This chic braided look has us "ooh"-ing. Start by creating a deep side part and gathering hair into a low ponytail. Smooth strong hold gel (we like Pantene Pro-V Classic Total Control Gel, $4.99) over the front of hair for an ultra-sleek finish. Then divide the pony into two sections and braid each section, securing the ends. Fold the braids and pin horizontally into a long barrette shape at the base of your hairline. Use hairspray (like Redken Quick Dry 18 Instant Finishing Spray, $13), to keep it all in place. -- Sarah, Assistant Editor

Bold edgy makeup is fun -- not to wear, but to look at. Even so, this dramatic yellow and crimson combo is too much. Even the models look less than desirable in yellow smoky eyes. A thin line of yellow eye pencil might work in real life, but full-blown canary eyes -- especially paired with red lips -- shouldn't be tried at home. -- Kristen, Senior Editor

The only thing worse than sickly red eyes is pairing them with a goth lip. Though the pinkish red is sparingly used in the corners of the eyes, the overall look is just a bit too close to the designer's "Japanese horror flick" vision for comfort. -- Charli, Associate Editor

This pale-faced goth look with a powder pink lip looks great on the models, but for us normal people, it would result in a barrage of, "Are you OK? You look so pale!" comments all day. Warm up the look by putting a bit of color on cheeks. -- Sarah, Assistant Editor

This disheveled, styled-by-a-tornado-looking updo just doesn't translate to real life -- even according to the genius stylist behind the look. It's a masterpiece really, just not one most women would care to wear. -- Kristen, Senior Editor
