I just love this. Ciara has been wearing some wigs lately that do not do her full justice, so this cover is like a reawakening for me. It's SO good. The color, the shape, the gleam in her eye. I want to hang out with this person, and I would also want to hear at length about her skincare regimen -- which, as it turns out, is the crux of the cover. Celebrity skincare lines are the new celebrity-owned alcohols, which were the new cookbooks/lifestyle manuals, which were the new ghostwritten YA novels, which were the new clothing lines, which were kind of the new perfumes. It is not a shock that Ciara has one, because it seems like everyone does, and all of them say theirs is different but are sort of vague on how and why. [But, in an interview that has some cute stories and asides, I like Ciara's spirit here](https://www.allure.com/story/ciara-cover-interview-november-2022?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) in addressing whether she's stepping into a saturated market:

> *She does, however, notice that she has joined a kind of sisterhood. “You look around and you’re starting to see more women building out their beauty brands. I think that’s pretty amazing because it shows the power of how you can really build something if you desire to, and it’s also showing you the power of your platform. \[...\] As far as the competitive part of it, all I know is what I built, and I know what I built is something special, and I believe in that. I think whenever something is right, if people receive it, it rises on its own way.”*

She's right that if the stuff is GOOD, it will stand the test of time -- look at the way people swear by Fenty, for example -- so she might as well treat this like a rising tide that floats all boats and then just make sure hers doesn't develop a hole. [*Allure* ran a whole thing in August about Ciara's line On a Mission](https://www.allure.com/story/ciara-skin-care-line-on-a-mission-oam-review?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and she did make a point of saying that they tested theirs on almost 100 women with every tone [on the Fitzpatrick scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick%5Fscale?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which measures both pigment and how skin reacts to the sun, and implies this is not common practice. In sum: Everything uses Vitamin C; it's not incredibly expensive, so you can affordably sample it to see if it's better for you than the other bajillion products that use Vit-C and hope that you too will look like Ciara someday; and I would 100 percent try this before Jared Leto's forthcoming line.
