Mystical mariposas
We love the use of monarch butterflies to inspire this high-contrast Day of the Dead makeup. Brightly colored wings adorn the shoulders and their red, orange and yellow hues decorate the face with hearts, flowers and beautiful, intricate details.

Dearly departed grunge
This sugar skull features a smoky, grunge-inspired palette giving us contrast to some of the more colorful skeletons. Deep burgundy lips and charcoal-rimmed eyes set the tone for this sophisticated, yet edgy look.

Bright bones
The use of neon pink gives a modern feel to this half-skeleton makeup look. The eyes are all glam with a pink smoky eye. That same pink is used from the nose down to highlight the "exposed" nasal cavity and glowing mandible.

Media muerte
This look is half-dead and full-on gorgeous. Red lips and a glimmering, smoky eye on the left side, the right side features dark, lacy cutouts, resembling the prettiest vision of death you can imagine.

Colorful corpse
Black and white skeleton makeup gets a pick-me-up from colorful facial contouring. The true standout is the foiled, rainbow ombre eye makeup.
