💄 Look Good, Feel Good Without Sight - Makeup Tutorial Success!

Today we hosted a fantastic makeup tutorial as part of our Look Good, Feel Good Without Sight program, supported by All About You Makeup artist Vanessa. Working closely with Occupational Therapist Rebecca, Vanessa has now run makeup sessions for our clients with low or no vision for over 5 years! Together, Rebecca and Vanessa co-designed makeup techniques tailored for people without sight. These strategies are built on touch, feel, and simplified routines that build confidence and independence.

One beaming participant said of the experience, "This is the first time I've been able to apply my eye makeup in years."

Using adapted tools like magnifying mirrors, enhanced lighting, and tactile guidance, participants learned how to check colours, apply products, and explore accessible makeup options. Vanessa shared product recommendations and resources to make beauty more inclusive and achievable for everyone. She’s proud to be one of the few makeup artists with expertise in this space - and we’re so happy to have her on board!

That's a wrap and the final session for this Look Good, Feel Good Without Sight program. This course also provides ideas and solutions for identifying clothing in the wardrobe and choosing flattering outfits for different occasions. If you're interested in finding out more about the group or joining a future session, contact our friendly Client Experience Team by phone: (08) 9311 8202, email: info@visability.com.au or make a referral online https://loom.ly/mRCl-3E

It’s Speech Pathology Week! 💬

This week, we’re celebrating the impact of communication and the role it plays in helping people with low or no vision to connect, learn, and thrive. Yesterday’s theme was all about connection through communication.

Through tailored support, our team strengthens communication skills and strategies so individuals can express themselves with confidence. With the right tools and guidance, communication becomes a bridge to friendships, learning, and a greater sense of belonging.

Our Meeting A Friend Socially (MAFS) Group is just one way we help build connections - and the next session is right around the corner! Learn more here: https://www.visability.com.au/services/group-programs/childrens-group-programs/mafs/
