Clinique Almost Lipstick Review

The clinique black honey almost lipstick is advertised as being a universally flattering color for everyone.It looks really really dark in the tube, almost like black cherry. It looks like it would apply like a color that would look "vampish" However this color gives you the "I just ate a popsicle look" It's fine if that's the look you are going for but I don't like cherry red lips. I have a  tanned  complexion with pigmented lips and dark hair. You would think this color would be perfect for me, but it is not. I prefer lighter more subtle colors. While i think it is great that it has no shimmer because shimmer can make your lips look dry and shriveled. It's not the color of lipstick I prefer because I like a more neutral muted look since I have rather large lips. I would love it if they would invent something like a universally flattering light shade but not warm toned. It's moisturizing and wears well but not the product for me. I think it's better suited for fairer skintones in my honest opinion.
