[blparent] Applying make-up nonvisually

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I completely agree with you, but from personal experience, most
cosmetologist won't have a clue on how to apply make-up nonvisually.
Applying make-up isn't all that difficult, and very few different
techniques are required, but nonetheless, it's nice to ask someone who
knows how to do it without sight. When training at IDB, they
periodically had a cosmetologist come to show the ladies how to apply
make-up. She didn't know how to make suggestions for nonvisual
application though. Once I arrived, I was able to compliment her
demonstration with having specific nonvisual tips. The women were
thankful for this as was the cosmetologist. In fact, when asked how to
do it nonvisually, the cosmetologist was at a loss for words.

Gloria, 
I'd suggest you talk with a cosmetologist. Their purpose in life is to
help with this sort of thing. 
Mary Kay comes right to my mind but there are others. They can help you
figure out which types both the chemicals and the colors will look good
on you and show you how to apply it.
