Makeup Products to Give You the Best Dia de los Muertos Looks Yet

It’s almost time to get your brightest and best makeup for Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday honoring and celebrating deceased loved ones. Day of the Dead—Dia de los Muertos—is a three-day event, starting on October 31.

Chola Makeup

A beautiful way for Latinas to celebrate is with sugar skull makeup, aka calavera makeup. It’s an opportunity to create colorful, powerful, feminine skull designs with intricate details woven in. You can get as simple or as elaborate as you desire. As you’re looking for Dia de los Muertos makeup, for authentic and easy guidance, check out the La Catrina makeup tutorial from Latina makeup brand Reina Rebelde.

Here are a few makeup products you’ll need to create your best sugar skull makeup looks this year.

Black Liquid Eyeliner

You’ll likely find an extremely opaque, black liquid eyeliner extremely handy for creating the detail work of your Day of the Dead makeup. You can use it to draw the outline of petals around your eyes. A blue liquid eyeliner would work well in that case too. Black eyeliner can be used to create vertical stitch marks around your mouth and even as the outline of teeth you draw around your mouth. And, of course, a beautiful cat eye if that fits into your overall look. There are tons of ways to play with an easy-to-use eyeliner with a nice, felt-tip applicator. Make sure the formula is water-resistant and fade-proof so your candy skull makeup lasts.

Brow Paint

As a tribute to beloved Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, you could incorporate her iconic unibrow into your overall La Catrina makeup design. A smooth brow paint or pomade would be the perfect product to use. A multipurpose brow paint can work beautifully to define and tame your brows, plus draw a line between your brows—and it can also be used as eyeliner, eyeshadow, or an eyeshadow base. Look to a Latina makeup brand that formulates the perfect, long-wearing and sweat-proof brow paints for a Dia de los Muertos makeup look that lasts.

Bold Lipsticks

Bold lips always make a statement. Dia de los Muertos is the time to experiment with colors if you want to have some fun. Make a splash with a deep and mysterious dark purple shade. Try a telenovela-worthy shade of fuchsia. Go deeper with a blackberry shade for daring labios or you could use it as lip liner for ombre lips as part of your calavera makeup. A deep chocolate shade could also pose a fierce vibe. Whatever lippie you choose, wear it proudly and unapologetically. Some colors you may be able to play with around your eye area as well.

Wet-Dry Eyeshadow Palette

Filling in the circles you created around each eye in your Day of the Dead makeup—from the top of the eyebrows to the lower edge of your eye sockets—gives you a chance to have so much fun playing with eyeshadow colors. You can mix and match and blend colors endlessly with a high-quality quad of eyeshadows. Some eyeshadows can be applied with a wet brush for a more intense, higher-impact look too. Experiment with bright yellow, black, purple, metallic green, or copper. Highly saturated and pearlized eyeshadows go very well together.
