What’s Your Favourite Clinique Almost Lipstick shade at Sephora Giveaway
I’m celebrating one of the most popular prestige lip colour products in the world this month. Clinique’s Almost Lipstick is a sheer, lightweight lipstick colour that melts into lips and interacts with your unique skin chemistry creating a custom shade just for you. It looks beautifully different on everyone. The emollient-rich formula feels more like a tinted lip balm with hydrating skincare ingredients. And it leaves a sleek, soft-shine finish. Black Honey is a soft berry-hue that looks good on everyone. It’s so popular, seven Black Honey Lipsticks are sold every minute globally! According to market research firm Circana, Clinique Black Honey is the number one prestige lip colour in Canada!
What Clinique Almost Lipstick shade is your favourite?
The secret to Black Honey is the perfect blend of blue, red and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base. It has a deep, dark plum colour in the tube but melts into a sheer, glossy berry wash of colour on lips. It allows your natural undertones to shine through.
Pink Honey, a fan-favourite, offers a soft wash of sheer pink. Think of it as a lighter, pinker counterpart to the iconic Black Honey. It appears as a warm, peachy-pink on lighter skin tones and a soft, rosy-nude on deeper skin.
Nude Honey is ideal of anyone who likes a natural lip shade. The blend of warm and cool pigments creates the perfect soft mocha-nude colour with warm terracotta tones. It has a flattering, warm, earthy brown hue.

The Remarkable History of Black Honey
Clinique’s Black Honey Almost Lipstick is one of beauty’s truly iconic products – partly because it is a formula that looks good on absolutely everyone. The shade was originally created by Clinique founder, Carol Phillips, in 1971 in a gloss pot. Phillips named it Black Honey because the lip colour gloss looked like an actual pot of honey. What was revolutionary was that the composition contained a perfect balance of yellow, blue and red pigments that interacts with your unique skin chemistry turning the lipstick a shade that is unique and perfect for you. It’s a wash of berry colour that is a cross between a lip balm, a gloss and a lipstick. Don’t be alarmed at first look. It isn’t a goth-like dark stain. It’s a sheer, warm berry colour with a little shine. It’s honestly gorgeous.
Almost Lipstick was an overnight sensation and became a global bestseller. It remains one of Clinique’s best-loved products. The product continued to sell consistency until influencers on TikTok discovered it a few years ago and made it a Gen Z phenomenon. It literally sold out in dozens of countries. That enthusiasm continues today. It is one of the most flattering and fool-proof lipstick balms on the planet.
One lucky winner is going to win this entire set and enjoy Clinique Almost Lipstick for the coming year.
