Crown Collective 👑: Mariadeliz S.

In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, we’re joined by Mariadeliz Santiago, aka @LimbitlessMaria, an NYC-based beauty creator, makeup artist, and disability advocate born with Ulnar Mammary Syndrome and an upper limb difference. Maria shares how she found her creative voice through makeup, navigated a beauty industry that rarely reflected people like her, and became the representation she wished she’d seen growing up.We’re diving into what accessible beauty really looks like, from packaging that’s easier to grip and open to adaptive tools that make makeup application more accessible. Maria shares how she approaches beauty products both as a creator and professional makeup artist, the tools that help her work with clients, and why brands need to include disabled people in product development.We also talk about navigating the pressure to educate, balancing disability advocacy with simply showing up as a beauty creator, and why disabled people deserve the freedom to share every part of their lives online. Maria offers encouragement to disabled creatives who may be hesitant to pursue makeup artistry, reminding us that clients choose artists for their talent, not just their process.Plus, we get into makeup hot takes, rapid-fire beauty questions, and the products Maria can’t live without!Listen now and start seeing beauty differently.Links:Maria’s LinkedInSocials: @LimbitlessMaria (TikTok), @LimbitlessMaria_ (Instagram), @AccessiblyEverAfter, @OccupationBeauty, @RadiantlyAshtonContact Us: contact@wishingwellco.comContact Mariadeliz: mariasantiago@eptalent.com
