Details & care
What it is: Sheer, buildalbe lipstick that melts into lips, playing up their natural color in surprisingly flexible shades that look different on everyone.
What it does: Transparent pigment glides on as a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight color on lips. The emollient-rich formula gives lips a sleek, moist finish. Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss—its texture is more like a tinted lip balm you can easily layer. It's very forgiving, you don't even need a mirror to put it on! One shade works for all lips.
Shades:
- Black Honey: Clinique's cult classic is the #1 Lip Color Shade in the U.S.* It's so loved, 7 Black Honey Lipsticks are sold every minute globally**. It's 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. Black Honey glides on as a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight color
- Pink Honey: a fan-favorite lipstick shade in a soft, sheer pink. It'll add a rosy touch of color and shine to lips
