Early life
Jaclyn Eilers grew up near Mineral, Illinois on a farm that had been in her family for four generations.
In 1998, Jaclyn's family--including her father James, mother Robin, older brother Nicholas, and older sister Rachel--moved to Tampa, Florida, after her father said he was called by God to pursue missionary work and become an evangelist. For the next several years, the family traveled to countries including India and Honduras to preach Christianity. Hill has been estranged from her father since her parents' divorce in 2012.
Hill was homeschooled during her childhood. She attended college in Sarasota, Florida where she studied Photography. Hill formerly worked as a freelance makeup artist and at a MAC Cosmetics store.

Beauty retailer Sephora sold more than 25,000 units of "Champagne Pop" within 20 minutes of its release, breaking sales records. Becca and Hill later released a full makeup line together. Hill is credited for popularizing Becca, which was bought by Estée Lauder for $200 million in 2017.
In 2015, Hill also collaborated with Morphe Cosmetics, creating a palette containing her favorite Morphe eye shadows. She released a limited-edition, gem-encrusted makeup brush set with Morphe in 2016, as well as a second eye shadow palette, under the marketing name "Jaclyn Hill x Morphe", in 2017. All three products sold out quickly after their release dates.
Hill's collaborations with Becca and Morphe were reported to have sold $10.7 million and $12.2 million in EMVs, respectively.
