Brand note

Clinique is the brand your mom probably used, and for good reason — their core products are reliable, no-frills staples that do what they say without a lot of fuss. The Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is the clearest anchor here: a sheer, balmy formula that gives a wash of color and feels nice on, though some find the texture not as smooth or hydrating as they'd like.
