About Me
My name is Rimvydas Klimas, a makeup artist from Marijampole, Lithuania, now based in Paris. I’ve had the privilege to work with Vogue, participate in Paris Fashion Week, and collaborate with brands like Juun.J and PUMA Japan. After reaching the Top 10 in the NYX Cosmetics Face Awards, I worked at NYX Professional Makeup store in Lithuania, finished cosmetology studies. Afterward, I relocated to Paris where I freelanced with clients like Vogue Polska, and gained valuable bridal experience through Onorina Jomir Beauty.

More About My Story
How It All Started
My journey into makeup artistry began unexpectedly while studying Biotechnology. A practical makeup seminar sparked a passion that led me to switch my major to Cosmetology. Since then, I’ve devoted myself to mastering makeup and skincare through practice on friends, advanced training, and professional courses.
Mastering the Craft
One of my early accomplishments was reaching the Top 10 among Baltic countries in the NYX Cosmetics Face Awards and the TOP 5 in Squad Awards, which opened doors to exciting opportunities. I then worked at NYX Professional Makeup while freelancing on the side. I collaborated with film directors, photographers, and designers on various creative projects.
Creative Collaborations
I’ve been fortunate to be one of the in-house makeup artists and wig stylists for Lithuania’s biggest drag show Balaganza where I helped performers with their looks, stage performances, and even stage lights design during the shows. I’ve been a judge twice for the Online Drag Contest, celebrating the transformative power of drag.
Major Highlights
In Paris, I’ve worked with global brands and high-profile clients, including Vogue Polska and Juun.J at Paris Fashion Week, as well as weddings in Italy. As part of the team at Onorina Jomir Beauty, I gained bridal experience both in Paris and abroad, which led to a collaboration with PUMA Japan.

My Beauty Philosophy
Makeup, to me, is more than just an exterior transformation — it’s a way to uplift, empower, and bring your confidence.
I believe in ethical beauty, which is why all my brushes are made from high-quality synthetic fibers, ensuring that animal parts would not be a part of fashion.
