The Best Clinique Products, According to Beauty Editors

It's been an exciting year for Clinique. Back in April, the legendary beauty brand finally launched an official storefront on Amazon, their iconic Black Honey lip shade was declared the number-one lip color in the U.S., and just this month that shade expanded to mascara and a new lip-and-cheek oil. No one's more enthusiastic over all this news than NewBeauty editors. In a testament to Clinique's 40+ years of trusted formulas, when asked their favorite Clinique products, our editors all named different picks. Here's what they said are the best Clinique products.

High Impact Hi-Fi Full Volume Mascara ($28)

"I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve recommended this mascara to people. I have horrible allergies, and usually end up rubbing my eye makeup off by the end of the day, so Clinique’s allergy-safe, ophthalmologist-tested mascara has been a game changer. Plus, the tapered brush makes for the perfect, fanned-out lash look." —Isabelle Buneo, editorial assistant

Clinique Chubby Stick ($23)

“I still love the cute little Chubby Stick after all these years. The shade Whole Lotta Honey is that perfect nude that you can throw on in the back of a cab without a mirror and looked more pulled together. It’s so moisturizing that I’ve even used it as blush when I’ve been traveling and forgot mine.” —Brittany Burhop Fallon, beauty director
