Dia De Los Muertos: Honoring the Dead with Ornate Makeup
Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican cultural celebration that honors friends and family who have died.
While it is traditionally celebrated on November 1-2, and coincides with Halloween (October 31), it is not connected to the spooky holiday.
Día de los Muertos is a day to honor your ancestors and your deceased loved ones and to welcome them back with altars of their favorite things, pictures, candles, and marigolds.
People pay reverence with ornate makeup looks, altars, and by displaying their favorite foods and sharing stories of memories.
MUA artist Judith Batista, a master of the opulent skulls, shares her insight into this cultural celebration.
