If dressing up for Halloween seems like too much work, we hear you — dealing with the wigs, faux eyelashes, fake . . . blood can be a lot! Fret not, we have a lazy-girl solution that takes minimal time and effort but will still make you stand out. We took the hottest trend in beauty right now — flash tattoos — and dreamed up 10 golden (pun intended) Halloween costumes created out of these metallic pieces of temporary body art. Read on to see how you can transform into anyone from Beyoncé to Cleopatra and even Ariana Grande with just a little bit of gilt . . .
Beyoncé
Queen B has an affinity for Flash Tattoos herself, but copy her body chain with this faux version from the Dakota set. It looks sexy, plus you won't have to worry about it slipping off.

Greek Goddess
Make your best toga dress, pile your hair on your head in a loose, wavy updo, then use the Zahra set from Flash Tattoos as arm cuffs and hair decor. (Yes, you can apply the tattoos to your hair!)

The Childlike Empress
Kick it old-school with this throwback costume from The NeverEnding Story. Because you can adhere the tattoos to your hair, use the chain-like designs on the crown of your head, then create a medallion on your forehead with the jewel designs.

Rihanna

Cleopatra
For Cleopatra, use tattoos from the Nikki collection on your hair (black bob wig) for her gold accents, then adorn the rest of your body with gold designs.

Ariana Grande
Inspired by the "Break Free" video (Ariana's collaboration with Zedd), cut and apply tattoos from the Shebani collection to your forehead and temples. Go for silver, but gold will look stunning, too!
