Dia De Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican cultural celebration where people honor their deceased friends and family with intricate makeup looks.
Traditionally celebrated on November 1-2, this holiday is not connected to Halloween, despite often coinciding with it.
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 pay reverence by displaying their loved ones' favorite foods and sharing stories of memories tied to them.
Respectful tribute to the dead.
