Lipstick: So do you do a blush with that also?
Jaclyn Hill: Yes. I do all the rest of my face makeup. I do contour, blush, then apples, then cheekbones.
Lipstick: That's amazing. How long does your full makeup routine normally take?
Jaclyn Hill: Well, on a day where I'm going more "natural glam" it takes about 40 minutes. But if it's like, I am going out, and I'm going all in with a winged liner, then it can take me anywhere between an hour and 15 to an hour and a half. The hour and a half is when it's like, I've got to look good. Like, I'm meeting the president tonight.
The Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eye Palette ($40): The colors are, from left to right: Chardonnay, a sheer gold with pink undertones; Champagne Toast, a deep peach with cinnamon tones; Cordial, a matte rose; Cognac, a matte light brown; and Bordeaux, a matte wine color.
Emily KempLipstick: Tell us more about the eye palette. What's your favorite way to wear the colors?
Jaclyn Hill: I collaborated with Becca on it. I approved all the colors, but I really had my hand mostly in Champagne Toast, which is the pretty brown sugary shade that's second from the left. I worked very hard and very closely on that shade. I went through a bazillion samples. That color is my baby. I was very picky with it because I wanted it to be a champagne color on all skin tones. So you can wear that if you're the fairest of the fair or the darkest of the dark. It'll look a little different on everyone, but it'll look good on everyone. I love it.
