My makeup tutorial watching obsession started in high school. There’s just something mesmerizing about watching someone completely transforming their look within five minute’s time.
In my makeup tutorial watching endeavors, I’ve come across many different YouTube makeup gurus—women and men alike.
But, one makeup guru I can’t seem to get enough of is Jaclyn Hill. If you are not watching this powerhouse woman on YouTube, you need to and for more reasons than of her amazing knowledge of makeup. If I haven’t convinced you why you should be watching her yet, here are five reasons you need to make Jaclyn Hill part of your weekly rituals.
1. She knows everything there is to know about makeup.
Want to know how to contour, apply fake lashes, get that smoky eye? Look no further!
Jaclyn will walk you through it step-by-step on her YouTube channel! Jaclyn has worked her way up the ladder at Mac Cosmetics, so she’s been professionally trained and knows what she’s talking about!
When you’re stuck for what makeup look to do for your night out, repeat after me: “What would Jaclyn do?”
2. She will give you her honest opinions about products.
Jaclyn will not only tell you how to use makeup products, but she will give you her honest and open opinion about them. She will never agree to be paid to promote a product that she doesn’t like. If she thinks that the mattes in an eye shadow pallet are too chalky, she is not afraid to share it. She will always tell you if a product is worth spending your money on.
3. She talks openly about her life.
If you ask, she will respond. Just watch a variety of her Q&A’s. She opens up about past and current relationships, how she got to where she is and even her trouble with anxiety.
It’s nice to know that someone who has made their way up the ladder in the YouTube world can still relate so well to her viewers. So many of the things she talks about can resonate with so many people. She is an amazing role model.
4. She is not ashamed of her struggles with anxiety.
Anybody with anxiety would be lucky to have someone like Jaclyn to look up to in terms of dealing and overcoming anxiety. Jaclyn talks openly about her low points and give advice on how to get out of those low points.
The amount of progress she has made in battling her anxiety is super inspirational. She takes anxiety head on and beats its butt, but she makes sure that you as the watcher understand that it isn’t all flowers and butterflies all the time. She often explains how she has good days and bad days, but in the end it’s all about the mindset. I really admire her in the way she openly talks about her battle with anxiety.
5. She is looming with confidence.
From the first minute you watch Jaclyn, you can immediately feel the confidence beaming from her. Honestly, I think she is one of the most confident people I’ve come across. She so openly talks about her flaws and doesn’t care what other people think. Her confidence is something that every woman should latch onto and harness.
