Go to website

e.l.f. Cosmetics is a budget-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free beauty brand offering high-quality makeup and skincare. Known for fan-favorites like the Poreless Putty Primer, e.l.f. blends innovation, inclusivity, and accessibility—making beauty affordable and approachable for all.

e.l.f. is a part of our beauty collection by Kailey.  Putting on make up to express yourself and participate in daily activities is what Occupational Therapy is all about!  Check out the rest of the collection here.

Why we know this works

We love this brand because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know adaptive products too often carry a premium price that puts them out of reach. Does accessible makeup have to be expensive? No: e.l.f. keeps its vegan, cruelty-free makeup and skincare budget-friendly, and the company has been working with accessibility consultants to build more inclusive products, including an accessible kit created with world champion blind swimmer Anastasia Pagonis. That combination of low cost and genuine accessibility work makes it an easy place to start experimenting without wasting money.

This is especially useful for anyone on a fixed income, and for people with low vision or dexterity changes who want affordable products to try. e.l.f. is a mainstream line rather than a fully adaptive one, so if you need ergonomic handles or certified easy-open packaging, Guide Beauty and Tilt Beauty are designed for exactly that job.
