Ciara has been one of our beauty crushes since she released her hit “Goodies” in 2004, but in the past few years, she’s been responsible for some seriously head-turning hair and makeup looks. She’s experimented with different lengths, textures, and colors when it comes to her hair, while her radiant skin has become one of the most enviable complexions in Hollywood.
