The design came together in a matter of a couple of days, Hearns tells PEOPLE exclusively. “She decided last minute to throw the craziest party, so we literally had five days to make the look,” he says. “I think it was a commentary on cancel culture and how easy it is to be canceled for some drama, especially in the YouTube space.”
The internet immediately had mixed opinions on Hill’s Halloween costume. Some loved the statement-making look and others accused her of taking things too far.

“Let the haters hate. But I personally LOVED@Jaclynhill‘s Halloween costume! GET IT, GIRL!” one persontweeted.
Someone elsewrote: “Ok@Jaclynhilli see you girl! You killed your Halloween costume.”
“I‘m beyond disgusted and disappointed in@Jaclynhillat this point. After everything that went down with her lipsticks, her apologies and her taking a break from social media because everything was too hard for her… seeing her halloween costume is just… repulsive,” said a Twitter user.
“[sic] wanting: semi gross content in next tweet!! but tonight jaclyn hill (@Jaclynhill) posted a halloween costume that’s making a joke about her being canceled… as if she was canceled over something small and not literally dangerous lipsticks. why does this bother me so much?” another persontweeted.
Hill launched her namesake brand,Jaclyn Cosmetics, with a20-piece collection of nude lipsticksover the summer, but later stopped selling the items andrefunded all customersafter many complained thatthey received allegedly defective lipsticks.
“@Jaclynhill@jaclyncosmetics I am a huge supporter! Seriously love you. I was soooo excited to buy your lipsticks. Today when I went to put on “Decaf” ..I noticed there was a hard ball inside of it. What is it? Can I get a replacement?” one of Hill’s followerstweetedto her alongside a picture of her lipstick.
Once more customers began posting photos and videos of their lipstick bullets, which appeared to have small black holes, lumps and tiny hair fibers,Hill announced the refund.
“I’m going to be issuing a full refund, including shipping and tax, to every single customer from Jaclyn Cosmetics,” Hill said in a statement shared on her Instagram Story. “I don’t care about the loss of this money. You know how embarrassing this is for me. I will do everything in my power to make this right moving forward and learn from this lesson God has given me.”
Jaclyn Cosmetics also addressed the refund in a statement on Twitter, which was also shared on the brand’s website. “Over the past few weeks, consumers have brought forward a number of quality issues with regard to our So Rich Lipsticks.
