description

Transparent pigment merges with the unique, natural tone of your lips to create something wonderful and yours alone. Clinique's cult classic Black Honey is more than lipstick. It's a phenomenon. This iconic shade is famous for its chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on everyone. The secret is its perfect blend of blue, red, and yellow pigments in a creamy, sheer base that melts into lips, playing up their natural color. Don't be fooled by the way Black Honey Clinique Lipstick looks in the tube. Transparent pigment glides on a sheer, glossy slip of lightweight color. Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.

Nice color and texture. But for the price should have more moisturizing feel and a sunscreen.

Way too much money for such mediocrity. Nothing special for me at all. I am NW20 with rosey brown pigmented lips. It also skews painfully brown/red clay toned on my deep winter complexion.

Ladies, save your $$. Buy Burts Bees Sheer Lip Tints in Raisin, it looks the same color in the tube as the black honey and goes on your lips w/ the same berry stain. Burts is $3.99 and is 99% all...

A staple in my arsenal since high school. And that was 20 years ago! Omg, how depressing... Anyways, if you are new to this, do not be put off by the color in the tube. It applies much lighter,...

I gave into the hype and bought it. Is it the most awesome thing ever? No. It is a sheer glossy berry, on me it's not bright or vulgar, gives me just a wash of berry color. It's pretty and...

This is really pretty. Way way overpriced, as is all makeup in Australia. I paid a hideous and rather embarrassing amount of money for this, well over $30 and it is basically just tinted balm. A...

Black honey lip gloss in the pot was THE lip gloss to have in the 70s/80s. Why oh why did C. decide to discontinue it? I loved my pot gloss. This stuff is garbage. The C.G. Natureluxe Gloss Balm in...

I purchased this many years ago because this was not a color or formula I'd ordinarily be attracted to. I was needing something other than my red and garnet lipsticks for a change. Shortly...

Well, it didn't work well for me, colorwise. *sigh* I had to give it away to a co-worker because I didn't feel like have to add other colors on top of it to work. I was looking for something sheer,...

Love this lipstick!! I will always repurchase - perfect for jeans and t-shirt. You have to apply often - but I don't mind since it's glossy and that's what you have to do. Very casual, no way to...

Perfect! I'm not a fan of bold lipstick colors (not on me anyway) and this is just what I've been looking for. It adds just enough color without being really obvious. I can see myself using this...
