Morphe - The Jaclyn Hill Palette Look

Today I bring you a fun, smoky blue/ colorful look.


Enough blabbering, tutorial time!
Products used: I applied Color from the MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Sculpting Palette in 20 and blended it out with my Etude House My Beauty Tool Secret Brush 121 Skin (not shown) as a base for the blush at the top right of the e.l.f. Beautifully Bare Total Face Palette which I applied using my Sephora Collection PRO Mini Airbrush 55.5. I also applied the shimmer highlighter from the MAKE UP FOR EVER Pro Sculpting Palette in 20 with the Etude House brush (not shown) as a base for Incendio Beauty Full Moon Enchanted Pigment which I applied with my Sephora Collection #74 PRO Small Blush and Contour brush. 
As a base for my powder eyeshadows I applied the OCC Cosmetic Colour Pencil in Pool Boy and blended it out with my Crown Pro C511 Brush


For the crease I applied Cranapple along with Mocha with my Sigma E40 Tapered Blending brush and Crown Pro C511 Brush, respectively. 

For the lid  I applied Twerk  using my  Crown Pro C510 Brush

To highlight the brow-bone and the inner corner of the eye I applied Beam using my no-name gigantic paddle brush from Crown and Crown Deluxe Precision Crease brush, respectively


For eyeliner, I went with Essence Eyeliner Pen Waterproof; no cat-eye this time as I wanted the color on the lid to be really prominent. For the waterline I applied Stila Turquoise Smudge Stick.


For the lower lash-line, I applied Jacz using my Bubbi Detail brush.


The look sans lashes. 


For lashes I used Ardell Faux Mink Lashes in #811 along with Duo Brush-On Lash Glue in Clear.
For lips, I applied Korres Mango Lip Butter and topped it with Incendio Beauty Vampire Blood

Hope that you liked this! :D It was super fun for me to put together! Feel free to request particular songs, animals/nature scenes (I don't do insects of any kind though, sorry, little insect feet and wings creep the bejesus outta me), Pokemon, or Pokemon towns. :P

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. 

Disclaimer: The MAKE UP FOR EVER, Sephora 55.5 brush, and Incendio Beauty products were provided for testing purposes; the e.l.f. palette was gifted to me. I paid for everything else you see here myself.

Morphe - The Jaclyn Hill Palette Review

Hello folksickles, today I'm reviewing a palette that I am SO EXCITED to own, a palette from which looks colorful, neutral, a mix of both, metallic, matte, a mix of both... can be born! A palette that I think is cute and versatile, albeit rather warm-tone heavy.  Behold the Morphe The Jaclyn Hill Palette.




Availability: The currently retails at $39 at ulta.com along with its physical store locations or morphebrushes.com
Would I buy this again?: I think I would.
Notes: I think this is such a beautiful palette and is very versatile as well.  You can easily create a colorful look but you can also do a soft pin-up situation, a smoky look, a neutral with a pop of color, a colorful look with some neutrals for definition... Endless possibilities! Personally I like layering the more "foil"-type shades over the matte shades for a fun twist. I really like this shade selection a lot. 
I'll speak a bit about the packaging before I show you the shades - I HATE that it's white because it's a dirt magnet. I say this yet I've been using it nonstop for a week straight as of the point of writing this and it looks fairly clean thus far.
I also have to tell you that each pan here is a .06 oz. or 1.6g.

Without further ado, swatchfest!
Enlight is a soft, warm off-white pearl shade. 
Beam is a white-gold pearl. I really love this color to highlight the inner corner and brow-bone with. It's great for the face as well. 
Silk Creme is a very light, warm, matte blending out shade. It's just a shade or two darker than my skin and a tad bit warmer. I love to use this as a transition shade if I'm going for a soft, subtle look.
M.F.E.O. is a matte, slightly darker, slightly cooler version of Silk Creme
Faint is a soft pink with an intense white pearl. 
Sissy is a very typical coral, peachy shade with an intense gold pearl.
Little Lady is a peachy orange with a golden pearl. 
Creamsicle is a warm mustard yellow matte. 
Butter is a matte orange with a slight hint of brown; a great transition shade. 

Pooter is a mid-tone matte brown. 
Pukey is a rich, warm, matte brown. I don't like how she named this shade "pukey" as it makes me think of vomit which really does this color a disservice. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation but I don't care enough for Jaclyn (sorry y'all) to watch her video on why she made this palette and how, etc... I just thought the palette was cute overall and picked it up for that reason.
Hunts is a matte, warm, somewhat muted red. I wonder if this was named for the ketchup brand because that's what this color reminds me of. 
Firework is a warm bronze with an intense pinkish-copper pearl.
Queen is a bronze with an intense golden pearl.
Obsessed is a pearly champagne with silver glitter. 
S.B.N. is a bronze-y copper shade.
Hillster is a slightly brownish, shimmery cranberry shade. 
Roxanne is warm, matte brownish red. 
Jacz is a dark, matte, berry red.
Buns is a matte brownish red. 
Cranapple is a beautiful, warm candy apple cranberry shade with almost a hint of a golden undertone. A very pretty shimmery shade. 
Royalty is a shimmery royal purple with magenta, blue, and silver micro-glitter.
Twerk is a satiny indigo. 
Hustle is a shimmery pinkish taupe. 
Meeks is a taupe-y bronze with a bit of a copper pearl.  
24/7 is a darker brown with silver micro-glitter.
Chip is a matte plummy brown.
Mocha is a dark, matte, mocha brown.
Pool Party is... drum roll please because no one is surprised... my favorite shade in the palette! It's a gorgeous mid-tone turquoise with an intense golden pearl.
Jada is a matte, slightly greenish turquoise.
Diva is a grey-green with silver micro-glitter. 
Enchanted is a matte blackened green.
Central Park is a matte, blackened, cool-toned brown.
Soda Pop is a matte, blackened, aubergine purple shade. 
Abyss is a matte black.

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
