This Year’s Dia de los Muertos Look

November 2, 2014 By Jenna 6 Comments

Last year I went a little tame. This year I added a more color – pink. Ellen approved this year unlike last year when I was told I am “never allowed to put that makeup on again.” Yeah, like her work isn’t scarier:

Anyway, here is how I knocked ’em dead.

Does anyone have any good tips on taking impromptu photos in poor lighting?

not the most precise job, but we had a room full of costumed drinkers waiting on us

I tried a spade nose this year along with flowered eyes and rhinestones

a trip to Goodwill for a lacy dress completes the look

I was a little surprised that I saw so many sugar skulls at the festival we went to. But, we were in southern Florida, and I know there is a large Hispanic population in that area. So, maybe I shouldn’t have been so shocked. I’m used to having to explain what the hell I am to Midwesterners.

Next year I’d like to get a higher quality white base as well as a liquid black liner for smoother edges. I think I will also try some shading with multiple colors too. What would you like to see me do next year?

    Looks great! We went out to dinner on Halloween and out waitress had half her face as a Muertos skull and it was very gorgeous. (The other half was not painted, by the way, it wasn’t half skull and half dinosaur or anything!) Made me think of you. Today is your birthday, no? If I’m getting that right, Many Happy Returns!
