Accessibly Ever After

Ashton McGrady & Kailey Waskall

Accessibly Ever After is a beauty and lifestyle podcast reimagining makeup, skincare, and cosmetic design through an accessibility-first lens. Created by disabled creators and accessibility advocates, Ashton McGrady & Kailey Waskall, this show exists because too many beauty products still aren’t designed for real bodies, real hands, or real lived experiences. We’re here to change that. Each week, we review makeup and skincare products, break down what makes packaging accessible (or inaccessible), celebrate thoughtful design wins, and share practical ways to adapt beauty routines for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent makeup lovers. From easy-open packaging and grip-friendly tools to formulation, usability, and inclusive design, we go beyond trends to talk about what actually works. Once a month, we release a minisode featuring guests from the beauty industry, accessibility experts, and individuals who creatively adapt products and routines to fit their unique needs. Our community helps guide the conversation. Follow us on Instagram @AccessiblyEverAfter to submit questions, share accessibility wins or frustrations, and help shape future episodes. All products and resources mentioned are linked in the show notes.
