It's all about beauty this October. Lea Salonga is having a mod moment on our cover and sports iconic looks from the '50s until the '90s inside the issue. For the first time in Preview history, our very own cover girl pens her own story and shares her thoughts on The Voice, the rise of social media, being a mom, and meeting George Takei on the set of her new Broadway show, Allegiance.

This month, we listen to music with Jess Connelly for My Life in Beauty, exchange emails with Garance Doré for her new book, talk thrift-shopping with Shaira Luna, and Jason Magbanua answers 25 Questions. We also give you an exclusive peek into the the beauty bond between these makeup artists and their muses: Albert Kurniawan and Heart Evangelista, Gela laurel-Stehmeier and Sarah Lahbati, Krist Bansuelo and Maricar Reyes-Poon, Mickey See and Liza Soberano, and Cristine Duque and Megan Young.
Plus, find out what #BandForBreastCancer is all about with models Apples Aberin and Sam Sadhwani, Fatima Rabago and Hideo Muraoka, Ornusa Cadness and Sanya Smith, and Carla and Sam Humphries. Lastly, learn how to do the self-breast exam using the FREE Preview scarf and easy step-by-step guide that comes with the issue! #LeaForPreview
