The wardrobe is something very important in Halloween costumes and it is something that perfectly complements our makeup, that is why it is important that we look for the appropriate accessories, but you can also give it a different touch, moving away from the classic a bit, for example, you could dress like a rocker with him catrina makeup or a little more feminine, give it your own style, but never forget to decorate your hair with the beautiful flowers of this tradition.
You should always take into account what makeup you are using and how it could affect your skin or not, it is very important that it is a product that does not cause adverse reactions on your skin, to check it you can apply a little on the back of the wrist or on the neck behind the ears, wait about 20 minutes and if there are still no signs of reaction you can use it, This is especially important for girls who have very sensitive skin, who suffer from allergies or who are not used to wearing fancy makeup.
It is very important that this makeup is done with great respect, as it is a very beautiful and spiritual tradition in Mexico, so even though your makeup is perfect for Halloween, we must use it with respect.
