Don’t be blue about summer coming to an end because that means it’s time to whip out your black honey shaded lip gloss, nails, shoes, and even mascara?! That’s right! The shade has gotten so popular after Clinique’s Almost Lipstick (a sheer lightweight transparent gloss) went viral on TikTok, that many brands took notice and either replicated the makeup product or started integrating the color into their own product offerings.
Lots of influencers all over TikTok started doing “Black Honey” inspired makeup and we saw the trend trickle into the nail department with many wanting to replicate the color in a different beauty way.

Other makeup brands inspired by Clinique’s success, similarly, made their own gloss embracing the shade. Despite all the different “Black Honey” lip gloss out there to choose from, Clinique has reclaimed their dominance on their shade with their recent drop of “Black Honey” mascara, eyeliner, and cheek tint, making it clear to consumers who were the OGs behind their new fall favorite color.
