## Overview

Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey offers a sheer, buildable color that flatters every skin tone with a semi-glossy, emollient-rich finish.

## Description

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.

Review: Superior Product - Goes on smooth, and lays down more color than expected. It feels similar to a lip balm, but a tad more sticky. It is not distracting and I wore it for hours before remembering I was wearing it. I am super sensitive to lipstick, and I have never found a pigmented product that does not dry my lips out, or just wipe off immediately. This is a happy medium to me. I'm fair skinned with a pink/red tone and freckles. I look best in mauve and nude colors. I chose the Nude Honey, and it's a good color for me. The more you put on, the darker it gets. It won't stay on through eating, but it doesn't wipe off when taking a drink of something, and I didn't need a mirror to apply it. I would normally never spend $19 on a lip product, but I figured maybe that's why I'm never happy, and Clinique products are normally very good quality. So I gave it a shot. I'm happy, but I'll try to find sales when I can. There is no taste/smell that I noted.
Review: A great “everyday” lip product - This product is gorgeous and hydrating. It is also buildable and you can achieve a bolder color with several layers if that is what you want. I find it to be a great “everyday wear” lip color. I was intimidated by how dark it looked at first, but it does not transfer on dark. It is very flattering.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful lipstick for gentle color
*by A***R on February 14, 2026*

Best lipstick ever! The “barely lipstick“ is perfect for an elderly woman with fair skin. It moisturizes, and provides just the right hint of color for a woman my age. Its a little pricey, but I will ration it for special occasions
