Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm – Sheer Lip Color in Black Honey, Pink Honey & Nude Honey, 0.06 oz
Lightweight, Buildable Lip Color with a Soft-Shine Finish
Add a comfortable wash of color to your lips with Clinique Almost Lipstick. Combining the lightweight feel of a tinted lip balm with the polished finish of a sheer lipstick, this easy-to-layer formula enhances your natural lip color without creating a heavy or fully opaque look.
Made with 95% conditioning ingredients, the formula glides smoothly across the lips and provides a comfortable, non-sticky feel. Apply one coat for a subtle tint or build additional layers when you want more noticeable color and shine.
Choose from three flexible shades: Black Honey, Pink Honey, or Nude Honey. Each shade blends with the natural tone of your lips, so the finished color may look slightly different on every wearer.
Available Color Variations
🍇 Black Honey
A sheer berry-plum shade created with a balanced combination of blue, red, and yellow pigments. Although it appears dark in the tube, it applies as a translucent tint that enhances the lips’ natural color.
🌹 Pink Honey
A soft, sheer pink shade that adds a subtle rosy touch of color and shine. It is suitable for creating a fresh, understated lip look.
🤎 Nude Honey
A flexible sheer nude combining warm and cool pigments. It blends with the natural lip tone to create a personalized-looking nude finish.
Important: Black Honey, Pink Honey, and Nude Honey are individual shade options. Each order includes one 0.06 oz tube in the selected shade, not all three shades.

Sheer Color That Works with Your Lips
Unlike an opaque lipstick that completely covers the natural lip color, Clinique Almost Lipstick applies as a translucent layer.
Your natural lip tone remains visible beneath the pigment, allowing the shade to create a personalized-looking finish. Because of this, the same shade may appear lighter, deeper, warmer, or cooler on different wearers.
This makes the formula suitable for anyone who prefers natural-looking color without the coverage of a traditional full-pigment lipstick.
Adjustable, Buildable Coverage
Control the amount of color through the number of layers applied.
💄 One Swipe
Provides a subtle tint with a light touch of shine.
💄 Two or More Swipes
Builds the shade for a more noticeable lip color while maintaining the formula’s sheer appearance.
The product remains translucent even when layered and is not intended to provide fully opaque coverage.
Black Honey – Sheer Berry-Plum
Black Honey is the deepest-looking shade in the tube, but its appearance changes when applied.
The combination of blue, red, and yellow pigments creates a sheer berry-plum tint that blends with the lips instead of covering them completely.
This shade is suitable for:
🍇 Berry-inspired lip looks
🌙 Day-to-evening makeup
🍂 Fall and winter color palettes
💄 Building from a subtle tint to a deeper wash of color
Pink Honey – Soft Rosy Pink
Pink Honey provides a light, sheer pink tint with a rosy appearance.
The translucent formula allows the natural lip color to remain visible, helping create a fresh and understated finish rather than a bright or opaque pink lip.
This shade is suitable for:
🌸 Soft everyday makeup
🌹 Rosy lip looks
☀️ Spring and summer color palettes
✨ Minimal or natural-looking makeup
Nude Honey – Flexible Sheer Nude
Nude Honey combines warm and cool pigments to create a neutral shade that blends with the wearer’s natural lip tone.
Because it is sheer, the shade does not create the flat or concealer-like appearance sometimes associated with opaque nude lipstick.
This shade is suitable for:
🤎 Neutral everyday makeup
🏢 Office and professional looks
🌿 Minimal makeup styles
💋 Pairing with different lip liners
Conditioning, Lightweight Formula
Clinique Almost Lipstick is made with 95% conditioning ingredients to provide a smooth and comfortable application.
The formula glides directly over the lips and leaves behind lightweight color and shine without the thick texture of some traditional lip glosses.
It can be reapplied throughout the day whenever the lips need additional color or conditioning.
Soft-Shine Finish
The finish falls between a traditional lipstick and a glossy lip product.
It gives the lips a sleek, soft shine while maintaining a natural-looking appearance. The shine may gradually fade during wear, particularly after eating or drinking.
Clinique Almost Lipstick is not marketed as a long-wearing or transfer-proof formula, so reapplication may be needed.
Wear It Alone or Layer It
Clinique Almost Lipstick can be used in several ways:
💄 Apply directly to bare lips for sheer color
✏️ Apply over lip liner for additional definition
🎨 Layer beneath another lip color
✨ Apply over lipstick to add a translucent tint and soft shine
🌸 Build multiple coats for greater color intensity
When layering with other products, allow each layer to settle before adding more color.

Helpful Usage Tips
💋 Exfoliate dry or flaky lips gently before application for a smoother finish.
🪶 Begin with one light layer so you can see how the shade interacts with your natural lip color.
🎨 Build additional layers slowly when you want a more noticeable result.
✏️ Use lip liner first when you want added definition or longer-looking wear.
✨ Apply over another lipstick to adjust its tone and add soft shine.
👜 Keep the tube in a makeup bag for convenient touch-ups.
☀️ Do not leave the product inside a hot vehicle or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat may soften the formula.
Care & Storage
Keep the cap securely closed when the product is not being used.
Store the lipstick in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
For hygienic use, avoid sharing lip products with other people. Keep the product surface clean and discontinue use if its appearance, texture, or odor changes unexpectedly.
Important Safety Information
⚠️ For external use on the lips only.
Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
Do not apply to severely irritated, injured, or infected lips.
