I recently had the pleasure of having Ryno do the makeup for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Ryno was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. Ryno listened carefully to what I wanted and created a look that was even better than I had imagined. My bridesmaids and I all felt beautiful and confident, and the makeup lasted perfectly throughout the entire day and night. Ryno has an amazing eye for detail and a great sense of what works best for each individual’s features. The entire experience was enjoyable and stress-free, which was exactly what I needed on my big day. I highly recommend Ryno to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable makeup artist.

I had the pleasure of having Ryno, a celebrity make-up artist, do my makeup as if I too, was a star. I sure felt like it under his brush strokes. He also did my sister’s makeup, a very particular person when it comes to her makeup, and she could not STOP gushing about it. When I look at my wedding photos, Ryno gave me that bridal glow. I’m so incredibly happy! He’s the calm force every bride needs on her wedding day. He’s so professional, so kind, and I cannot be more impressed with him. For the value he brings, his fees are unbelievably affordable. When it comes to doing my makeup professionally, I will never ever let anybody else do it besides Ryno! Ryno, you are TRULY AMAZING! – M Theunissen
