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.

Linda Wells is amazing from another viewpoint.  She has managed to remain at the helm of her magazine for 15 years which is legendary in her field.
