YouTuber Jaclyn Hill appears to be using social media to tease the launch of a new beauty product.
On Monday, her brand Jaclyn Cosmetics shared a cryptic tweet about the future. It also included a 20-second-long video of the Jaclyn Cosmetics logo with lights floating around it.
“The future is bright,” Jaclyn Cosmetics wrote, followed by a star emoji and the date “11/26/19.”

By Tuesday, Jaclyn Cosmetics had followed up with another message online: "Light up the room," written alongside a lightning emoji and the same date.
Underneath the message, Jaclyn Cosmetics shared a video of Hill and four other women standing in a row to showcase their glowing skin.

Some people think they've figured out Jaclyn Hill's upcoming announcement
On Twitter, many have said they believe Hill is launching a highlighting face product. Their guesses make sense, considering the brand's cryptic messages and sparkling imagery.
Yes!!! I’m so excited for this! I hope this means it’s a highlighter ✨ @Jaclynhill

Is that a highlighter I see!?!? @Jaclynhill can the #jacpack get first dibs on ordering!?

I’m gonna say the next launch for @Jaclynhill is either a highlighter or she’s relaunching the lipsticks.

The YouTuber has created a cult-favorite highlighter in the past
Back in 2015, Hill teamed up with BECCA Cosmetics, a high-end beauty brand, to create a highlighter called Champagne Pop. The brand sold out within hours of launching, and the highlighter has since become a cult-favorite product.
While the $38 product is still available to purchase today, Hill's relationship with BECCA Cosmetics has strained. The two fought in 2017 when an Instagram account leaked BECCA Cosmetics' plan to release a Prosecco Pop highlighter without Hill.
BECCA Cosmetics then sent a cease and desist letter to Morphe, another beauty brand, in 2018. The brand argued that Morphe's collaboration with Hill copied a product line it previously created with the YouTuber.
Many seem excited about the possibility of new makeup from Hill
While some seem particularly excited that Hill might be launching a highlighter, others seem happy to purchase anything she releases.
Yeah I’m excited, this is your nitch and I can’t wait to see how amazing it is 🤗🤗🤗 @Jaclynhill https://t.co/024UVCLiYt

Others, however, seem nervous to trust the YouTuber following her disastrous lipstick launch
Online, many people referenced Hill's lipstick scandal from June, when people accused the YouTuber of selling damaged products that caused swelling and bumps on the lips for some customers.

Really annoying that instead of trying to fix and or rerelease your lipsticks (or do the right thing and recall them AHEM) you’re going to forget it ever happened and release highlighter now. Why do I keep bothering, it’s a let down every time. 😒

this is great & everything, but I’m disappointed she never really addressed a lot of issues. A video/two about it, never saying WHAT was the final problem w the product, and then taking a social media hiatus. Yet, we should support the restart-up of a company we lost trust in? 🥴
