The holiday is most commonly celebrated in Mexico, where families spend three days preparing for and enjoying Día de Los Muertos. The celebration includes setting up an altar, or ofrenda, to decorate with gifts and photos to honor family members from past generations. There are also brightly colored decorations, colorful flowers and traditional foods involved. Last but not least, many elect to wear face paint that resembles a sugar skull.
This Catrina makeup look by Martinez features pink, hearts, and all themes of love.“When I’m putting on this, I think of the people that are gone,” Martinez explains. “It makes me think of them because that’s what it’s for. It’s not just a costume.” 15. This bejeweled Day of the Dead look La Catrina is an iconic figure that comes from a piece of work called La Calavera Catrina by artist José Guadalupe Posada, which features a skeleton woman wearing a dressy hat adorned with flowers. (Catrina was also later included in a mural by Diego Rivera.)The shades of pink and red in this Day of the Dead look are too pretty not to recreate.

This corn-husk crown look This table indicates the typical delivery periods for the different delivery methods. Delivery Method As Bautista explains, "If you think about the roots of what it really means, it’s a day to honor your deceased loved ones, and there’s nobody who’s impartial to that—anybody can relate to that," she says. " The big thing is when people don’t respect the culture itself, or they’re interested in tying it into Halloween, and that one is sensitive to me, too. I do Halloween makeup all the time, but I’m very careful not to label one as the other. As a Mexican-American artist, that’s been my biggest mission: to celebrate our culture without letting the roots of it be taken away."
When It Comes to Floral Headpieces, You Can Go as Big as You’d Like
By the time the Spaniards began imposing their influence on the Aztecs, their own All Saints Day traditions had taken on elements of the Celt’s Halloween rituals. Pumpkins, costumes, and themes of celebrating the dead all originated from the ancient Celtic celebration.

This pink Day of the Dead makeup While there is room for creative interpretation, keep in mind that these are traditions and celebrations that are rooted in cultural history. Since it is a celebration of life, Bautista also advises against adding any elements to your look that could lean towards horror or gore and blur the lines between Day of the Dead and Halloween. “It’s not about fear or anything scary,” Martinez adds. “It’s about life, but they just happen to be in another space.”
Rhinestones Add Dimension to Día de Los Muertos Looks
If you typically go for looks that don’t require a full face of paint—I got you.
