she wasn’t blind
They still do on her channel 😔
Still do on her tiktok
Why would they think that she’s lying?
I feel like they expect all blind people to have dull or lifeless eyes, or to just never open them at all, or maybe to never be able to look directly into the camera. Idk only thing I could think of.
@@happyperson7663 They usually say because she makes eye contact with the camera. She’s said a zillion times that she puts the camera in the middle of a ring light so she knows where to look.
As a male, non makeup user, this video was super interesting. Thanks Molly Burke!
I'm an interior design major and most of what Molly talks about in terms of universal design is a topic one of my professors also discusses regularly. Even with that, her insight gives me as a deign major so much more to consider for projects.
I’m actually one of the volunteers on Be My Eyes. After watching Molly Burke I realised if I can help someone out through a screen I’m doing my part.
As a blind graphic designer, I have been advocating for brands and companies to implement techniques like these in packaging and branding. Thank you Molly for always using your platform to motivate sighted people to engineer for easy accessibility.
As an industrial designer, hearing all those things she mentions are things I'll try to keep in my mind when I am designing, because is so important to think about all needs
I never thought about this. Very interesting video
I’ve never heard of the Be My Eyes app but that sounds like a really great way to volunteer (especially during COVID lockdown!)
I've heard a lot of beauty youtubers talk about how Too Faced like does too much with the products packaging with out the actual eyeshadows being that amazing but, I've never heard praise over how tactilely accessable they are. Good to know!
For an eye shadow palette: How about 12 shades in a row system and having embroided colour and pigmentation names such as red, orange and yellow on one side and dark, medium, fair and light on the other so that you can mathematically figure out which shade is what exact colour. This would not only help blind but also colour-blind people to pick the right colour.
Super interesting! And that mascara with water droplets on the case for the waterproof one? Ingenious. The Be My Eyes app is so cool, too!!
If a blind woman can put makeup on successfully and look gorgeous then I (a seeing person) have exactly zero excuses. Molly, you are awesome and I admire you.
She has but one advantage. Non creased eyeshadow. She has her eyes perfectly closed when applying. I wish I was that confident
I’m a designer and I absolutely love universal design! This is the first time I’ve ever heard it mentioned on a major channel or in popular media. Not even many design schools teach about it, unfortunately. Thanks for raising awareness and explaining what you think about these specific products in an accessible way.
For fake eyelashes: maybe you could try using the magnetic lashes that stick to the eyeliner. I think some brands have clear liner, so imperfect lines wouldn’t matter.
As a sighted person, those are very fiddly and tedious and hard to use, so I can’t imagine they’d be very good for the visually impaired or blind unfortunately :(
Did you see Micarah Towers’s lashes ad placement? It was so hilarious. I usually skip through TH-cam ad placements.
I've never used them but I was wondering if they'd be helpful! I have a friend who swears by them
The way she smiled talking about her partner was so heartwarming :)
makeup-loving engineer here taking notes on universal design like crazy!!! thank you for teaching us how disabled people experience the world and how we, as designers, can help make it better for you!!!
Love that you mentioned that Dyson air wrap, I am a quadriplegic with very limited hand function and got one for myself after seeing the air wrap technology essentially curl the hair itself. I've never been able to style my own hair since this injury and this tool allows me actually do it myself! It does take some getting used to but once you do it's amazing!!
I LOVE hearing about universal design and accessibility. As a sighted and hearing person I obviously don't run into these limitations in my own personal life, so I appreciate being made aware of them.
I’m not blind what so ever but I love how inspiring molly is. Also we totally need more accessible products for people like molly.❤️
I stan herbal essence. Their cruelty free, vegan and accessible
According to everything I've found they aren't cruelty free.
@@Wdiftd They preach about being cruelty free. Even peta certified them

I watch Molly, and her partner is also blind so the fact that she gets him to check her makeup makes me chuckle sometimes 😊
I'm wondering if he is blind to a slightly lesser degree, and may be one of the individuals she mentioned who can see some colour which is why he maybe helps her. I don't know that as fact, I don't think they've mentioned it but I haven't watched many of their newer ones where she introduces him and does things with him so I don't know how much they've mentioned about his diagnosis.
I’m not trying to be rude or anything but she kept looking at the product in her hand does that mean she sees shadows
@@taylorbraithwaite3337 she does mention it. Iirc he has some sight but is legally blind.
He is fully blind in one eye and low vision in the other, like he need to magnify stuff to see it or look at it very very closely.
@@KJ-gf2zr yeah she can see shadows. Also, i think I read somewhere that our brains just automatically look at things even if you're blind.
There is a curling iron that has a plastic guard and the guard has slots that you wind the hair in. You just find the clip at the end of the barrel and clip the hair in and then turn the barrel and the hair automatically winds up the barrel in the slots . I am positive I could do it with my eyes shut because I don't need gloves with it and I have done it without a mirror so I really think someone blind could use it. Also, my ten year old daughter uses it and I don't ever have to worry about her burning herself with it because she just can't because the design doesn't allow it . I think it is by Remington.
Girl whaaat!? I need this!!!

As a blind girl, I would love if shampoos/conditioners/soaps etc HACE tactile differentiators. And let’s start putting Braille on beauty products, it would be great for people like me, and honestly cool for people who have never seen it before as well as spreading awareness. Oh also don’t even get me started on liquid eyeliner, that is a big nono for me
*honestly, Molly educated me a lot today, I was pretty ignorant on the accessibility for disabled people and she just gave me a insight on how important it is to have universally accesible products*
When Molly spoke abt the dots on the back of the shampoos and conditioner bottles, it made me think of the ones I have upstairs. I have herbal essence bio renew, which smell amazing, and at the bottom r the dots which r braille to differentiate between shampoo and conditioner
Yes! She’s done a whole video about it too ☺️
This video gave me more information than school for the past year😳
“It probably tastes like Peach too. I dunno, I don’t eat my makeup.”
This made me laugh out loud! I’m glad you got a chance to share your voice. Even if it’s not the opinion of all blind people, it still helps companies be able to make their products accessible to impaired people! 🙂
I love Molly so much!! Wow, I didn't know Herbal Essences put the stripes and circles on the back of their packaging, that's amazing!
