Ariel Leon Castro " Tacho, " was born in Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. At a young age he was fascinated by not only basics of makeup and the changing of a persons face; but the amazing looks and transformations with special effects makeup and design. After turning 18 he moved to Tijuana to become a graphic designer. After taking classes and keeping makeup as a hobby, his love of the art become more demanding. He left the keyboard for a pallet and never looked backed. Starting off in some of the minor projects, he quickly worked his way from scrubbing brushes to painting faces of some of Hollywood's big names. Tacho has built a name for himself in the Mexican Film community as the one of the top make up artists. He has worked with major names such as Daddy Yankee, Michael Jae White, Luke Goss, Dolph Lundgren, Paz Vega, Vanessa Vazquez, Karlan Souza and many more.
