What matches
Same sheer berry-plum wash that shifts with your own lip tone, and the same balm-weight comfort rather than a lipstick set.
The trade-off
Less pigment per pass, so it takes two or three, and it fades faster over a meal.
Sheer deep berry that shifts with your natural lip color, which is why it went viral more than 30 years after launch.
One more Black Honey dupe
e.l.f. Cosmetics Sheer Slick Lipstick – Black Cherry
$6−72% per oz
Same trick as Black Honey: a sheer, glossy berry that looks almost black in the tube and goes on as a wash of color that suits nearly every skin tone, with vitamin E in both.
What it does worse: Clinique's is a balm-like Almost Lipstick built on castor oil and candelilla wax, while e.l.f.'s Sheer Slick is a slicker stick of emollient esters and meadowfoam seed oil with a shinier finish.
