British teen Lucy Edwards is a soon-to-be law student and rising beauty star on YouTube. She's also blind. In an interview with BuzzFeed, Lucy shared that she started going blind at the age of 11 but lost all sight at the age of 17. That hasn't stopped her from being terrifically talented when it comes to doing her own makeup. Her sister worked with her for a year to create a beauty routine that she felt comfortable doing on her own, which she shared on YouTube to help other blind makeup-lovers develop their regimen.

We were most impressed to find out that a staple of her look is liquid eyeliner! "You might have to get someone to check it after," she admitted. Lucy's tips for liquid liner can help those with 20/20 vision, as well: "I place the other hand on my eyelid to get the pen in the right position . . . I feel all along my lash line to get the right line." But above all, when it comes to liquid liner mastery, "you just have to be confident!" Truer, more relatable beauty advice has never been spoken.
