Joey Potter Called And She Wants Her '90s Lip Look Back
I have a thing about Joey Potter's lips. Truth be told, I wanted to be Joey Potter back in the day. I longed to slouchily trip my way from jetty to jetty on some seasonal Massachusetts island wearing 100% cotton camis under oversized dungarees, blithely oblivious to the girl-next-door appeal of my no-make-up-make-up and unfathomably glossy hair, all while rolling my eyes at the legions of GAP-ad-worthy guys that happen to be falling for me. The appeal of that fictional life and Katie Holmes's particular brand of beauty were endless. I went so far as to try and mimic her crooked smile (no, really) purposefully turning my own determinedly symmetrical one up at the corner in an effort to develop a level of muscle memory that might make it a permanent, adorable quirk. It didn't work. I feel you're unsurprised. This month I'm back on the bandwagon because Joey Potter lips are back. The look's a rich chocolate wash of colour (sheer) with a balmy finish - the sort the ever effortless Joey could plausibly have applied with her favourite Chapstick, but IRL involved a prestige beauty pick or two from the Dawson's Creek make-up trailer. In fact the show's make-up artist Brittany Cole recently revealed on TikTok that the team used MAC Lipstick in Twig, £25, alongside Dr Hauschka Lip Care Stick, £10.50, to achieve Joey's couldn't-care-less-lip. Today there's a new '90s lip hero in town and it comes by way of Clinique's iconic Black Honey legacy. The Almost Lipstick is emollient-rich and balm-like. The original Black Honey shade delivers a layer of berry-adjacent colour and this year's new Nude Honey version offers a subtler finish, a warm, deep nude (as the name suggests) evocative of Holmes's on-screen counterpart. Clinique went hard on their campaign for this one, bringing in Cynthia Erivo as the face (the Wicked star wore Clinique Almost Lipstick Nude Honey to the Met Gala this year) to great effect - TikTok is head over heels for the stuff. As am I, incidentally, it's a one-product gateway to my dream teen lip look, sitting pretty in my make-up bag as we speak. If you see me pairing dungarees with a lopsided smile anytime soon, ask no questions. 1. Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey Price: £25 What Clinique says: 'Sheer, buildable lipstick melts into lips, playing up their natural colour. In three surprisingly flexible shades (black, nude and pink) that look different on everyone.' What we know: Seven tubes of Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey sells every minute - it's no wonder TikTok can't get enough of the stuff. This latest iteration, an emollient rich nude, has been designed to flatter all skin tones, meshing with the unique, natural tone of your lips.' WhatRachael Martin, beauty director, says: 'What truly sets Nude Honey apart is its clever blend of warm and cool pigments. These adapt to your natural lip tone to create a shade that's uniquely yours- expect a flattering colour for all skin tones. The texture is another standout feature for me - it's balm-like and incredibly comfortable to wear, offering just the right amount of hydration to keep chapped lips at bay. It's safe to say that Nude Honey has earned its place as a new favourite in my collection- it's effortless, elegant, and endlessly wearable. Hooked.'

I tested three lipsticks with clever colour-changing tech – one hydrating option suits every wearer
Scroll down to find out which latest perfume will transport you to an old-school ice-cream parlour PUCKER UP I tested three lipsticks with clever colour-changing tech – one hydrating option suits every wearer IF I told you there was a lipstick that suits everyone I'd forgive you for telling me it's not possible. But thanks to clever colour-changing tech, which works like a mood ring for your lips, they do exist.

BUDGET Barry M Genie Lip Paint, £5.99 for 3.5g, 4 Barry M Genie Lip Paint transforms into a bright pink shade when swiped over lips Credit: Barry M On opening, this gave me a fright – the bright green bullet looks like it's straight off the set of Wicked. But thankfully, it transforms into a bright pink shade when swiped over lips. The fuchsia stain sticks around for hours, so you won't need to top up.

But it's a great party trick if you're in a crowd, as it is guaranteed to start a discussion. MID-RANGE Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey, £25 for 1.9g, 4 Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey will bring out the dominant tones in your skin Credit: Clinique Advertisement Unlike most adaptive lipsticks that use pH reactions to change colour, this is made with a unique mix of cool and warm tones, which will bring out the dominant tones in your skin. Nude Honey is the newest launch in the iconic range, which started with Black Honey – which now sells seven times a minute globally – then saw Pink Honey added. With the most colour out of the three, Nude Honey has '90s brown pigments that really do suit every wearer. 'Lasts better than any lip color,' beauty fans gush about $9 lipstick combo that 'doesn't smudge' & 'stays on forever' I like that you can somewhat predict how it's going to look when applied – plus the formula hydrates your lips, so I've been wearing it every day.

That said, once you've worked out which one suits you, you'll find it is brilliant. Advertisement It's hydrating – the brand claims it moisturises lips for 48 hours, although I drink far too many cuppas for any lippie to last that long. And it provides just enough shine to make lips look fuller without the stickiness or gloopiness of a gloss. Plus, the pink and silver packaging is adorable.

I'm a beauty writer and Clinique's new lipstick is the perfect summer makeup staple
I'm a beauty writer and Clinique's new lipstick is the perfect summer makeup staple Clinique's new Nude Honey has recently launched and beauty writer Eve can see why it's already such a hit Clinique has introduced a new Almost Lipstick into the fold: Nude Honey and beauty writer Eve Rowlands tried it out (Image: Eve Rowlands ) When it comes to wearing lip products in the summer, I personally want something that feels lightweight and that doesn't require too much maintenance. Something that stands out as something different to my natural lip colour but doesn't need too much upkeep throughout the day (nor something that melts off in the heat). And after trying out Clinique's newest Almost Lipstick launch, Nude Honey, I think I've found the perfect summer lip product. Now, I will admit, I have never really been one for nude lipstick, I tend to favour a bold red when my skin is behaving (hello Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Vixen) in an attempt to enhance and brighten my usually quite pale complexion. On the days when I want something a little less va-va-voom, I opt for a lip balm to give my lips some much-needed nourishment. However, having tried Clinique's latest addition to its viral Black and Pink Honey Almost Lipstick empire - the new Nude Honey - I think my nude lippy days are here. Read more: Roman's go-to summer midi dress for weddings and parties now has 21% off Read more: Fashion writer's 'top picks from Ann Summers' festival collection ahead of Glastonbury Having followed the viral success of the brand's previous Almost Lipstick shades - black honey and pink honey - I had high hopes. And they were well and truly met. Firstly, the formula is silky smooth and is both shiny and creamy. It feels super nourishing and hydrating on the lips and best of all doesn't leave their dry bits with a bit of a crispy cast that my trusty lip balm hasn't quite managed to eliminate (something red lipstick tends to accentuate). Shop it here £25.00 Clinique Buy Now on Clinique Product Description Clinique's new Almost Lipstick shade Nude Honey Priced at £25 the product - which is described as somewhere between a lipstick and a lip gloss - claims to be buildable and is available at both Clinique and Boots. Of course, if £25 is a little steep, there are a number of tinted lip balms out there that'll help do the trick, for example Lanolip's pink Tinted SPF30 balm at £8.99 or KIKO Milano Coloured Lip Balm, £6.99. On first application, the colour is quite sheer and doesn't change the lip colour drastically but instead gives it depth. To add to its colour, let the lippy settle for a few minutes and then add to it - this should then create a deeper hue that is warm with brown undertones but it's too warm to wash me out. Although I will say the brand says that the colour of the lippy looks different on each wearer but is the ideal blend of warm and cool pigment. Beauty Writer Eve Rowlands wearing the Nude Honey shade in Clinique's Almost Lipstick (Image: Eve Rowlands ) As for the texture, it feels like applying lip balm thanks to smooth, shiny make up but is a tad more luxurious with its silver casing and lipstick shape. The emollient-rich formula leaves my lips looking subtly glossy - but not overly so - and without the stickiness a lip gloss delivers; a detail I love when it comes to lipsticks as it means I don't get strands of hair attached to my lips should a gust of wind blow my way. Its long and slender casing makes it convenient to carry in my handbag too as it's lightweight and slim. Plus, being relatively small - in comparison to more chunky lipstick shapes - the packaging offers elite precision during application. Now, having worn it a number of times to different occasions, one constant I noticed was that it doesn't last all day. After a few hours, I needed to reapply the product - although it wasn't too much of a bother and is typically the case with lipsticks anyway. It also may require a bit of lip liner too as I found that it bled out over my natural lip line, which needed touching up in the mirror. Article continues below I also loved that it didn't have a scent - not chemically nor sweet and sickly. While I've not yet experimented with it over or under any other lip colours, as suggested by the website, I do enjoy the boost it gives my lips when worn alone and will definitely be incorporating it into my daily beauty regimen.

'We tried Clinique's 'Nude Honey' lipstick that's perfect for summer'
Clinique's iconic Black Honey shade has been joined by Nude Honey, a new lip colour that's designed to enhance our natural lip colour and make them 'like your lips but better' If there were a Hollywood Stars Walk of Fame for beauty products, Clinique's Almost Lipstick in the shade Black Honey would undoubtedly earn a spot, not least for its universally flattering shade and balmy texture. Selling seven tubes every minute worldwide, according to the brand, it's very much the hot commodity today as it was when it launched in 1971. Following a resurgence in popularity in recent years thanks to TikTok, Clinique has gone on to develop the beloved formula, releasing the lesser-known (but equally gorgeous) Pink Honey in 2023. Now, the American cosmetics company has once again expanded the Honey lineup with a new, equally adaptable hue: Nude Honey. Described by the brand as 'the only nude you need,' Nude Honey features the same sheer, balmy texture of the original, and is designed to enhance our natural lip colour rather than mask it. It has a much more neutral tone that boasts a carefully balanced mix of warm and cool pigments, creating a shade that looks slightly different on everyone. Like its predecessors, it features a sheer, buildable formula with 95% conditioning ingredients for a comfortable, soft-shine finish that hydrates the lips. Of course, at £25 per tube, the price point for what is essentially a tinted lip balm, may be too expensive for some shoppers. If so, the Glossier Ultralip High Shine Lipstick is a close alternative, coming in slightly cheaper at £22. For something even more purse friendly, the No7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick is £9.95. That said, the Clinique Nude Honey is already raking in the accolades from shoppers. Online, one shopper said: 'I already love my pink honey, but this may be a new favorite. It is a beautiful natural nude.' 'Obsessed! It's giving nude but with a warm, golden hour glow. Adore the sleek package too,' said a second, though others have found it requires regular top-ups, commenting: 'Have been wanting to try this for a while which I wish I had before purchased I like the packaging but doesn't last very long on the lips at all therefore need to top it up which seems to defeat the purpose.' Another added: 'Excited to try the new Nude honey, it glides up nicely just like Black honey, and gives me a really natural glow. My lips feel hydrated and comfortable too.' So it seems to have the seal of approval from shoppers, but what about our team of beauty writers? Three women put the new shade to the test and here's what they thought. Bethan's thoughts: For a decade straight, Mac's Velvet Teddy has been my signature lip shade, so it's safe to say that a nude lip is my go-to. I enjoyed Black Honey's plummy hue (particularly in its lip and cheek oil form), however, I was less keen on Pink Honey when it launched a couple of years ago. But Nude Honey? It's a bit of me. So much so that I've not worn anything else since it landed on my desk. Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss, its texture is more like a tinted lip balm that can easily be layered. One swipe offers a sheer wash of colour, like 'your lips but better' with no need for a lip liner or mirror. It's an incredibly forgiving formula, which makes it perfect for on-the-go. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive as it's fragrance free, there's no dragging or waxy feel. Instead, just heaps of hydration, a hint of colour and soft-shine finish. The tone is warm and I feel like it makes my skin glow when I wear it. They really have nailed the 'perfect nude' here. For the moments when I want my makeup to pack more punch, I found it does build easily to a more opaque shade for more drama, while still remaining lightweight and comfortable on the lips. Even after a full day at work followed by an evening of cocktails, my lips still felt soft, though I did reapply once in a while to bring back the colour. It's not the most longwearing formula in the world, but the fact that it's easy enough to reapply without a mirror negates that. Sorry Velvet Teddy, but this is going to be a Nude Honey summer. Jada's thoughts: Nude lips have been my go to since I first found Mac's Whirl as a teenager. I love how easy they are to pair with every outfit and love how well nude shades compliment my skin tone. I've seen the rave reviews for Black Honey and while it does look lovely I've never felt the need to take the plunge since it's slightly more vampy than I'd usually go for, so when I heard about Nude Honey I was immediately interested. Clinique famously dropped Black Honey in a few different formats, even including a mascara, but the new Nude Honey is only available in their balmy Almost Lipstick. The formula is lovely on. It's not greasy but leaves a nice level of shine and buildable colour which is a big win for me after years of chalk dry lips from matte options. I recently went to Ibiza, which had scorching hot temperatures that left my shoulders on the dryer side, and wore this out for dinner and drinks. My lips remained super soft and moisturised the entire time, although I did have to reapply after greasy food items. The tube is quite narrow which I think makes application a little bit easier, which was great when it came to topping up my pout as I didn't need a mirror. This is definitely one of my favourite products this summer. Eve's thoughts: I've never really been a nude lipstick kind of gal thanks to my typically dry lips. I lean more towards a bold red when my skin is playing ball (hello Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Vixen) bid to make my complexion look better and brighter. Or a lip balm if I want something more natural that also gives my usually dry lips some TLC. But having tried Clinique's newest iteration of its viral Black and Pink Honey Almost Lipstick - its new Nude Honey - I may be somewhat of a convert. The formula, first off, is silky smooth and creamy, feels nourishing and hydrating on the lips (very important) and best of all doesn't leave a bit of a crispy cast on the dry patches that my trust lip balm hasn't quite banished (something red lipstick tends to highlight). Costing £25, the lipstick is buildable - the colour isn't too strong on first application - and is great for those who want to build a heavier, deeper nude lip or contrastingly something that enhances natural lip colour. Applying the products feels just like a lip balm in texture but a bit more fancy thanks to its silver casing and lipstick shape. The emollient rich formula leaves my lips looking subtly glossy - but not too much - and without the stickiness a lip gloss delivers; something I usually love about lipsticks. Clinique claims that this new nude shade looks 'different on every lip' as it has the perfect mix of warm and cool pigments. With one layer, it leaves my lips looking slightly darker and more mauve-y than usual and it certainly gives me a more 'done up' look. It's long and thin casing makes it easy to carry around in my handbag too and it gives me more precision when applying. It doesn't stay on all day and after a few hours I've had to reapply the product, but that's not too much faff and is usually the case with lipsticks anyway. I enjoy its fragrance free finish too and lack of stickiness. While I've not yet tried it over or under any other lip colours, as the website says can be done, I do like the boost it gives my lips when I wear it alone and will certainly be adding it to my every-day beauty routine.

Clinique Made A Nude Version Of The Black Honey Lipstick & We're In Love
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. If you've spent any amount of time lurking on BeautyTok, you'll be familiar with the legend that is Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, $25. This sheer, universally flattering cherry lipstick has more or less achieved icon status, beloved by beauty editors and celebrity makeup artists alike. Black Honey's appeal is pretty easy to sum up: Thanks to a mix of warm and cool pigments in the formula, the tinted lip balm imbues a natural berry-like color that somehow looks different, but lovely, on every skin tone. So when word got out that Clinique is growing the Almost Lipstick family with the launch of Nude Honey, $25, we could barely contain our excitement. This latest shade expansion promises to be equally wearable, but with a neutral twist. Given the internet's ongoing fascination with all things Black Honey, we're confident that Nude Honey will be charting the same path to cult status as its older sibling. Here are our thoughts on why it's shaping up to be the next viral beauty hit this summer. Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey, $25 Venus Wong, senior writer 'Like many beauty editors, Black Honey sits at the top of my makeup rotation. I turn to it whenever I want a just-bitten wash of color on my lips. Fresh from the tube, Nude Honey actually looks strikingly similar to its predecessor, but the magic happens once you swipe it on: unlike some of the nude and light brown lip stains and tints I've tried, it didn't make me look like I've just had an espresso and had forgotten to wipe my lips. Instead, Nude Honey adds a dewy apricot-pink coat. As someone with cool and neutral undertones, I often struggle to find lip colors that don't skew too warm. Not Nude Honey, though. The formula contains both warm and cool pigments, and the lip color was a natural fit. I'll be turning to this lipstick on the days I want to look understated but put together.' Jacqueline Kilikita, beauty director 'I have a confession to make: I'm not huge on Black Honey — mainly because it skews too pink on my light olive skin — but Nude Honey is just right. The phrase 'my lips but better' is an overused cliché in beauty, but it's the only way to describe this shade. Looking back at my selfies wearing it, it suits me down to a T, don't you think? There's something about the peachy nude that pulls the rest of my makeup together, making everything look more polished and uniform. Beyond the spot-on color, I love how deeply moisturizing it is. When I apply it in the morning, my lips stay soft and hydrated right through to lunchtime. Like its berry-tinged counterpart, the staying power is more like a glossy balm, and you'll need to reapply it throughout the day, but I don't mind. The thin tube is sleek enough to slip into even the tiniest handbag.' Vanese Maddix, contributing beauty writer 'As a fan of Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, I was pleasantly surprised by the Nude Honey launch. The brand describes it as 'a surprisingly flexible nude that looks different on every lip,' and I'd say that's pretty spot on. Nude Honey enhanced my lips beautifully, with a subtle warmth that brings out my natural lip color. Is the pigment buildable, though? Not quite. The more you apply, the shinier it gets, but the color payoff remains about the same. This isn't a bad thing, but just something to keep in mind. What I really love is how nourishing it feels on the lips, no doubt thanks to its 95% conditioning formula [think castor oil and plant-based waxes]. It's the kind of product I reach for on days when I'm not wearing much makeup but still want something on my lips. The best part? It makes my lips look super smoochable. I'll take 14 of these, please!' Karina Hoshikawa, senior writer 'I don't think I could've created a better dream lipstick than Clinique's Nude Honey if I tried. I'm not much of a lipstick girl because I don't love the feeling of having something heavy on my lips, but this texture feels like a gorgeous lip balm with a hint of tint. I'm a fan of Black Honey, but it can sometimes be a little plummy on me for a casual daytime look. Nude Honey, however, is the perfect warm-toned neutral with a hint of muted red that makes my olive skin glow. It's become my new go-to for an easy, effortless lip, and I love how compact the sleek tube is. I almost never finish a lipstick simply because I don't use them all that often, but I have a feeling I'll be restocking this one soon, the way things are headed.'
