Karen Walker, Worst Makeup 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

I have always wondered why designers like to make their models look as bad as they possibly can? Thakoon, horrible!

Reem Arca's inner and outer corner black eyeliner is a little too weird for me. And I didn't think Karen Walker's look was that bad (especially after seeing Rodarte's look)!

I just don't get the makeup they put on runway models. Guess I'm not fashionable.
