Sasha La Catrina on TikTok

The wave travels under three tags: #fairytalecatrina (the format), #lacatrina (the holiday) and #sashalacatrina (the CapCut template name the Spanish side uses). The sound is "Adiós señora bonita" from The Book of Life — Đan Thy's second video put the line on the reveal and passed 31M plays, and every copy since rides it.

Timing is the trend's hidden ingredient: it climbs into its peak on Día de Muertos, November 1-2, when the whole feed is ofrendas and marigolds, and it falls away right after. #fairytalecatrina was taking about 72 new posts a day at the peak, with the template used 83 times a day.

ViralReel does not host TikToks and is not affiliated with TikTok or the original creators. The clip keeps the sample's original sound — "Adiós señora bonita" from The Book of Life is the one the trend rides. If the sound is missing from your download, add it inside TikTok from the in-app library, and turn on the AI label. ViralReel does not license the song. Use photos of yourself, your family, or your pet. Do not pass the output off as real face paint, and keep the AI-generated label on when you post — the whole point of the look is that it was drawn, not painted.

1. Pick a reveal, upload one photo. Open the Sasha La Catrina template, pick the reveal you want from the sample list — the flower toss, the ofrenda hands-over-face, the Catrín, or the pet versions — and upload one clear front-facing photo. Face toward the camera, hands away from the face, waist-up if you want the gown. For a pet, a photo where the whole head and its markings show. JPG, PNG, and WebP work.
2. Generate the transformation. The clip's reveal, camera, gown and sound are all pre-built — your photo only supplies the face. Check the credit cost shown before you start and generate. The AI keeps your face under the sugar-skull paint and rebuilds the gown, the candles and the petals around it at the clip's own length.
3. Download the MP4. Download the vertical MP4 when the render finishes — the reveal lands on the marigold light, with the sample's original sound already kept. Paid credit packs and monthly plans export without a ViralReel watermark.
4. Post with the trend sound and the AI label. Post on TikTok under #fairytalecatrina, #lacatrina and #sashalacatrina — or on Reels and Shorts. If the sound is missing from your download, add "Adiós señora bonita" (from The Book of Life) from the in-app library, and turn on the AI-generated label where the platform asks. The trend peaks on Día de Muertos, November 1-2.
