Allure April 2012 : Nicki Minaj by Michael Thompson

[fantastical]

I think that Nicki Minaj has a stunning face and I am disappointed that, of all magazines, a beauty focused one like Allure did not come up with a cover image that showcased her great face.

I know, aside from all her gimmicks and attention to her other...assets - she has such a beautiful face
I would have expected Allure to have showcased that as well

Does the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race get an Allure cover now?

She looks horrible

Let's be real, a cover with a RuPaul's Drag Race winner would have looked better than this mess.

I would love the ladies of RuPaul's Drag Race to turn up in the magazine, because they know more about make-up than most celebrities would, and when I read Allure, that's what it's all about - pages filled with slightly absurd content, like the launch of super-performance lipsticks and the latest research into the effects of looking at yourself in the mirror. Oh, and the usually more-than-decent editorials.

While Nicki might look like an uncomfortable clown on the front, at least she's sporting a full face of slap - unlike that Kim Kardashian cover, where Allure took someone who is known for their perfect make-up, and tried to run a feature where that was minimised, somehow missing the point of why someone might want to read about her in a beauty magazine.

The best thing about this issue is Anna V, she looks gorgeous, great clothes and lush setting. Have to agree that Nicki looks like a clown, they couldve done so much more with her

The cover/ed is horrible, its like when you think its a good idea, but it truly isn't!

And i do resent that Supermodel feature, mostly because in the interviews they didnt come out as women who are proud of their age but the opposite, and its incredibly sad. Christie even mummbling her age?!
