"Crafting a Catrina is like
writing a poem,
each detail and
every brush stroke
has a purpose,
it's magic"

Based in Toronto Canada, Catrinas Makeup & Design founder and artist, Maria José Miranda has had the select privilege of executing Day of the Dead artistic makeup for many performers, since 2013.
Throughout the years, Miranda has acquired a wide collection of authentic Mexican wardrobes, with unique pieces from Oaxaca, Michoacán, Jalisco and Chiapas, to name a few. With her work, she looks to capture the vivid colours and workmanship of traditional Mexican clothing and accessories, while exhibiting her artistic creations. Her carefully crafted Catrinas captivate any venue or event; models are transformed into something spectacular, a true feast for the eyes.
Transforming into a "Catrina" or "Catrin" is an experience worth capturing, as it will be cherished for a lifetime. There is no greater reward than to hear from my clients that their makeup was so beautifully executed, they were saddened to remove it. This, is precisely what I love to hear, and this has now become my mission, to create the ultimate Catrina experience!
