Almost Lipstick

Product code: T237347F

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.

Expensive lip balm

No, I don't recommend this

Disappointed, no different to a lip balm, no noticeable colour in it once applied

Lovely tinted look

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely rich moist almost lipstick. More of a tinted look than a full on deep colour. It’s more of a barely there look.

Doesn’t look great

Feels and looks like a Claire’s lip balm. Not worth the money.

Lacks longevity ☹️

No, I don't recommend this

Lovely coloured lipstick, moisturising, just doesn’t last on the lips very long which is a real shame

Like a lip balm with great colour

Yes, I recommend this

Got this in the other 2 colours and this is another perfect colour - I'm not keen on the feel of lipstick, but this is more like a lip balm with colour so feels nice on my lips

Lovely to wear

Yes, I recommend this

The colour is perfect and seems to go with everything. It doesn’t dry your lips like a lot of lipsticks I have tried.

Missed the mark!

No, I don't recommend this

I don’t understand the hype at all about this, I can’t believe I paid this much when I could have bought an actual hydrating lip balm with a tint of colour at and 8th of the price. It doesn’t even last an hour post application, the colour pay off is nearly nil. I get its market is “almost lipstick and nude on all colours” but it’s hardly visible on my two-toned lip. Definitely not for my brown - dark girls. Black honey ain’t for us honeys.

Nice product

I’ve purchased this before but it’s a light textured moisturing balm type lipstick With buildable colour. Would recommend for anyone with dry lips in this chilly weather but it does need to be reapplied during the day.

Not for me

No, I don't recommend this

Colour didn’t look good on me when I applied it Nice texture but not happy with it. Especially when it said suits everyone. Was darker than I thought it would be when applied colour. It looked more pink in the advertisement. Not for me.

Beautiful product that work for any skin tone

Yes, I recommend this

2nd time buying this product. Suites every skin colour and keeps my lips feeling hydrated. Best of all you can apply without needing a mirror and build up the colour.
