When we think of Clinique makeup… “Black Honey” is always the first hue to come to mind. First launched as a lip gloss in the 1970s and reimagined as the Almost Lipstick in the ’90s, the deep berry hue has earned a devoted following, including us, for its magical ability to flatter everyone. And we mean everyone. It’s one of those rare, chameleon-like colours that adapts to your natural tones, making it feel both effortless and elevated. So when Clinique introduced “Black Honey Pop” as part of their Cheek Pop Powder Blush lineup, it was more than a launch—it was a siren call.
Silky, lightweight and buildable with a soft, natural finish that mimics the look of a real flush, we’re addicted to our new “Black Honey” hue. Rich and mulberry-toned the blush adds depth and warmth to our fair complexion, because while it’s perfect for medium to deeper skin tones it can be sheered out beautifully on our face too. Just swirl a brush across the surface and sweep onto the apples of cheeks for a fresh, lifted glow. And when we want to mix things up, we have 10 additional pops of colour to pick from: “Ginger Pop’s” warm coral, “Melon Pop’s” soft peach, “Peach Pop’s” fresh apricot, “Pink Pop’s” sweet pink, “Plum Pop’s” cool plum, “Rosy Pop’s” classic rose, “Fig Pop’s” earthy mauve, “Cola Pop’s” deep reddish-brown and “Berry Pop’s” bold berry.
Each Pop’s formula is free from parabens and phthalates and features a smooth, cushiony texture that blends like a dream. A touch of silicone gives it that seamless glide, while conditioning agents help prevent dryness, so it stays comfortable on our skin all day and night. Add in the product’s embossed daisy design and we can’t stop smiling, it’s one of those little details that just makes getting ready more fun.
