There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book, but it's obviously even better when that book is about something you passionately adore. And what do we love here at Allure headquarters more than fashion and beauty? Nothing, folks, nothing. Lucky for us, there's a laundry list of fashion and beauty books to choose from—among our favorites include a deep dive into the dos and don'ts of skin care by a famed aesthetician, a history lesson on how a beloved brand got started (hello, Manic Panic), and a guide to how to get your shopping habit under control. Of course, there's more where that came from, too.
Considering the state of the world, it's safe to say there's no better time to cozy up at home with a great new read than now. With this in mind, we went ahead and rounded up the fashion and beauty books that we could read over and over again. Ahead, check out 12 amazing reads that are worth adding to your collection, according to Allure editors.
