Introduction:

Routines are an important part of a majority of peoples’ day to day life. Whether it is their morning routines when getting ready for work, their work routine, their cooking routine, or even their bedtime routine, people tend to stick to routines that make their life easier. One extremely popular routine for many people is putting on makeup on a day to day basis. The Unilateral Mascara Holder is a unique device that would benefit an individual with decreased functional strength on one side of their body. This would be referred to as hemiparesis. The Unilateral Mascara Holder is a portable base support to hold makeup products in place and make them easily accessible and stabilized to unscrew the top or lid of the product. This would save not only time but additionally prevent any difficulties for the user during their routine. The base of the candle holder makes it easily portable and aesthetically pleasing, the small piece of seating foam holds the products in place and the Velcro on the bottom keeps the holder sturdy and attached to whatever surface it is being used on. The beauty of the Unilateral Mascara Holder is that it can be used nearly anywhere!

• Styrofoam Block 
• Circular Candle Tin 
• Dysum 
• Hot Glue Gun
• Marker
• Command Strips 
• Cutting Utensil 
• iPhone (measure app) – or a Tape Measure

Once you find a tin that you like you can measure the inside of the tin to get the correct dimensions. 

Use the dimensions that you gathered from the tin and cut out your Styrofoam block and Dysum. 

Take three of your favorite beauty products that you like to use and measure the bottom of the products.  Once you have measured the products you can use a maker to draw the holes leaving at least an inch between each of the circles.

Once you have drawn on the circles grab your cutting utensil to cut out the holes that you drew in step 3. Do not worry if the holes are perfect thats okay ours weren't either and it did not affect the use of the device. After you cut the hole try and place the beauty products in each hole to ensure it is large enough.

Once you have finished cutting out all the circles you can place hot glue on the bottom of the Styrofoam block and press the Dysum to the bottom on the Styrofoam.

Place the Styrofoam and Dysum block into the tin can, make sure that it fits inside the tin can and is very snug with little to no wiggle room.

Flip the tin can over onto the bottom and place the two hook command strips on the bottom of the tin can. The Loop command strips will be used to place on different surfaces where you choose to use the product.

Now place in your beauty products or take it on the go! Thank you for reading our post please share so that we can help people all across the country feel empowered and independent.
