Robyn Ryan is more than a founder—she is a force of nature. Born in Jamaica and raised in a culture shaped by color, rhythm, and resilience, Robyn brings the warmth of the islands into every room she walks into. Her journey from a small fishing village to becoming a respected beauty entrepreneur in the Midwest is one of bold faith, grit, and undeniable purpose.

With over 25 years of experience in the beauty and fashion industry, Robyn has carved her own lane as an International Master Makeup Artist, Board-Licensed Aesthetician, educator, runway model, pageant queen, and creative director. Her signature artistry blends clean technique, luxury beauty, and that unmistakable Caribbean glow.

At the center of it all is her mission: to help women look bold—so they can live bold.

Caribbean Beauty Secrets™: Beauty with Island Soul

Robyn created Caribbean Beauty Secrets™ to share the rituals, botanicals, and island heritage that shaped her. She believes beauty should nourish—inside and out. Every lipstick, oil, and eyeshadow is inspired by Caribbean ingredients and storylines, then elevated with Robyn’s professional artistry and clean-beauty standards.

From her best-selling Pineapple Pop™ lipstick to denim-blue liners and sunset-toned eyeshadow stories, Robyn’s collections celebrate culture, confidence, and identity in every shade.

The Red Lipstick Foundation™: From One Swipe to a Movement

In January 2016, one swipe of red lipstick on the lips of a girl finding her voice became a symbol of courage—and a movement began. What started as The Red Lipstick Campaign™ has now grown into The Red Lipstick Foundation™, a charitable and educational platform powered by beauty and rooted in impact.

Through the Foundation, Robyn and her team support:

• Beauty education and skill-building for women and girls
• Modeling workshops and creative training
• Mentorship and confidence-building programs
• Empowerment events and real-time community support

Every swipe creates impact. Every purchase fuels purpose. Every woman becomes part of something bigger.
