Clinique launches ‘Black Honey Collection’ inspired by the iconic viral shade

Your ’90s heart will love this collection

If you read Seventeen magazine at any point in the ’90s, you already know about Clinique’s Black Honey Almost Lipstick, which launched in 1989 and was worn by the likes of Clare Danes in “My So-Called Life,” Reese Witherspoon in “Cruel Intentions” and Courtney Love, Kate Moss and Chloë Sevigny in the pages of the tabloids. Black Honey was everywhere. Black Honey was the lip shade of It Girls.

And now, Black Honey is back. Thanks to going viral on TikTok (the way we learn about beauty trends these days — RIP Seventeen), Black Honey Almost Lipstick — in a new, less sticky formula — is once again Clinique’s bestselling lipstick. In fact, the beauty brand says they sell seven tubes of it every minute. If you haven’t tried Black Honey, now is a great time. Black Honey is like black magic — this dark plum shade somehow looks incredible on every age and skin tone.
