Marco Castro is a Peruvian-born makeup artist based in New York. His work centers on skin- light, texture, and tone in precise balance. With a practice spanning nearly two decades, including his role as former Global Makeup Artist at NARS, he has developed a language of restraint: beauty approached with precision, instinct, and control.

His work appears in Vogue, i-D, Document Journal, CR Fashion Book, and W, and in collaboration with Willy Chavarria, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, LUAR, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. He has worked closely with photographers including Nan Goldin, Ruven Afanador, Elaine Constantine, Stefan Ruiz, Luis Alberto Rodriguez, and DiegoBendezu. Recognized by WWD as one of the artists shaping New York Fashion Week, his influence moves through both image and process. His brand extends this thinking, rooted in Peruvian culture, ritual, and material memory. Beauty, distilled to its essence.
