Making Up For Her Differences

TESS DALY’S beauty blog has racked up tens of thousands of followers, had her flown to hang out with other bloggers and make-up artists in Beverley Hills and ensures she is always first on the list when a cosmetic range launches a new powder or potion.

The 29-year-old is living the life that many fashion conscious 20-somethings would dream of. But less enviable is the limiting condition that she was born with that means she needs constant, round-the-clock care and can do very little for herself.

“Basically, I started blogging because wicked brows and lashes are about the only thing I can do for myself” the fiery fashion stylist says. “I have spinal muscular atrophy type 2, which affects everything basically. I can’t sit by myself, I can’t stand or walk or move my arms properly. I need carers to help me with absolutely everything – and the ones that work for me have also had to pick up a few beauty skills along the way. I can do my own eyes, brows and lips but my PAs have to help me with my skin because I only have limited mobility in my arm and I just can’t reach my face. They’ve pretty much had to become make-up artists.”

Tess was diagnosed with SMA after her parents noticed that she wasn’t hitting the usual baby-milestones.
