R29 staffers put Jaclyn Hill
R29 staffers put Jaclyn Hill's first product launch to the test. Here's what they had to say.
I Tried: Perfectionist

The Verdict: I have a bad habit of doing bold eyes and bold lips, which I’ve been told is a makeup no-no. With this lipstick, I'm finally able to add that much-needed balance into the equation in the form of nude lips. While the formula is pretty thick (which I actually like) and can be a little sticky (which I don't), it feels really cool to put on a lipstick that is the exact color of my lips… but, you know, better. I believe my exact reaction when I first applied it was, “whoa.” I don’t really like the way my lips look without lipstick, so this is ideal for those minimal makeup days. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, those nights when I wanna go ham with the glitter eyeshadow. — Cait Munro, Lifestyle Editor
I Tried: Fussy

The Verdict: I wear lipstick basically every day. Usually I stick to a liquid formula because of the long-wear reliability and lack of color transfer. In general, I worry that solid lipsticks will smear, causing me to reapply more often than I like. However, I really enjoyed this lipstick. The formulation is really rich and creamy, which feels nourishing. I also like that there’s a sheen without it being too shiny. I think this nude may move into my regular lipstick rotation. — Maria Jiā Líng Pitt, Creative Assistant
I Tried: Obsessed

The Verdict: Usually I’m more of a lip balm kinda gal, but this nude lip might have converted me. This lip looks so incredibly natural on me. Although I found myself having to reapply it, I love the color and I could definitely see it becoming part of my everyday makeup routine. If you’re looking for a low-key lipstick, then this is the one for you. — Katie Cruz, Associate Social Media Editor
I Tried: Cheeky

The Verdict: I love the formula of this lipstick. It is really creamy and pigmented. It only took 1-2 swipes to get full opacity. As I wore it throughout the day, it didn't bleed and wore down nicely. I like this color but I think it would look better if I added a darker lip liner, because it was almost too nude for me. It went on slightly lighter than I thought when initially looking at the bullet. But since there are so many colors in the range, I can easily find a darker color. — Meghal Janardan, Digital Producer
I Tried: Isla

The Verdict: I have to admit that I didn't get the idea of a lipstick that more or less matched your exact lip color. If I'm making the effort to put a product on, don't I want to see it? After swiping on this formula, I stand corrected. First of all, let's talk about the shade. I've never had a lipstick match the color of my lips so expertly, with just a hint of mauve-y pink that's not too Barbie-ish. The formula itself is rich and creamy, so it felt like a treat for my lips. While it did transfer to my coffee cup, it added a lovely tint to my lips all day long. — Rachel Lubitz, Senior Beauty Writer
I Tried: That Girl

The Verdict: Let me just say, this lipstick is GOOD. Though I’m not 100% sure that this is my perfect nude shade, I loved it nonetheless. It’s nice and creamy, and when applied over a lip balm — a must no matter what lipstick, gloss, or stain I’m wearing — it didn’t feel drying at all. — Hannah Bullion, Associate Social Media Editor
I Tried: As If

The Verdict: I LOVE this color. It’s so natural and pretty and added the perfect final touch to my glowy, minimal makeup look.. The texture could have been a little creamier, but overall, I'm very pleased! — Mary Paige Nesfeder, Associate Social Media Editor
I Tried: Sofia

The Verdict: When it comes to 'nude' lipstick, my picks always lean towards pink. I've never really found a true nude that didn't make me look, well, dead — until this collection. The shade Sofia looks like a better version of my exact lip color. As for the wear, it wasn't particularly long-lasting, but it was comfortable and hydrating enough that I didn't mind having to reapply it. While I wouldn't wear this on a day where I need durability, it's definitely earned a spot in my makeup bag. — Thatiana Diaz, Beauty Writer
I Tried: Hot Toddy

The Verdict: Something about this lipstick reminds me of the weighty tubes I used to steal off my grandma’s vanity to play dress up, but that sense of nostalgia also calls to mind quality. The texture is thick and creamy, too — kind of like the old Fashion Fair formulas the matriarchs in my family would use.

The color is very similar to my skin tone with just a slight pink undertone. However, you definitely need a dark brown lip liner to give the mouth a little definition with this shade, because the match is so close that it can feel a little cadaver-esque. I will say: The formula doesn’t have any staying power. It comes off on pretty much everything. So, this is one of those look-cute lipsticks that you wear to an office meeting, not the summer BBQ where you’ll be eating burnt hot dogs. — Jessica Cruel, Deputy Beauty Director
I Tried: Tipsy

The Verdict: This lipstick ended up matching my foundation almost perfectly once I swiped it on, so I used a taupe lip liner, which made all the difference. The formula is creamy and moisturizing, but I did notice I had lipstick everywhere — cups, hands, and sleeve (after an unwelcome sneeze). — Danielle Thornton, Executive Assistant
