Oh, Paris Fashion Week. You never disappoint us with your stop-and-stare designs. And we can't take our eyes off of the outrageous beauty looks from the Spring 2014 runways.
None of these wild makeup looks and hairstyles would translate into the real world. (Trust us, we've tested them out.) However, there are many lessons to be learned. Here are 11 that will steer us all in the right direction.
