blind, visually impaired

Paola Espinosa smiled from ear to ear as she got her nails done in bright pink polish. She then applied pomegranate lip gloss straight from the applicator, and finally sat as her hair was softly braided and twirled. A sweep of nail color, a dab of lip gloss and a perfect coif. All are steps many women take for granted in their endless quest for beauty. But for Espinosa and others who are blind or visually impaired, it was a learning experience aimed at enhancing their self image and boosting their independence. “I want to feel good about myself and go out and look pretty, ” said Espinosa, 25, of Miami, her shiny lips matching her newly painted nails. On Monday, local cosmetology experts offered tips and tricks to about a dozen visually impaired women and men at Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired’s first “Beauty for the Blind” event. “Beauty is everything, ” said Cameron Sisser, manager of external relations at Miami Lighthouse for the Blind, who came up with the idea. “It’s a cool event to teach them certain techniques on how to make themselves pretty.” Owners and staff from three local businesses, Nail Bar Beauty Lounge, Blo Blow Dry Bar Midtown and Robbie Lip Gloss were on hand to pamper participants and dole out advice and samples.
