MYSTIC
Mascara That Appeals to All Senses
Project Overview
Mystic is a universally designed mascara that gives everyone the opportunity to express themselves. The design features a shorter wand to allow easier application and braille to help the user identify the product.
Design Goals
The design goal for Mystic is to create an accessible mascara that empowers all users, regardless of ability. By incorporating tactile features like Braille and a shorter wand for improved control, the product is both functional and easy to use. The pentagon-shaped tube ensures stability and convenience, while the overall design balances accessibility with aesthetic appeal.
Unique shape helps users distinguish between cap and body
Key Features
- Shorter wand for more control
- Braille markings for easy identification
- Distinguishable design between cap and body
- Pentagon-shaped for anti-roll functionality
The mascara tube underwent numerous iterations to achieve the optimal shape. This iterative process involved multiple rounds of 3D printing, culminating in the creation of the final model using resin printing to mimic the appearance of glass.
Research:
Molly Burke, a prominent advocate for accessibility, provided key insights through her reviews of beauty products. Her emphasis on tactile cues, anti-roll designs, and empowering aesthetics guided the inclusion of features like Braille markings and the pentagon shape. Molly’s platform was instrumental in understanding and addressing the needs of the visually impaired community.
