Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm, Black Honey – Sheer Glossy Color

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is a layerable lip color with the sheer, lightweight feel of a tinted balm and a glossy finish.

• Clinique’s #1 lip color; internal data recorded seven sold globally per minute from July 2022 to June 2023 — a shade chosen by shoppers worldwide.
• Blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy sheer base — play up the lips’ natural color.
• An emollient-rich formula — leaves lips with a sleek, moist finish.
• A forgiving, easy-to-apply texture — can be applied without a mirror.
• Black Honey’s color flatters all skin tones while looking different on everyone — the result varies with each person’s natural lip color.

Black Honey is made for anyone who wants color that feels less like a traditional opaque lipstick and more like a tinted lip balm. Its dark appearance in the tube can make it hard to picture on your lips, but the transparent pigment applies as a sheer wash. Wear it for a glossy touch of color, or use its buildable texture to adjust the look with additional layers.

How does Black Honey look when applied?

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey glides on as sheer, glossy color, rather than appearing as dark as it looks in the tube. Its transparent pigment lets the lips’ natural color show through, so the shade can look different from person to person. The finish is lightweight, and the formula is described as forgiving to apply even without a mirror.

• The dark shade in the tube becomes a translucent color on the lips.
• Its glossy slip gives lips a sleek, moist-looking finish.

Can I wear Almost Lipstick alone or with other lip color?

Yes. Clinique Almost Lipstick can be worn on its own or under or over other Clinique lip color. The creamy texture is easy to layer, so you can choose a lighter wash or add more color with further application.

• Wear it alone for sheer, glossy color.
• Layer it with other Clinique lip color, either underneath or on top.

What gives Black Honey its adaptable shade?

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey combines blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base. The blend is designed to play up natural lip color, helping explain why the same shade can appear different on different people while flattering all skin tones. Emollients give the formula its sleek, moist finish.

• Color comes from a blend of three pigment colors.
• The sheer base keeps the result translucent rather than opaque.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey suits shoppers who want a lightweight, glossy lip color that can be worn alone or layered with Clinique lip color. Its sheer pigment and emollient-rich formula deliver a moist finish while letting natural lip color influence the look.
