6 Simple Tips for Creating Your Dia de los Muertos Makeup Looks

Are you ready to create your Dia de los Muertos makeup? The Mexican holiday will be here before you know it. Now is a great time to start practicing your La Catrina makeup or sugar skull looks at home or start gathering inspiration for the celebration. 

Blue Liquid Eyeliner

Latina makeup brands like Reina Rebelde offer colorful, authentic Latina makeup and Day of the Dead makeup tutorials you can watch on their website. Get ready to transform yourself and perfect your sugar skull makeup looks with the following tips.

Get Creative and Have Fun

It’s entirely up to you on how you want to honor lost loved ones and celebrate culture. Just remember there’s no wrong way to create your Day of the Dead makeup looks. Some mujeres keep their sugar skulls traditional and relatively simple while others go with more elaborate or glam looks. There are some amazingly creative and beautiful Dia de los Muertos makeuplooks to be had.

Start with a White Base

The easiest way to create your calavera makeup is by starting with a white makeup foundation instead of face paint. Use a sponge or brush to evenly spread your foundation and provide overall face coverage. You may also find it beneficial to lightly dust your face with white setting powder after applying foundation to help keep your makeup in place.

Bring Your Eyes to Life

Bring your eye sockets to life with vibrant colors that will serve as the focal point for your La Catrina’s eyes. Think about eyeshadow shades in yellow, orange, and purple. Seek out gorgeous eyeshadow quads that would be perfect because they are easily blendable. On your top lids and below your bottom lash line, apply black eyeshadow. Watch how easy it looks in this La Catrina makeup tutorial.

Draw a Flower Pattern Around Your Eyes

Frame your eye sockets by drawing a flower petal pattern, using black or even blue liquid eyeliner. Use liquid eyeliner to create vertical stitch marks around your mouth and as the outline of your skull’s teeth. Find an easy-to-use eyeliner with a great, felt-tip applicator. Look for a water-resistant and fade-proof eyeliner, so your candy skull makeup lasts.

Use Liquid Eyeliner for Your Nose

Your sugar skull makeup isn’t complete without a nose. Draw two half triangles with liquid eyeliner—one on each side of your nose, and fill in the space. Add touches of gold eyeshadow or glitter on the bridge of your nose. You may want to practice your drawing skills and expect that it might not be perfect the first time you try it. Most importantly, it’s your celebration of culture, so be authentically you this Dia de los Muertos.

Go for a Bold Lip

Whether it’s a classic red or a telenovela-worthy fuchsia, go for colorful and bold lips to bring your La Catrina makeup to life. Play with creating an ombre lip with multiple colors to add dimension to your overall look. Oct. 31 is just around the corner.
