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.

Okay so I assume that people who say this is more of a lip balm/lip gloss didn't take into consideration that the product is called 'Almost Lipstick', am I right? Don't complain, I'm pretty sure...

Nobody does nudes/MLBB better than Clinique, and Black Honey is my favorite of them all. My lips are fairly pigmented, so I get a slightly deeper, rosier tint when I use these. Pleasant light gloss...

This was my HG lipgloss for many years and I've repurchased it countless times. I think I first discovered it in high school. This worked great when I lived in more humid climates, but it hasn't...

I've used this for years.. Looks good on everyone. The color is kinda intimidating at first sight, but give it a try, it looks GREAT. No where near as black as it seems. :O)

I love the colour and the sheerness of Almost Lipstick, but I find it very drying. My lips are always very dry for a couple of days after a night spent wearing (and reapplying) this. That doesn't...

Like alot of people said, this is a nice product but its not all that. It basically enhances your natural lip color. In my case, I have pigmented lips so it gives me a plum color. Its somewhat...

Love this. Looks a bit scary in the tube, sort of purplish black. But once applied it's a beautiful, glossy, bitten sort of shade, like your natural lip color intensified. The only con for me is...
