She is a strong visual image depicting how the Mexican people see death and the afterlife. Different cultures have diverse traditions in regards to death and how they deal with it individually and as a family. Mexico is very unique in their views of this fact of life and prefers to take it good-humoredly and passionately. That is not to say that they don’t grieve and miss a loved one who passes away. What it means is that they choose to celebrate the life and memories the person created while they were with them instead of indulging in the fact that they are gone forever. But we do decorate it more starting mid-to-late-October. We had a death in the family in July, our matriarch, my Nina Marina, and I know it’s going to be extra emotional because she was the one who taught us to create the altar,” she says. “And now she’ll be on it for the first time.” Californian Hispanic and Latin Americans celebrate Day of the Dead with a parade and altars commemorating departed family and friends at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

She's an expert at writing makeup stories that range from witch makeup tutorials to the best gel eyeliners. She's an authority in all makeup categories, but after speaking to—and learning from—Mexican-American artists and designers regarding Día de los Muertos, she feels knowledgable on the topic. Her Day of the Dead makeup looks include all Mexican-American artists. Here is an image of the Cemetery of the Dead. Notice how the events are being carried by skull humans, therefore symbolizing the dead. This image is one of the many methods by which the Mexican people represent the spirit of the dead, showing how even the dead live a normal life in the spirit world.

To prepare for the spirits' arrival, people will make altars that include photos of the deceased, sugar skulls, which represent death and rebirth, as well as the deceased's favorite foods and belongings. Mexico is that country full of colorful traditions and a vibrant culture that expands past the beautiful vacation beaches, resorts, and friendly people. The country is worth visiting for many reasons; like its extraordinary culinary distinctiveness, archeological sights, and also for its diversity of festivals. Mexico has many local customs that are typical to specific areas of the country, but some deep-rooted traditions and events are celebrated throughout the country. On that day, you put all the food on the altar, Flores Juarez says, because Nov. 2 is when the adult souls return and more personal belongings are placed on the altar. By Nov. 3, they begin to say goodbye to their dearly departed. "That's why the fruit spoils and it doesn't taste the same... It means they have eaten it and have taken it with them," he says in Spanish.

The purpose of the Day of the Dead is primarily to remind people that life in the material world is ephemeral. It serves to remind observers of the age-old existential priorities, including family cohesion, community, and joy for the sake of it. Like many cultures, the holiday also stresses the importance of honoring ancestors and, by extension, remembering the values and traditions that have been passed down over generations. I was handed Aric’s wedding ring in a plastic bag at the hospital, five hours after Sam placed it on his finger and they read each other their vows,” his mother wrote. “Aric has lost the love of his life.” My dad is from Mexico and my mom is second-generation Mexican American,” she shares. “Several years ago, I started hearing about it and seeing more of the celebrations on social media and online. By then I had lost some relatives and the symbolism of remembering our loved ones during this time really affected me.” On the Day of the Dead, the Mexicans go to the graveyard to visit those who have passed away. They wear skull masks and formal wear, to pay respect. This helps them connect the dead to them, bringing a sense of connection. La Catrina: technically the correct term to use when referring to the elaborate, opulent skull makeup look for Día de Muertos that commonly features flowers and other rich embellishmentsSince I was little, I remember putting together the altar with photos of our loved ones and their favorite foods and drinks like rice and beans, birrote (bread), Mexican candy and liquor,” Carlos recalls. “We always went to downtown Los Angeles to the flower market to buy fresh marigolds for the altar. We would also make it a point to eat their favorite meals during this time.” The evening also included a performance by Mexican-American singer Ángela Aguilar and a dining experience curated by Enrique Olvera, the Mexican chef behind Mexico City’s Pujol.

The history of Day of the Dead As Bautista explains, "If you think about the roots of what it really means, it’s a day to honor your deceased loved ones, and there’s nobody who’s impartial to that—anybody can relate to that," she says. " The big thing is when people don’t respect the culture itself, or they’re interested in tying it into Halloween, and that one is sensitive to me, too. I do Halloween makeup all the time, but I’m very careful not to label one as the other. As a Mexican-American artist, that’s been my biggest mission: to celebrate our culture without letting the roots of it be taken away."

One of the strongest and most recognizable symbols of The Day of the Dead celebrations is the tall female skeleton wearing a fancy hat with feathers.

In this image, the setting in the graveyard symbolizes the dead, and the huge skull lives in it shows this belief. Bring out those paints and color this illustration to excellence, showing respect to those who have passed! The significance of the mask is that it’s a transformative part of a ritual. As you are dying, moving on to the next life, you’re putting on a mask so that you can still see yourself as you were,” Gabriel Avila, director of dance and theme at Hollywood Forever, tells TODAY.com. “It’s also an idealized version of who you want to continue to be. And even though you’ve transpired to another realm, whatever the beauty in the mask is, it still represents who you are and it carries that idea of the soul continuing to live forever.” Here is a girl celebrating the Day of the Dead. She has tattooed her face so that it looks like a skull. Skulls are used on the Day of the Dead for people to connect themselves with the dead.
