Day Of The Dead

Dia De Los Muertos or Day Of The Dead is a Mexican holiday that is celebrated particularly in Mexico but also in other cultures around the world, where family and friends gather to pray and remember other family members or friends that have died. They honour the dead by decorating altars with sugar skulls and marigolds and painting the faces.

I decided to look at this celebration as it tied in with my previous research on 'The Skeleton Tribe'.

These are a couple of pictures I found and liked of day of the dead make up, I like how some of the designs can be pretty and others can just generally be terrifying. I think the second one looks so good with the bones painted onto the arms.

This is a picture of Lady GaGa from her video Born This Way, the make up looks amazing and i love her hair in the video with the long ponytail in pink, I also think how they have painted a brain like design on the mans head looks really good but also gruesome!

Here is the music video to born this way.
