Día De Los Muertos begins on November 1st and ends on November 2nd. For those that wish to participate and look the part as well, [SilviaMBeauty](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSThxhde60u2FGPuJQtqaJw) has put together a handy guide for her sugar skull makeup. While the design is fun and cool, it's important to remember that there's a lot of meaning in the sugar skull's design.

It's not all about sugar skulls though, remembering family members who've passed away matters a great deal. Part of the holiday is creating an altar, or "ofrenda." The flowers, the beads and even the colors have great significance.
