Some people are asking who's that girl? But fans really want to know what that girl's lip color is. Thankfully, Brittany Cale on TikTok has found the exact shade of lipstick that Zooey Deschanel wears in "New Girl." The color is a neutral berry tone and would look stunning on anyone — literally. The universally flattering shade is great for any age and any skin type. They say that you can't have it all, but this lipstick says otherwise.
There's a good chance that you'll recognize the name of this lipstick when you hear it. This shade went viral on TikTok for being a universally flatter shade. It might be a throwback, but this lipstick is one that you're definitely going to want in your makeup bag. That is, if you can find it to get your hands on it. Here's everything you need to know about the viral "New Girl" lipstick shade, so you can shop accordingly.
Zooey Deschanel wears Clinique's Black Honey lipstick in New Girl
When it comes to lipsticks, the best inspiration comes from onscreen characters. Not only can you see what the swatch looks like in real life, but there are makeup artists picking the most stunning shades. Zooey Deschanel's "New Girl" lipstick is no different. According to TikTok, the actress wears Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey in the show.
If that lipstick sounds familiar to you, that's because you've probably heard about it before. The Black Honey lipstick went viral on TikTok for being a universally flattering shade (via Elle). In the tube, the lip shade looks almost completely black, but it shows up a berry shade when swatched. Not only that, but the shade is blendable so you can get as little of much color as you'd like.
This is truly the unicorn of lipstick, my friends. It looks great on just about every skin tone. Plus it goes on almost sheer and light, so it's great for all different ages as well. Basically, you can't go wrong with this lip color.
Black Honey is hard to get your hands on
Before you get too excited, you should know that this product is extremely hard to get your hands on. It might be a throwback shade from Clinique, but the $20 lipstick is sold out almost everywhere at the time of publication. According to Newsweek, this shade sold out everywhere and sells out each time there's a restock because of TikTok. The shade went viral when a brand new generation discovered how universally flattering the shade is. When the beauty community finds something great, they show up and the product sells out.
At the time of publication, Sephora and Clinique are both sold out of the viral lip color. According to the Clinique website, you can still purchase the color right now. The only catch is that it isn't in stock, so you're going to have to wait a bit to actually get your hands on it. The website does not give any indication of when the lip color will be in stock again but it does promise to ship it as soon as it arrives.
Black Honey has an incredible history
This lipstick actually has a pretty incredible history. According to Glossy, Black Honey was launched by Clinique in 1971 but in a pot instead of a stick. That's where it gets the name from. The publication states that the shade wasn't made into the Almost Lipstick formula until 1989, and the product has stayed the same ever since. It's always super fun when a throwback product starts getting noticed by a new generation.
As Brittany Cale on TikTok points out, you've likely seen this shade onscreen without even knowing it. Zooey Deschanel isn't the only one who has rocked the shade. Cale says that Liv Tyler worked the shade in "Lord of the Rings", Julia Roberts wore it in "Stepmom", and Troian Bellisario wore it in "Pretty Little Liars." Basically, it was super popular even before it was super popular.
Fingers crossed that this color comes back into stock soon, because it's too good not to have in your makeup bag.
