Victoria Justice kicked off her acting career at the ripe age of 10, so she’s practically grown up in the spotlight. From her supporting role on Zoey 101 to headlining Victorious, this girl knows how to play the part. She’s an actress, singer, and philanthropist, but with her chestnut brown hair, bold brows, and penchant for classic looks, she’s also become a major beauty icon.
She’s not one to go too bold with hair or makeup, but she is the master of making subtle changes to her trademark look. She’s had short hair, long hair, bangs, and bright lips, but she always makes sure she looks like herself. From her fresh-faced early days to her current long locks, see Victoria Justice’s beauty transformation here.

But she knows when to go glam, too. For the 2009 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party, Victoria stood out with a bright red pout, super rosy cheeks, and extra long lashes. A deep side part made the look a bit dressier and showed off her makeup even more.
