Beautiful! I'm planning on doing A Dia de Los Muertos sugar skull lady too, but I haven't practiced the makeup yet! I love the blue that you used! Are those jewels?

thank you so much! i used craft jewels (white and blue, different sizes) and applied them with eye lash glue. I wish i had more time to put more on but my guests started to arrive!!! I had some great feather eyelashes too that i didn't have time to put on. It was a lot of fun!

Just out of curiosity, what did you wear? I originally wanted to find a traditional Mexican dress, but I decided to save money and wear a 1950's style pin-up dress because I saw a lot of that in my google image search. Do you think that will be ok?

I wore a black shirt that had a ruffle all around the neck and a layered ruffle skirt that was turquoise and black. The skirt was actually a witch costume that I modified. The pin up idea sounds fantastic! I would do that!!! I love that look. Good luck! And post a picture!!
