Edwards went
blind at 17,
she was
devastated.
As a result, the 20-year-old
who suffers a rare genetic
condition called incontinentia
pigmenti, a disorder ordinarily
affecting skin but which can,
in extreme cases, lead to
blindness had to take a year
off school, and feared her
dream of a career in beauty
blogging was over.
However, Lucy has refused
to let her disability hold her
back. Since going blind, shes
perfected a make-up regime that
she can do herself, and set up her
blog, Yesterdays Wishes, giving
beauty tips including videos
showing how to tackle liquid
eyeliner to her 25k followers.
Closer treated Lucy to a trip
to Brighton to meet beauty
blogger Zoe Zoella Sugg, 25,
