About the Artist:

With an impressive 28 years in the beauty industry, Ryan Roberts brings high-impact artistry, visionary technique, and a deep passion for transformation to everything he does—from the bridal suite to the fashion runway.

Ryan’s journey began in the theater at the age of 12, where the magic of character transformation sparked a love for makeup that has since evolved into a dynamic career in beauty, editorial, SFX, body painting, and more. Known for blending creativity with precision—and making every client feel like they’ve stepped onto a red carpet, his theatrically inspired yet elegantly chic style has helped to garner favor with clients such as Scheana Shay (Vanderpump Rules), The Chainsmokers, Tara Reid (American Pie, Sharknado), and several magazine editorials published both nationally and internationally. 

In 2021, he joined the Cotton Rouge and Company team of artists, founded and led by Katie Cotton, bringing his signature aesthetic of “clean, classic, and expensive” beauty and confidence to brides and wedding parties all around the Southeast area. His specialties range from high-fashion editorial makeup to TV/film and prosthetics, and his experience in theatre, runway, and music video makeup makes him one of the most versatile artists on the team. Whether he’s airbrushing full body art or crafting a flawless soft glam bridal look, Ryan infuses each application with intention, story, and artistry that transforms while maintaining a calm and collected attitude that puts clients at ease, no matter their event.

Ryan currently resides in Greenville, South Carolina with his cat Korosensei but is available for travel to destinations far and wide.
