Clinique Black Honey lip color launched when Richard Nixon was president, but all these decades later it has gone viral on TikTok. Now, beauty stores and retailers can't keep it on shelves.
After it was introduced in 1971, the lipstick, which is known for its versatility and ability to complement a wide range of skin tones, was dubbed a "black turtleneck for the lips," said Carolyn Dawkins, senior vice president and global chief marketing officer at Clinique, which is owned by Estée Lauder (EL).
The product debuted in a glassware jar, mimicking a honey pot in honor of its namesake, but the company moved it into its "Almost Lipstick" line in 1989, and sold it out of a tube instead. The shift made it a beauty staple and cult classic for decades. But Black Honey's chic status was catapulted this summer when teens and millennials started talking about the lipstick on TikTok.
