The Internet has been positively agog with the arrival of the BECCA x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection. The highlighter compact and eyeshadow palette have been splashed across every imaginable medium of social media (Instagram! Twitter! Snapchat!), accompanied by the glow-centric looks we’ve come accustomed to expecting from BECCA (Opal, reviewed HERE and HERE is a perennial favorite for me).
I was thankful to have had an early preview of the products but wanted to adequately swatch and test them before sharing everything on Beauty Professor. While this Champagne Collection story may not be the first you’ve read, it’s my goal that it will be the last one you need to make informed decisions regarding which items from the line you plan to procure! Consequently, the deluge of images that follow reflect my experience with the collection coupled with a dash of style for good measure.
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of the products in action as well as the Bottom Line…
The BECCA x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection consists of five key products:
- *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette
- *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette
- *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop
- *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Champagne Pop
- *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured in Champagne Pop
The *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette features five finely milled shades for the face; designed to add warmth, flush and glow, the powders apply sheerly but are pigmented and buildable enough for a stunning effect:
- Rose Spritz is a golden peachy pink blush
- Amaretto is a warm tan bronzer-meets-blush
- Pamplemousse is a fuchsia pink with little to no shimmer
- Champagne Pop is a white gold with pinky peach undertones
- Prosecco Pop is a yellow gold champagne beige shade with more pigmentation, overall, than Champagne Pop
Although the entire palette is wearable, I find myself using Amaretto as a bronzer, Rose Spritz on the Apples of the cheeks and a mixture of Champagne Pop and Prosecco Pop on the high points of my face (upper cheekbones, bridge of nose and Cupid’s bow) as demonstrated in the images at the end of this post. Pamplemousse is lovely, but it is currently too strong for my cheeks…perhaps I’ll give it another try when I get a bit more sun this summer. All in all, the palette is gorgeous and the shades layer nicely…definitely worth obtaining (if you haven’t already) when stock is replenished!

The *Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Eyeshadow Palette in Champagne Toast comes in a pale gold streamlined case which houses five neutral shades of eyeshadow for a wealth of combinations:
- Shimmering pale gold
- Radiant light bronze
- Matte thistle mauve
- Matte warm brown
- Matte deep eggplant purple
Smooth and buttery with significant color payoff (swatches below reflect a single pass on the skin), I was quite impressed with the quality of the shadows and believe this is an excellent option for those seeking a capsule collection of warm naturals in various finishes. I prefer shimmering/satin finish over matte (more forgiving in hasty application moments) and find myself applying the bronze all over the eye with a touch of the mauve in the crease and a bit of the shimmering pale gold blended up to my brow bone (as demonstrated in the images at the end of this post). While the matte shades are lovely, they are just not as natural for me but I will continue to experiment with different looks in the coming weeks.

The collection also features Champagne Pop in two compact formulas:
Finally, the *Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop is a liquid version of the ubiquitous warm gold hue which can be mixed into foundation, applied atop base and blended into the décolleté and on arms and legs to deliver immediate light to the surface of the skin. As the image below demonstrates, the liquid is highly blendable for the most natural radiance possible!

// FACE // In the images below, I also used the following products:
- *TEMPTU Air with foundation in Warm Beige (also available at Net-A-Porter and reviewed HERE): The seamless application and intense lasting power of this foundation never disappoints…I love it.
- *Le Metier de Beaute Hydra Plump Lip Serum: This incredible formula is slated for release in early June and I was over the moon to preview it a bit early. Designed to drench lips in nonshiny, nonsticky moisture while gently plumping lips (without the slightest bit of irritation), this is the lip indulgence we’ve all been waiting for. More on this gem soon!
- *Smith & Cult The Tainted Lip Stain in Sweet Suite (also available at Neiman Marcus): This gorgeous pink stain has a plush feel that hydrates lips while imparting an indelible, color-saturated, slightly glossy finish that lasts for hours. I have never met a more comfortable lip stain.
- TEMPTU Color True Lipstick in Buffed Nectar: I picked this creamy pinky peach nude up earlier this year and recently rediscovered it (I adore when that happens). It is a perfectly pale, velvety matte nude lip on its own and looks incredible atop S&C Sweet Suite.
- *Surratt Beauty Expressioniste Brow Pomade (reviewed HERE): My favorite acoutrement for freshly groomed eyebrows, this genius formula adds polish and hold in seconds.
- *Tom Ford High Definition Eyeliner in Burnished Gold (reviewed HERE): An utterly lovely golden liner with formidable wear time, I like wearing this along my lower lash line for a muted gilded glimmer.
- Tom Ford Extreme Mascara (reviewed HERE): Two coats add a jet-black flutter of fullness that have inspired me to gift this mascara to others time and again.

// A Dash of Style// I am wearing:
- Eileen Fisher Scrunch Neck Turtleneck: I cannot get enough simple black turtlenecks, even when the weather gets warmer, I’ll still be wearing them…I’ll simply replace my jeans with cutoff shorts. The timeless classic appeal knows no end for me and Eileen Fisher makes one of the best ones on the market…a plethora of good reviews!
- Levi’s 501 Jeans (also at REVOLVE): These relaxed jeans have a near perfect fit (medium rise, boyfriend cut and slim ankles) and can be dressed up or down, depending on footwear.
- Miz Mooz Cali Ankle Cuff Sandals (also worn HERE): I have worn these interesting little sandals countless times since picking them up earlier this past spring. They are extremely comfortable and have adjustable ankle detailing that will work for a variety of foot types. Finally, I have an unapologetic penchant for buying shoes that combine black and brown(isn) and this darling pair most definitely fit the bill!
