Dia De Los Muertos, known as Day of the Dead, is a Mexican cultural celebration that honors friends and family who have died.
While Day of the Dead is traditionally celebrated on November 1-2, it isn’t connected to the spooky holiday of Halloween, though many ornate makeup looks are seen on this day due to its intricate designs.
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.
According to MUA artist Judith Batista, people display their loved ones' favorite foods and tell stories of memories tied to them.
This celebration is a unique way to pay respect to the dead with ornate makeup looks and traditional altars.
