How do we know the Day of the Dead is one of the most important celebrations in Mexico and much of Latin America.If you want a simple costume and at the same time look spectacular, we give you several ideas of simple and creative costumes that you can make for all festivities this season.
Catrina
This costume is elegant and easy to achieve. You will need an elegant hat, a long dress or a formal suit. Use white makeup for the entire face, colored shadows on the eyes and lips, and draw details of jewels and flowers on the face and neck. Explore and get out of your comfort zone!
Scarecrow
For simple and creative costumes, this is a great option. If you are looking for a more fun and colorful outfit, a scarecrow may be the perfect choice. Wear clothes that have patches, and add elements such as a straw hat, gloves and a bird mask. It’s a look ideal if you want to be comfortable.
Flowers and butterflies
This idea is perfect if you want to highlight beauty and life on the Day of the Dead. You can wear a light-colored dress or suit and add a lot of brightly colored flowers to your look, both in your hair and on the dress. If you want a much more elaborate outfit, you can add butterfly wings to give it a more unique and magical touch.
Mermaids
If you want a creative mermaid costume, use a net to drape over your hair to create a ‘fishtail’ or scale effect. Add accessories like shells, starfish or pearls in your hair to give it a touch of the sea. You can choose a fishtail-shaped skirt or use shiny, tight fabric to simulate a mermaid one. Combine your garment with a top or bra in navy tones, such as blue or turquoise.
Witches
A peaked hat in dark tones and a black look is the best option for last minute costumes. Also, add a fun touch to your look with a broom, since it will be the most fun and creative accessory of the entire party.
Disney couples
If you want a couple costume original, do not hesitate to look for Disney combos. They are memorable outfits that you can make yourself. Remember that the most important thing is to enjoy with your partner and good company.
