Mark de los Reyes

Makeup artist + beauty expert

Mark de los Reyes is a makeup artist whose journey through life has been as eclectic and vibrant as his artistry. Born in Manila, Mark's nomadic youth was shaped by his family's military background, leading to moves across the United States and even to Okinawa, Japan, at a young age.

Mark's formal education in Commercial Art and Graphic Design provided a foundation, but his true schooling came from the intersection of American media, club culture, and queer nightlife. Immersed in the world of drag, he found inspiration and mentorship from the diverse community of performers, artists, and personalities who populated the scene.

Mark's portfolio boasts an impressive array of clients from the realms of fashion, music, and entertainment, including luminaries like Brooke Shields, Oscar Isaac, and Iris Apfel. His work has graced the pages of prestigious publications such as Vogue, Elle, and DAZED, while his collaborations with fashion houses like Marc Jacobs and Givenchy have garnered acclaim.

Looking ahead, Mark's vision extends beyond his individual artistry. He sees himself as part of a collective of artists who reflect and shape the zeitgeist. With a commitment to curiosity, creation, and intentionality, he aims not only to follow in the footsteps of his mentors but also to break new ground. Mark's dedication to supporting LGBTQ+ causes is evident through his involvement with organizations like the Trevor Project, SAGE, and the Joyful Heart Foundation.

In Mark de los Reyes, we find not just a makeup artist, but a storyteller, a visionary, and a beacon of authenticity and empowerment in the world of beauty and beyond.
