Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey

The Review

About this product

Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is Clinique’s cult-classic lip shade. 7 are sold every minute globally.* Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss—its texture is more like a tinted lip balm you can easily layer. Black Honey lipstick by Clinique is famous for its chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on everyone. The secret is its perfect blend of blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base that melts into lips, playing up their natural color. Don’t be fooled by the way Black Honey Clinique lipstick looks in the tube. Transparent pigment glides on a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight color. Emollient-rich sheer lipstick gives lips a sleek, moist finish. It’s also very forgiving—you don’t even need a mirror to put it on. Can be worn alone, or under or over other Clinique lip color. *Based on internal Clinique data for Black Honey lipstick, July 2022–June 2023.
