* Individuals aged 18 years to 55 years.
* Minimal to moderate upper extremity deficits, including but not limited to limited mobility or dexterity impairments.
* Regular users of beauty products.
* Able to understand and communicate in the language of the study.

Participants will be provided with a selection of beauty products items including foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter, and lipstick, specifically chosen for their potential accessibility features. They will have a specified trial period during which they can use the products as part of their regular beauty routines.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accessibility of beauty products for individuals with upper extremity disabilities. By examining various factors such as packaging design, product applicators, and ease of use, this research aims to identify barriers faced by individuals with upper extremity disabilities or visual deficits when using beauty products. The study seeks to provide insights and recommendations for improving the accessibility of beauty products, ultimately promoting inclusivity and enhancing the overall beauty experience for individuals with disabilities.

Individuals with upper extremity disabilities face unique challenges when it comes to using beauty products. These disabilities can include conditions such as limb loss, limited mobility, or dexterity impairments, which can significantly impact their ability to engage in self-care and beauty routines. The accessibility of beauty products is crucial to ensure that individuals with upper extremity disabilities have equal opportunities to participate in activities that promote self-expression and confidence.

Research in the field of accessible design has highlighted the importance of inclusive product development across various industries, including cosmetics and personal care. However, limited attention has been given specifically to beauty products and their usability for individuals with upper extremity disabilities.

To address this gap, studies are being conducted to assess the accessibility of beauty products and identify potential barriers and solutions. These studies typically examine factors such as packaging design, ergonomics of product applicators, ease of grip, and maneuverability. By understanding the specific challenges faced by individuals with upper extremity disabilities, researchers can propose modifications and design considerations that enhance accessibility.

Exploring Accessible Beauty: A Study on Enhancing Beauty Product Accessibility for Individuals With Upper Extremity Deficits

It is a validated self-reported instrument to assess packaging of the makeup. A few questions will focus on shape of the cap, length of the wand, shape of the doe foot, finish of the components, how it affects grip, and weight of the component/applicator. Possible scores range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

Participants will complete questionnaires that assess their demographics, disability characteristics, and previous experiences with beauty products.

Participants will evaluate the beauty products based on predefined criteria, including ease of grip, maneuverability, packaging design, and product applicators. They will document their experiences, challenges faced, and any suggestions for improvements. Possible scores range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).

Participants will assess changes in their perceptions and experiences with the beauty products. This will include questions about satisfaction, usability, and any perceived improvements in accessibility. Possible scores range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
