Ragone is known as the "Spiritual Makeup Artist", and her talents have been described as "magical" and "special" by the Duchess of York. Her take on beauty is nothing short of inspirational. Having survived a car accident which paralyzed her for years, Rita overcame all obstacles with the help of divine intervention, and those who come in contact with her describe her as being "touched by angels", and a source of positive energy.

She is adept at special effects and applies her amazing and sought after "inner and outer beauty techniques" to special needs clients to help them find the confidence and love within themselves and brings it to the surface. Her "comeback looks" are indispensable to those that have suffered any kind of setbacks in their career- and it is crucial for them to be accepted back into the public eye.

Her mantra is "Be the star that you are" and believes that everyone shines like a star once they love and appreciate their own personal beauty.

She also works with those whose beauty has been compromised due to illness, and teaches meditation and visualization to cancer patients, doctors and medical students both here in the states and in the Caribbean. She uses her Reiki training to assist those who need the most help to overcome obstacles and see the positive side of themselves from the inside-out.
