Halloween was yesterday—today we celebrate the Day of the Dead
Although Halloween and Día de los Muertos are not the same, you can make your next party something special. Decorate your home with skeletons and skulls, and ask everyone to come dressed as La Catrina, a guardian of spirits, or wearing a sugar skull look. We’ll show you how to transform yourself into La Catrina or a guardian of spirits
and apply Mexican Day of the Dead makeup.
La Catrina as a symbol of Día de los Muertos
Zum has become La Catrina, the skeleton lady. She was created by the Mexican engraver José Guadalupe Posada at the beginning of the 20th
century and became iconic through Diego Rivera’s painting “Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda.” The skeleton woman is characterized by her elegant clothing, impressive hat, and skull.
