Ten years ago, YouTuber Jordan Bone was in a car accident that left her unable to move her hands, but she hasn't let that stop her from growing a massive 80,000-subscriber following as a beauty vlogger. 

In a video uploaded last week, Bone finally told her viewers why she never moves her hands in her videos, Seventeen reported.

Before the video, Bone noted, fans would regularly ask her, "What's wrong with your hands?"

Bone also explained how becoming a tetraplegic forced her to make serious changes to her lifestyle. She can't dress herself, style her hair, and Bone is confined to a wheel chair, she explains in the video.

"I wanted to the world to still see Jordan, even though I became a tetraplegic," Bone says in the video. "I lost a lot and I didn't want to lose my identity too. Being the girl in the wheelchair wasn't my plan."

For Bone, mastering makeup as a tetraplegic is a "massive achievement" and has helped her find new confidence in herself. 

"Like contouring and highlighting teaches us, where there is darkness there is always light," she says in the video. "It's the same with life."

Today, Bone has learned how to work with her hands, often using her mouth to position and guide brushes to create flawless looks.

"My hands haven't been able to move in 10 years, but I've taught myself a new way of doing my makeup," Bone explains. "If something is standing in your way, maybe it means trying a different way. The obvious route may not always be for you."Check out the whole video here or below.
