Adapted Makeup Brush

Purpose

FOP Community Member Julieta Sanchez Lopez “Juli”, who lives with FOP in Colombia, created this makeup brush to help her be independent in her makeup routine. She had to create multiple versions before she was able to make a tool that met her needs. She says,  “I want to do my makeup routine by myself how I like.”

 

How to make

Items Needed: Adhesive Tape, Makeup Brush, Foam Tubing, Plastic Hand
  • Cut the sponge tube size 2.5 cm or the diameter of the brush
  • Wrap the foam roller on the curved end of the plastic hand
  • Adjust the foam roller to the correct size
  • Attach with tape.

This tool was created as part of the 2026 Ability Toolbox Homemade Tools Contest. More information about the contest can be found on the IFOPA Webpage. The IFOPA would like to thank The Radiant Hope Foundation for their generous financial support of this program.
