Clinique has officially answered beauty lovers everywhere by launching a lip liner in one of its most iconic shades: Black Honey. For years, fans of the brand’s cult-favorite Almost Lipstick have been pairing it with other liners and asking for a perfectly matched version — and now it’s finally here. The new Quickliner for Lips in Black Honey brings the brand’s beloved shade into a classic, everyday makeup essential that makes defining lips easier and more polished than ever.
The Black Honey Quickliner delivers everything fans love about Clinique formulas: it’s dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested, fragrance-free, and designed to be comfortable on the lips. The creamy, non-drying pencil glides on smoothly without tugging, helping define the lip line and prevent feathering while creating a soft base for lipstick or gloss. Thanks to its twist-up design, there’s no sharpening required — which makes it especially convenient for tossing into your bag for touchups throughout the day.
Clinique Quickliner Lip Liner in Black Honey
This creamy lip liner defines lips, prevents feathering, and helps keep lipstick in place — with a twist-up design that never needs sharpening. The non-drying formula can be used to line or smooth all over lips for longer-lasting color.
What makes this launch especially exciting is how universally flattering the Black Honey shade has proven to be over the years. The sheer, berry-toned color adapts beautifully to different skin tones, creating a “your lips but better” effect that works just as well worn alone as it does paired with deeper lip shades. With the liner, it’s easier than ever to subtly enhance your natural lip shape or add definition without going too bold.
Like the rest of Clinique’s Quickliner lineup, the Black Honey version is designed for everyday wear and sensitive skin, making it a great option whether you’re a minimalist makeup fan or someone who loves layering lip products. It’s versatile, easy to use, and feels like a natural extension of the iconic Almost Lipstick — which explains why fans were so eager for its release.
The Black Honey lip liner is available now through major retailers, including Amazon, making it easy to add to your makeup bag or gift to the beauty lover in your life who swears by this timeless shade. If Black Honey has been a staple in your routine for years, this new liner feels like the missing piece you didn’t know you needed.
