The Dia de los Muertos makeup tradition, also known as "sugar skull makeup," is a popular Halloween makeup look. Mexican-American beauty experts give a history lesson on the Dia de los Muertos makeup tradition, from sugar skulls and skeletons to la Calavera. The traditional catrina makeup may resemble the skull-like effects popular every Halloween on the surface level, but the origins of the former are completely different. The Calavera, or sugar skull painting, has become a symbol from the start to celebrate Dia de Los Muertos, which is a way to celebrate loved ones that have died. The makeup products used to create sugar skull makeup include Mehron Paradise AQ foundation in white, which is activated with water and applied with a Kabuki brush. For drawing black lines, a thin brush dipped in Wolfe Water Based Makeup is used.
When doing easy skull makeup for Halloween, it is recommended to draw it from a photo reference. The products used to create the look include black and white eyeshadow, a cheap makeup brush set, and water-based theatrical makeup. The lightest whisper of black shadow is used to add little detail areas throughout the skull. Small shadow lines are added around the outer corners of the eyes and near the top and bottom edges of the jaw. Black shadow is used to shade around the edges of the face like contouring.
It is important to note that some makeup products may contain harmful ingredients that can irritate sensitive skin or cause unnecessary breakouts. The Pretty Scary 2 report by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reveals some truly scary facts about children’s cosmetic products, including Halloween face paint kits. Every single product tested positive for lead, and some face paints tested positive for arsenic. Therefore, it is important to choose makeup products that are safe and free from toxic ingredients.
