Trust us, these are not your run-of-the-mill, found-it-at-the-dollar-store tattoos. These intricate designs will make people do a double-take. "Is that a real tattoo?!" they'll gasp. Nah, it's just you slaying the game. Plus, the price is so good, you'll want to stock up. Hurry though; this collection gets sold out faster than you can say "boo!"

Other must-haves for the upcoming steps include:

• Red eyeshadow and black kohl pencil for that eerie eye magic
• The most dramatic false eyelashes you can find
• A captivating shade of red lipstick that compliments yet contrasts your eyeshadow
• Face paint or makeup for that ghostly white cheek effect
• Hauntingly beautiful face gems
• A white wig that screams both "angelic" and "haunting"

Now that you've summoned all your supplies, it's time to get those tattoos applied and let your skin tell a Halloween story of its own. This isn't your grandma's game of stick-and-peel. We're taking the temporary tattoo art to a whole new level of awesomeness. 

Ready for the next level?

First, clean your skin. Make sure it's dry and free from lotions or makeup. Trim your chosen tattoo designs and place them face-down on your skin.

Next, grab a wet cottonette. Press it firmly on the tattoo's paperback. Soak the paper well for a smooth transfer. Wait 30 seconds. Maybe hum your favorite Halloween tune while you do.

Finally, peel off the paper carefully. And there you have it! You're not just "inked up." You're a Halloween masterpiece on the move.

Go ham with red eyeshadow and black kohl pencil, creating a dreamy yet slightly eerie look that'll make people wonder if you're cute or if they should run away (spoiler: it's both),

Next, level up those lashes. And when we say level up, we mean like skyscrapers high, people! Go in with the most exaggerated falsies you can find. Double-stack them if you've gotta! Flutter those lashes so hard they create a breeze every time you blink.

Eye makeup and lashes are on point. Now, let's complete the picture.

First, add a Tribal tattoo around your neck. These tattoos aren't ordinary. Their complex designs will elevate your broken doll vibe.

Next, go for bold red lipstick. Pick a shade that matches your eyeshadow but still pops. Aim for a look that's both beautiful and a bit eerie. Turn your cheeks a ghostly white with some makeup, and then adorn them with hauntingly shimmering face gems.

Finally, put on a white wig. It gives an otherworldly touch and blurs the line between cute and creepy. Style it to suit your overall vibe, whether that's wavy or a chic updo.

You've inked up, you've got your face beat, but hold up—don't go Insta-snapping just yet! We're onto the pièce de résistance: accessories. Because let's be real, a broken doll costume without the extra frills is like a pumpkin spice latte without the whip—still fab, but not quite complete.

First, dive into that closet or hit up your fave store and snag a frilly dress that screams, "I'm a doll, but make it fashion...and also kinda creepy." Lace, ruffles, puffy sleeves—the whole nine yards. Your dress is the stage, and your tattoos and makeup are the stars. Shine, baby, shine! 

Don't even think about skimping on bows. We’re talking bows in your hair, bows on your dress, maybe even a bowtie if you're feeling dapper. Bows are like the cherries on top of your broken doll look. Oh, and think sizes, from tiny cute bows to "oh wow, that's a statement" bows.

Okay, so you’ve got your dress and your bows, but you’re still feeling like something’s missing? Enter ribbons! Use them as belts, wrap them around your wrists or use them as chokers. The idea is to be as adorable as possible while also channeling that sinister "I might be haunted" vibe.

If you really want to be the talk of the ghost town, go for some unexpected add-ons. Think babydoll shoes, lacy gloves, or even a creepy vintage doll to carry around. Get creative; your accessory game should be as extra as your personality.
