Teen Vogue EIC Amy Astley on Beauty Faux Pas of the 1980s!

During the fifth annual Teen Vogue Readers' Choice Awards earlier this week, teens' 47 best-of picks were honored with a breakfast awards ceremony. But what about the beauty moments of the editors behind the mag's pages? Chic chatted hair nightmares and got the dish on the beauty closet with Teen Vogue beauty and heath director Eva Chen.

We actually think that The Teen Vogue Handbook is a great idea. It’s a perfect, organized guide for a girl who never wanted to be a lawyer, a doctor, or a real estate agent and wants to work in our weird, little industry. But the video to promote the book is less than stellar. Amy Astley looks great on film–but the poor, overworked interns on the B-roll footage do not. They are buried under garment bags. And then they do it again. And again. Are you still sure you want to work in fashion?

Get creative for a good cause -- of your choosing!

There are only few days left this week. So, what are you eating in the a.m. hours?

Broiled egg, piece of brown toast. I eat a little bit less. I’m inspired by the models!
