Beauty for the Blind Tips to Empower the Visually Impaired

October 20, 2020

October is Blindness Awareness Month and we are honored to be able to spotlight Chelsea Nguyen, a licensed cosmetologist and image consultant, who helps empower men and women who are visually impaired by teaching them non-visual hair, makeup and grooming techniques. In this inspiring episode she’ll share her tips and tricks, as well as talk about the some of the technology available to help the visually impaired identify colors and prevent wardrobe mishaps, and even shares ways that fully-sighted individuals can donate their time to help out. According to the CDC, approximately 12 million people 40 years and over in the United States have vision impairment, including 1 million who are blind, and an estimated 93 million adults in the United States are at high risk for serious vision loss.
