- Q
For those of us that are a little more mature does i the color soak into the fine lines of the lips?
- Asked by Tink72
- Official Answer By Clinique USThanks for reaching out! Almost Lipstick has a gorgeous buttery featherlight texture. Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss—its texture is more like a tinted lip balm you can easily layer. Emollient-rich sheer lipstick gives lips a sleek, soft-shine finish. It creates a plumped and glowing lip. We recommend pairing Almost Lipstick in Pink Honey with Quickliner for lips in Intense Blush for a more defined lip along with helping the product stay in place.Was this answer helpful to you

Love the lipstick, not the color
I really like the consistency of this lipstick. It's not too heavy & not sticky like lipgloss tends to be. I only wish there were more colors available. I didn't think this shade worked well with my skin tone.

Pink honey over black honey
I bought both colors. Black honey is a lovely deep sheer dhade but as others have stated, it *will* show every chapped part of your lips. Which kinda sucks cos some of us struggle with keeping then not chapped. Pink honey gives a lovely neutral look to the lips and chapped lips arent as noticeable. I definitely prefer pink honey for a neutral everyday look.
Beautiful and Natural
I understand why it's called almost lipstick because it looks and feels like I am not wearing lipstick but adds a beautiful pop of sheer color. I love the unique deep shade of black honey.
I love it so much
It adds just enough color to your lips and looks so flattering but it's still able to be built up. It's now one of my go to products when I want something that's subtle but makes a difference and elevates your look even without makeup. The only con i'd say I have is that it doesn't last as long as i'd like without reapplying.
I've used this before and have always loved it.
I remember when black honey came out & was a instant hit. When I was in my 20's I worked in cosmetics at a fine dept store. My line ... You guessed it! Clinique!
So flattering & goes with everything
I got this for my birthday and fell in love! It's casual enough for school or work, but is equally gorgeous for more formal events. If you are on the fence . . . it's totally worth it!
