Lucy Edwards is the 19-year-old beauty vlogger gaining serious recognition for her accomplished makeup tutorials. Lucy stands out in a sea of beauty vloggers because she’s not only great at makeup, she’s also blind. The UK native has become an expert at applying makeup beautifully without a mirror.Her videos (posted under the name Yesterday’s Wishes) are detailed and meticulous. She takes the time to guide viewers on makeup application.

She recently shared a bit of her history with Buzzfeed. It took about a year for her to be comfortable doing her make-up by herself. “I have my basic routine that I do now when I’m at college. If I feel like I’m having a more spotty day then I add concealer. If I want to contour I could do that. My sister has taught me to go over my contouring with a powder on the top. I’ve got steps in place that make sure that I’ve done it right. And I do go very slowly! Because I don’t have a mirror!”

“And that’s the thing about being blind. You are very dependent on other people. and make-up for me, personally, means that I don’t have to ask anyone about how my face looks any more. Because I know I’ve put my foundation on a certain way, and I’ve built up my routine so I know my cleansing routine and all that. I know that my face looks good without looking in the mirror. So I don’t have to ask someone, ‘Do I look good today?’, because I know that I do”.

Lucy Edwards is indeed one inspiring young woman!
