Peruvian-born and based in New York, Marco Castro approaches beauty as an intimate act of storytelling. His work blends minimalism with emotion—skin that glows, texture that breathes, and color that feels alive.

A former Global Makeup Artist for NARS, Marco has shaped the visual language of modern beauty through his collaborations with Vogue, Willy Chavarria, LUAR, and Submission Beauty. His looks balance restraint and sensuality, merging art and identity with effortless precision.

Named by WWD as one of the top beauty artists defining New York Fashion Week, Marco continues to blur the lines between makeup, culture, and film. Across both mediums, he illuminates stories often left unseen, reflecting the beauty, resilience, and intimacy of brown and queer lives.

Redefining modern beauty through culture, emotion, and light.
