Case Study Details
Learning to do makeup after my coma was so hard because I kept dropping things!
My right hand is still half numb, but now there are products like @TiltBeauty Grip Sticks that can help me grip better so that I have fewer drops.

THE FIRST BEAUTY BRAND TO RECEIVE
THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION'S
EASE OF USE® CERTIFICATION
ONE IN FOUR U.S. ADULTS LIVES WITH A
DISABILITY. Yet only 4% of beauty brands
cater to them. For people with chronic pain, most
beauty packaging simply doesn’t work, often
requiring hacks like grippy tape, rubber bands,
or skipping makeup entirely.
Why can’t a beauty brand be easier to use for
some, but cute for everyone to enjoy equally?
In designing Tilt, we wanted to make products
that were both “seriously comfy” and beautiful
to look at.
We had to rethink the way beauty products
are packaged from the ground up — with over
300 prototypes, intensive focus groups
and 4 years of research and development.
“This project really showcased the art of accessi-
bility. Not only does it feel stylish, desirable and
modern, it’s just really cool that accessibility and
inclusive design have been embedded into this
product from start to end”
Marc Powell, Unilever’s Global Accessibility
Centre of Excellence Lead.

by myself in literally 17 years so the fact
that I was able to use my teeth and open
the package is kind of insane.”
