 If you could only buy one magazine... November 27, 2005

I have been a very happy subscriber since I was 13.
Finding my first issue in 1994, in a recycling box in my building's laundry room was something I will never forget. I am still on that same subscription, 11 years later and I absolutely loved every issue.
This has beauty and fashion. No mindless pages of gossip and how to please your man manuals, this one is all pure beauty.
I can always read about the best salons, spas, new makeup products; ways to put your own shades in new combos on your face, how to have the best bubble bath ever or the glossiest hair, this magazine does it all.
I look forward every month to see what it will bring me.
I always hear my female friends asking me to teach them how to apply makeup since they like mine, and I cannot really you how many of those requests I got! I also get begged to go makeup and skincare shopping and I really think that how I shop, do makeup, hair and my overall physical appearance, I can thank Allure for putting some nice and pretty ideas in my head. I am not superficial where I focus so much on the makeup, I can read and think deep, yet this is one guilty pleasure that this magazine satisfied for me.
A very good beauty magazine March 13, 2004

Unlike the other major fashion/beauty magazines which put fashion first and beauty a distant second, the focus of "Allure" is 90% beauty, 10% fashion. In fact, "Allure" could dispense with the fashion section entirely; the clothes aren't interesting and the photo layout for the clothes is just plain dull. And the monthly article on an acting/recording star is a waste of space. But the makeup section and the beauty tips are great. One of my favorite sections is the Directory, which features top beauty salons in major cities around the country. For the past year "Allure" has also run a monthly makeover section featuring two women who underwent a year-long makeover mostly dedicated to losing weight and shaping up; the subjects are women readers can identify with. "Allure" is one of the few fashion/beauty magazines to regularly feature models of all ethnic groups in their editorial pages with makeup shades that look good on women of every shade from ebony to ivory. One of "Allure"'s greatest strengths is that they don't pander to any makeup company or brand; they are upfront about what works and what doesn't. They have also run some serious articles about the pluses and negatives of cosmetic surgery and the risks involved. In the world of fashion/beauty magazines, "Allure" occupies a special niche of its own.

If you're looking for more of a fashion mag try Marie Claire or Glamour but this magazine is great if you are into the never-ending trends of hair and makeup!
By FAR the best beauty magazine around! October 27, 2001

From the moment I picked up this magazine at a friend's house ten years ago, I was hooked. It has consistently remained one of my favorite magazines over the years, too, while others have come and gone.
The best thing about it is that it's not just about which lipstick the beauty editors have decided to push for fall. They also focus on helping women to feel better about themselves. There are some really amazing articles about the issues that women face, regarding their looks. Whether it's the pain they felt as they watched their younger sister battle obesity, or perhaps the scars that they've come to see as a testament to their strength, and not as an imperfection. It really does inspire those of us who are "regular" women.
They have amazing contributors, as well, such as Garren, Bobbi Brown, and Sally Herschberger. And last, but not least, they have the FABULOUS Kevyn Aucoin...every month! Who could ask for anything more??? Buy it. You'll l!ove it!
Love it October 27, 2001

Allure is a magazine I have been getting for years. It has great short articles about everything from makeup to hair. I find this magazine useful with there tips and tricks of the trades. The one downfall to this magazine is I think that there fashion is just a little to trend.
