NEW YORK Linda Wells takes beauty seriously. It's the key to Allure magazine, which Wells has led as editor in chief since the magazine launched 15 years ago.
Until then, beauty was barely covered in glossy magazines and when it was, it was to guide women to the best lipstick shade to complement that season's top fashion color. But Wells (and publisher Conde Nast) thought there was an appetite for more, considering most women want to know about looking their best and most women know that looking their best takes more than a new lipstick shade.
The first issue explored animal testing and silicone breast implants - in addition to the latest color cosmetics trends.
"We gave beauty the kind of seriousness and analysis it had never had before," Wells says.
Ha, I read this at the same time I got the new Allure!
It really is a good magazine.
And, I...I've got nothing to offer you, no no, just this heart deep and true, which you say you don't need...Know in your soul, please...For haven't you me, with you now? And I love you, I love you...
