Ever since we started applying makeup, we’ve been searching for a lipstick that can do it all. Every year, we’re led back to the iconic Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. Seriously, there’s a reason it’s a cult classic, but the steep price of $25 has made many look for cheaper alternatives to Black Honey.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

The Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey ($23) is a universally beloved lipstick that shoppers around the world can’t get enough of. Named the number one lip color shade in the US in 2023, per the brand, it’s a semi-glossy lipstick that looks stunning on every skin tone.
The deep-to-sheer appearance looks different on every other user, but it’s beloved for being universally flattering. It’s a semi-glossy deep red shade that goes on sheer or very deep, depending on how many layers you apply. Plus, it has a pleasing balm-like texture, and has an amazing blend of undertones.
And like we said, it’s as loved as can be by shoppers.
“I was skeptical about this product being perfect on every skin color. Well, I love it! It is truly a shade that works perfectly on everyone. And it’s subtle enough for everyday wear. It goes in smooth and does not try your lips or leave it feeling sticky like others,” one shopper said.
Another shopper added, “Looks like it would be super dark, but it goes on nice and sheer so it’s a lot lighter than one might expect without reading reviews. Long lasting and smooth, doesn’t dry my lips out at all like a lot of lipsticks / lip tints do.”
A third shopper added, “It’s crazy how dark this lipstick is but going on it compliments any skin tone. I’m very pale but my daughter is dark skinned, and it adjusts to match each of us individually. The texture is so smooth and moisturizing like a chapstick and it has pretty good staying power.”
