Jaclyn Hill is a widely known YouTube star and a beauty guru from the United States that has a huge fanbase that follow her tutorials religiously.
She is amongst most richest and most respectable female Youtubers ever, especially after her collaboration with Kim Kardashian which gave her great popularity.
Early years
Jaclyn was born on July 20th 1990 in Mineral, Illinois, United States by the name Jaclyn Roxanne Eilers and spent most all of her early childhood in that place.
She has German and French roots but loves to be an Amerixan citizen. She loves that everything happens in the United States and she can be there for all of her events without constantly travelling.
Jaclyn spend her early years on the family farm. That farm was in her family for more than 4 generation but the family decided that they should move out because of Jaclyn father’s missionary work.
Jaclyn has two siblings, both older than her, a sister called Rachel and a brother called Nicholas. They grew up together with their parents James and Robin.
Jacyln’s father James is an extremely religious person and wanted to be an evangelist so in 1998 he took his kids and his wife to Florida. They settled in a town called Tampa where he hoped he could do important work as a preacher.
Before he became a preacher, he was seeiously injured. Both of his legs were wounded and therefore he wasn’t able to work on a farm anymore. This impacted the whole family and made them move out of their farm.
Her father was convinced that it was a divine force that turned him to relocate from the farm to start preaching somewhere else.
Jaclyn’s father felt like he was called by God to start working as a missionary so he decided to take his family with him to travel to different contires.
Some of them were India and Honduras where they were preaching Christianity and helped the ones in need.
As a teenager, Jaclyn was doing cheerleading and was very good at it and after some time she was coaching Wildcats, a cheerleader group due to her great coreography skills.
While she was cheerleading, she wore braces for a year which was a bit hard for her because it made her even more self-conscious, but she said that it was worth it because she has beautiful teeth now.
Jayclyn was always homeschooled because she was living at a farm and later travelled all around the globe. It would be difficult for her to attend class at the same school.
She was an extremely clever kid, she quickly learned everything she was given and had a great capacity for learning. She received a diploma and after decided to enroll a college in Sarastona, Florida to study Photography.
Jaclyn was working as a freelancer in a Mac Cosmetics store so she could afford going to college. It was a great way for her to raise her skills to a whole new higher level of expertise in doing make-up.
She was working there as one of their most wanted makeup artists and received enough money to be able to buy herself what she pleased.
Career development
She decided to open her YouTube channel called Jaclynhill1 back in 2011. She soon gained attention because of her fun way of giving tips and explaining the products she uses which made her videos really original and unique.
It is one of the Jaclyn’s most viewed videos and has 10 million views. Her most viewed video is titled “Smokey Cat Eye Tutorial” and was uploaded in August 2012 and it brought her a lot of money and a lot of new endorsement deals.
She has almost 6 million followers on her YouTube channel (5,7 million to be precise) and earns a lot just with her YouTube channel. She gets even more income from brand edorsements and collaborations.
In 2015 Jaclyn worked with a makeup brand called “Becca”. He decided to do so although the bran wasn’t really popular back then.
She was advertising their highlighter called “Champagne Pop“. When the highlighter was released in Sephora it was sold in more than 20,000 pieces which was a record back in 2015.
After this success, Becca offered Hill to collaborate on a makeup set and they did so and it was again extremely succesfull and both sides made good money from it.
Jaclyn was the one who discovered this amazing brand called „Becca“ that was later in 2017 bought by a huge worldwide known brand Estée Lauder. This brand has products of high performance so their products aren’t really cheap.
The same year that she was collaborating with Becca, Jaclyn started working with Morphe, too. The line they created together was released by the name of “Jaclyn Hill x Morphe”. She collaborated with them (Morphe) again in 2016 and in 2017.
In 2017 she released a huge eyeshadow palette with 35 individual shades. This palette became a huge hit and a lot of beauty bloggers and gurus swear by it.
In 2018, she did another collaboration with Morphe. She made a „Jaclyn Hill x Morphe vault collection“ that consists of 4 eyeshadow palletes with 10 eyeshadows each.
She also made a huge collaboration the same year with them in which she made „Morphe x Jaclyn Hill the master collection“. Morphe was very satisfied with this collaboration and was set for a new one soon.
She made 3 sets: Eye Master Collection with 8 brushes for $42, the Face Master Collection with 5 brushes for $56 and the Master Collection with 24 brushes for $165. It is a great deal for her followers because when they buy those brushes individually, the prices are much higher. They can also try out all of her favourite ones she lieks to use in her tutorials.
Jaclyn has an amazing connection with her fanbase. She is always honest with them because she thinks it is the foundation of good relations with her followers.
Jaclyn always emphasized that all Youtubers should be grateful for the attention they receive from their fans since it is what brings bread to their tables.
In one of her interviews she stated that she always makes lists of videos her subscribers request and start with that.
She says she makes it her priority to include all the video requests she receives from her fans. She believes its extremely important to produce content that people aked for and enjoy.
She also made a video where she answers 50 qustions she was asked by her fans on her socail media accounts so her fans can get to know her better.
She also had collabs with Sigma Beauty in 2013 where she made her brush set with 7 brushes she adores. This set sold out in first 2 days. She made a meet-and-greet with them too.
She also collaborated with Gerard Cosmetics and MakeupGeek line and these collabs were also very successful. Their line was sold out very soon.
In 2017 he published a video with a reality TV star Kim Kardashian who is world wide known and it was titled as “Get Ready with Me & Kim Kardashian”.
This gave her even more attention and was a great commercial for her since Kim Kardashian is a world known star.

She emphasizes the importance of nutrition on having good skin and making it smoother and more clean.

She attempted making her own clothes when she was young, by cutting it and sewing it differently.
After that she moved on to photography and making videos which turned up to be a great sloution because makeup and those two go hand in hand.
Jaclyn revealed that she was bullied all through her young childhood and teenage years. She was very insecure due to this.
She was also grounded a lot so she had found a way to keep herself busy by playing with make up in her room.
