“I don’t know [how] Clinique did it, but somehow this lip color looks great on EVERYONE,” one review said. “It’s like a natural lip color, but better. Not warm, not cool, just perfect neutral.”
Created in the 70s, named after the natural sweetener, Black Honey has been back in the public eye, after trending on TikTok. A top seller for HuffPost readers during this year’s Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, Clinique’s Black Honey is a versatile crowd pleaser, that’s currently at a pleasing price.
“It looks dark in the tube but somehow goes on your-lips-but-better on EVERY skintone,” one wrote. “I’d say it’s a light brown-toned mauve.”
Numbers don’t lie. According to the brand, Black Honey is Clinique’s number one selling lip color.
It’s celebrated for being universally flattering and super buildable, perfect for all-season and all-purpose wear. Whether you’re going for an everyday “no makeup, makeup” look or want a strong color for going out, Black Honey can do it all. Called “barely there” or “your lips but better,” reviewers say this product enhances their natural color and even makes their lips look fuller and plumper.
