Meag doesn’t let lack of finger function stop her from wielding a makeup brush with impeccable precision. Meag is a quadriplegic, who also happens to be a writer, comic, and actress, and she stars in a series of makeup application videos.
Meag was injured in 2005, and three years later she underwent bilateral tendon transfer surgery which allowed her to “use my hands in a functional way once again,” she shares.
In her makeup tutorial series on You Tube titled “Makeup Paws,” Meag is open about her disability in a positive and humorous way. “I got special paws,” Meag narrates as she holds up her hands for her viewers to see. “You got wonky fingers?” Meag asks playfully. “Brushes are your friends,” she answers as she begins her makeup application. Meag then sticks the brush’s end in her mouth as she manipulates her mirror. “Yeah, so, get over it,” she narrates. “Sometimes I gotta put brushes in my mouth to make things work.”
