7 sold every minute globally*. Clinique’s cult classic Black Honey Lipstick flatters every face. Now available in Pink Honey – a subtle soft pink shade. 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 colour. Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.

Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss—its texture is more like a tinted lip balm you can easily layer. Transparent pigment glides on a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight colour. 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 colour. *Based on the internal data of Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, May 2022 – June 2023.

love it !

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey is a sheer, warm nude that adds a soft, natural tint to the lips. The texture feels smooth and balmy, giving a comfortable, hydrating wear. It’s versatile for everyday use, though you’ll need touch-ups since the color is light and buildable. A great pick if you want an easy, “your lips but better” look and smell amazing !

Great colour

Yes, I recommend this

Gives a moisturising wash of lovely colour. It is as described almost a lipstick and so doesn’t stay on too long.

Sheer lip balm

Perfect match

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love Clinique, the slim clean packaging, the scent smelled like regular lipstick. The finish was absolutely beautiful and the texture was smooth. It glides perfectly on my lips. Not to mention the pigmentation was light. I truly love this product

Lipstick? Tinted Lip Balm

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Almost lipstick is essentially just saying that it is a tinted lip balm. For a tinted lip balm it is nice and moisturizing. It is very lightweight. It says the finish is sheer and that the color is buildable but it you have the slightest pigment in your lips it won't build to show anything. Left swatch is multiple swipes and the right just 1-2.

New fave

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who’s not always drawn to lipsticks, Nude Honey feels like the most effortless, flattering update to my daily routine. It’s a sheer, buildable balm with that perfect “my lips but better” vibe. Hydrating, soft, and just a touch glossy without being sticky. The warm brown-red undertones blend beautifully with different skin tones thanks to its mix of warm and cool pigments . I love how seamlessly it layers—one swipe gives a fresh wash of color; a few layers deepen it into a pretty, natural nude that feels polished yet easygoing. Despite its balm-like texture, it lasts for hours, through several coffees before needing a quick reapply (especially after meals).

I’m loving this Lipstick

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m loving this Lipstick in Nude Honey! The finish is beautifully natural, and the texture glides on smoothly without feeling heavy. The packaging is sleek and travel-friendly, though I wish the pigmentation was just a touch richer. It has a subtle, pleasant scent that makes it even more enjoyable to wear. I received this product in exchange for my honest review for Clinique.

In my bag all the time

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came in a bundle of products to try and was the standout favorite for me hands down. Formula is silky smooth, hydrating and feels light on the lip. Color is the perfect shade of nude for anytime of day. I don’t wear makeup often and rarely get compliments on the minimal that I do but I’ve been asked multiple times what I’m wearing with this. It’s in my bag now all the time and I’ll continue to wear it both casually and for nights out with friends.

Lovely product but the color isn’t for me

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. While I love the texture & the packaging of this product, the color is a little too brown for my coloring - fair neutral toned with freckles - but the color makes me look like I’m ready for Halloween. I really wanted to like it because it goes on like a lip balm & is super hydrating. The cheek & lip oil in the same color - Nude Honey - looks really good on me though!

Light wash of color, not overpowering.

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who also has this in the Black Honey color, I had an idea of what I was getting. This is great if you’re looking for just a light wash of color, but also something that does not feel sticky. It feels nice, but I wouldn’t say hydrating as it just kind of sits on your lips.

Wonderful

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No matter what anybody says, this is a wonderful lipstick for anybody. I’m totally impressed. It works with anything you put on. It goes on very good and of all the lipsticks I have tried, this one does not cake on my lips and get all crumbly and dry looking. I’m going to order another one to keep in my purse. This is a wonderful product. It’s not too dark. It’s not too light. It’s just perfect. And it is not sticky. It goes on smooth and feel smooth and it’s easy to reapply without looking in the mirror.

The Perfect ‘No-Makeup’ Lip

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of those shades that just enhances what you already have - it’s like your lips but slightly better. The formula is comfortable and not sticky, giving just enough color and shine without feeling like you’re wearing much at all. Great for anyone who wants an effortless, natural look that works with everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So smooth and moisturizing

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no scent to this lipstick. The pigmentation is very light and sheer, but I love it! It doesn't settle into lip lines, it feels so smooth and lovely on the lips. The sleek packaging of the skinny silver tube is so nice and elegant as well. It's such a pretty color, it's not as dark as I thought it would be, since it goes on sheer. I love it!

Perfect barely-there lipstick

Originally posted on influenster.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m absolutely loving Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey! The formula is so lightweight and comfortable—it feels more like a balm than a lipstick, yet it still gives a beautiful wash of color. Nude Honey is the perfect everyday shade: soft, sheer, and flattering without ever looking heavy or overdone. What I like most is how versatile it is—easy to swipe on without a mirror, hydrating enough to wear all day, and it gives my lips a natural but polished look. It’s the kind of product that pulls everything together effortlessly. I’ve already gotten compliments on how fresh and natural it looks. If you want something between a lip balm and a lipstick, this shade is a winner. Definitely a new staple in my bag!
