Hill announced on Thursday that Jaclyn Cosmetics is launching its first line of permanent products on March 2. The new collection includes baked blush and bronzer duos, new highlighters, and a rerelease of Hill's limited-edition 2019 holiday collection - now sold in new packaging and individual shades.
I previously covered Hill's beauty-brand troubles extensively, and I personally found her latest launch to be a bit messy. That being said, I also feel her brand has created some great products throughout the chaos - and her highlighters have even become staples of my routine.

The latter group of products will now be permanent items in Hill's line. This time around, they'll be sold in new packaging and individual shades rather than in palettes.
All 21 shades also range in price and formula. There are baked highlights, loose shimmers, and all-over powders available, and the products will cost between $16 and $32.

I've used the influencer's highlighters almost exclusively since the end of 2019
The best formula of the range, in my opinion - and the one I'd most recommend trying - is Hill's Accent Light highlighter.
The baked formula feels smooth and silky on my skin, and I've found that its bright glow lasts all day, even without primer or setting spray. I also love how you can apply one swipe for a subtle-yet-shining glow, or layer the product to create the appearance of glistening skin.

I'd also highly recommend the brand's Mood Light Powders. Back in 2019, I thought the product made my face look cakey and textured, but after experimenting with different ways to use the powder, I've grown to love it.
I personally like wearing it on top of my face makeup as a setting powder. It gives my face a natural-looking glow, and I always get compliments on my skin while wearing it.
The Jaclyn Cosmetics Beaming Light highlighters are also impressive. In my experience, the loose powders pack a punch on the skin and give you the vibrant glow you often see beauty YouTubers wearing in their videos.
I personally don't wear this product very often, as it's a bit strong for my taste, but I'd still suggest it to people who prefer full-glamour makeup looks.
At the end of the day, Hill has a long history of chaotic product launches, some of which turned out to be seemingly dangerous - so I understand why some people might be hesitant to purchase her products.

That being said, if you're debating on giving Jaclyn Cosmetics a chance, the brand's highlighters are the perfect place to start.
