The Best Dupes for Clinique’s Iconic Black Honey Lipstick
Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is one of those products that flatters all skin types. It offers that perfect wash of plum across your lips, brightening your skin and whitening your teeth. But, because it is practically magic in a tube, it's often sold out in stores.
Whether you're struggling to get your hands on it or simply not interested in its $25 price point, we've gathered five of the best dupes to achieve the same look.
Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Red Dahlia: $6.29
With Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm, you can hydrate your skin while adding life with a gorgeous pink lip. It's also the perfect alternative for anyone who is not a fan of lipstick's natural texture. So, head to your local Target and nab one while you can! It's only $6.29.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Hydrating Core Lip Shine in Ecstatic: $7
When e.l.f. unveiled their Hydrating Core Lip Shine, we knew almost instantly there would be a fantastic dupe for Black Honey. The texture is nearly identical to Clinique's Almost Lipstick—glossy without feeling slippery. Thankfully, Ecstatic is also close to a perfect match for the shade with its warm berry hue.

CoverGirl Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm in Bliss You Berry: $7.99
CoverGirl's Clean Girl Tinted Lip Balm is more than aesthetics. With a blend of hyaluronic acid and pomegranate oil, this product provides healthier and renewed lips after a week. The Black Honey shade dupe is the icing on the cake!
ColourPop Blotted Lipstick in Doheny Dr.: $8
ColourPop's Blotted Lipsticks might be our favorite items from the brand. They give you that blurred, matte look without causing your lips to appear dry and flaky thanks to their argan oil and shea butter. That said, the finish isn't similar to Almost Lipstick, but the color is equally delightful and berry.
Glossier Ultra Lip in Ember: $20
If you want something that is similar in quality and price range as the Black Honey Almost Lipstick, consider Glossier's Ultra Lip. As the website describes, it has the moisturizing effects of a balm and the sheen of a gloss while bringing the buildable color of a lipstick. It's a three-in-one special, just like the Clinique offering.
