‘Nothing is impossible’: Video of differently-able makeup artist wows many online

One of his videos recently went viral, in which he wears a black sheer dress while giving himself a glamorous makeover. Using Ariana Grande’s ‘Position’ as a background score, the TikTok video not only got millions of views on the app, but also spread to other platforms.

The video started with Wheatley applying foundation on his face with a blender fixed on the table. He then put on concealer and powder with a brush, holding it steadily with his shoulder, and then glammed up his eyes in a similar fashion. What left users most impressed was the way he perfectly fitted in his eyelashes to finish the look.

This is why representation matters. Imagine finding a person to teach you how to apply makeup without arms/hands. Imagine being the person that needs this. This a AMAZING. https://t.co/icuhYpxzJk

I know folks mean well, You can compliment them without saying “how does someone DISABLED do makeup better than me?” This puts the expectation that disabled people are set to fail and that it is extraordinary when we find ways to accommodate our needs.

He did a stellar. While I don’t use makeup, this makes me want to have a conversation about tools for people with disabilities who want to apply makeup. Where are they?
