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.

This was my very first lipstick. I had just finished my freshman year in high school. My mom, who only believes in department store cosmetics, brought me to a Clinique counter and the Clinique...

Wonderful product. I have very fair skin, so I was afraid it would be too dark. It goes on relatively sheer (compared to how dark it looks) and looks beautiful! It makes my lips feel soft and...

A classic! I'm sure it doesn't need any more favorable reviews, but I must write one, I love it so much! Usually I just wear nude or light pink gloss, but when I feel like going all out this is...

I love this product!!! The formula is so moisturizing and silky. The color is universally flattering. In the tube, it looks almost black, but it's actually a very sheer red. The color enhances...

Hands down, my favorite lipstick of all time. I only own about 4 or 5 lipsticks anyway, because most shades look ridiculous with my fair complexion. This is the only real colored lipstick I have...

Okay, I bought into the hype and tried this after liking the superbalm gloss during the winter (found it too thick for summer). Well, this is a huge waste of money in my opinion. While it IS a...

I have worn this on and off for years and years. It is a nice, glossy sheer brownish berry color. The color is scary in the tube but definitely goes on as a pretty universally flattering color....

Cult classic that I keep repurchasing. It has no lasting power but I love love the colour and the packaging. I really like the lightness of the product. If only it had a bit more staying power it...

As I said in another review, lipsticks and most lip glosses make my lips peel and burn, which takes about a week to heel....I cant wear lipstick, period...very sad!!! This, on the other hand, is...

This is my HG of makeup. Black Honey and some mascara and I look at least presentable. This AL is just enough to look polished, yet sheer enough to be almost natural. It's also great to layer...

I love the idea of this product, a sheer lipstick. I am not really a lipstick person. I have a small mouth and I think that lip color accentuates that. I I remember I had bought this AL in Black...

Clinique's Black Honey Almost Lipstick is the first 'lipstick' I bought, though I consider it to be a tinted balm. Because of its sheer color, it comes off differently on different people and it is...

At first the lipstick looked a little dark in the tube but then I applied it and it was great! It gave me a berry wine stained look to my lips and it wasn't to pricey either.

A sheer, berry color, that is subtle and flattering. The consistency is nice, too, not thick at all, feels nice.

I absolutely adore this stuff. My natural coloring is fairly dramatic and I find that if I wear a true lipstick it often makes me look way too "made-up." This is perfect. It's sheer but very...

I want to love this -- the color is just perfect on me. Unfortunately, it dries and chaps my lips like crazy. Every so often I'll get one in a GWP and try it again, hoping maybe they've changed the...
