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
*Circana / U.S. Prestige Beauty Total Department/Specialty, Makeup Sales, 12 months ending December 2024
**Based on internal Clinique data, January 2024 to December 2024

How to use: Apply lipstick directly to lips. It can be worn alone or layered under or over other lip color. Swipe on one coat for a sheer tint. Keep building it for more drama.

My go to for over 3 decades
This little lip shine will always be a favorite for me. When I was young it was lovely and just the right touch for a more natural look. As I have aged it is beautiful for the moisturizing hint of color. It always looked good on my friends from younger years when we all shared makeup. Make sure to get a lipstick brush as they bury one-fourth of it in the base. This is no deal though, it is on the regular Nordstrom website for the same price, usually with some sort of gift bag.

Not for me
Not for me. It looked good on the pictures and looked good on my friend who also owns it. Did not look good on me at all. Pulled very brown with my under tones, I could hardly see any berry-tone in it, on me. Definitely recommend swatching it live or trying it on before buying, not a true “universal” shade as it’s marketed

Good product.
I really love this product but, unfortunately, it’s very overpriced at the Rack (I didn’t realize this until I looked elsewhere after purchasing). You can get it on sale pretty consistently for around $8-10 cheaper elsewhere.
