## Caption

Ever wonder where that ornate #skull face paint everyone wears for Halloween comes from? In Mexico on Dia de los Muertos, children often receive these beautiful sugar skulls or #calaveras in the same way we give out trick or treat candy on Halloween. Others are made of clay and are offered to the dead All Saints Day the following day. So next time your friend paints their face, make sure to tell them they look sweet. #halloween #diadelosmuertos #mexico
