Skull

Sugar skull or sugar skull is mainly found in USA or Mexico. At least since Disney’s film Coco, the famous colorful skull has become a popular Halloween make-up for young and old.

The story behind the Sugar Skull is related to Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead, which is celebrated in Mexico from October 31st to November 2nd.

While we celebrate All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day very seriously, in Mexico it’s more of a kind of folk festival, which is mainly colorful and celebrated with the well-known and decorated sugar skulls.

Colorful Sugar Skull makeup for Halloween

Sugar Skulls don’t always have to be brightly colored, but the costumes are simply more impressive with the brightly colored face.

Of course, the whole thing takes longer and it takes a bit of skill until it looks the way you want it to. It is easiest if you think about which shapes and colors you want to use beforehand. The eyes and the mouth are always important.

Halloween’s Sugar Skull in black and white

If you don’t feel like color or prefer an elegant “black-and-white”, you can of course create the Sugar Skull with just these two colors.

These two-tone sugar skulls are no less elaborate or less beautiful. But they often look a bit nobler and, above all, more mysterious than the colorful models.

The focus of the black and white sugar skull make-up is also on the mouth and nose.

Half measures with sugar skull makeup

There aren’t many Halloween makeups that you can even use half of. The half make-ups are also very popular with the Sugar Skulls.

On the one hand, it doesn’t take that long, on the other hand, you don’t have to be afraid that the left side looks different than the right one.

Here again, you can decide for yourself whether you want it in color or just in black and white, but as always the eyes and the mouth are decisive.

Crystal Sugar Skull with Bling Bling

Another way to use the sugar skull as Halloween makeup is to do it not with paint and makeup, but with flat backs.

Stones and crystals are unusual examples, but if you want to stay traditional, you need colorful stones in different sizes that can be easily and purposefully glued to the face.

Stones can be used to bring a little more colored contour into the makeup, as they can be used specifically as eye-catchers.
