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.

Very sheer - almost too sheer and it seems like I have to put a ton on to see any color, hence the tube that I bought is not lasting as long as I'd like. Also, the formula is very drying and chaps...

I love the color of Black Honey- it is fabulously sheer despite its almost black appearance in the tube. It would look great on any skin tone. I keep it in my purse because I can brainlessly put...

I LOVE this Almost-Lipstick. It seriously is great. Now, dont be intimidated by the very deeeeep plum-like color, it doesnt even apply close to that color. Its actually very sheer, and the first...

this product is a little drying and wears off pretty easily, but the color is versatile and absolutely to die for. this "almost lickstip" has a nice, sumptous feel. one of my faves!

This has been my staple for a looong time - love the color and sheerness. But the last two times I've bought it I've noticed it's been pretty drying. Not sure if the formula has changed, or my...

This is a great lipstick! I keep this in my purse as the sole lipstick since it goes with everything. It feels light and smooth but lasts a long time. Love it!

I got this in a GWP years ago. Really smooth application. The color looks scary in the tube, but it is sheer and gives a fresh-just-bit-into-a-berry look. Would recommend for all skin tones...

This is a nice lip product- right between being a lipstick and a gloss, hence the "almost lipstick" category. On my lips it goes on more reddish than anything, but it's also a sheer moisturizing...

I love this color, its perfect, especially since i like heavier eye m/u. it is also very moisturizing and feels good, not waxy. I had to take off 1 lippie for lack of staying power, which is the...

This reminds me.. Where did my Black Honey go? I used to use this everyday, until I lost it. And I have some similar plummy colors, but they're not as sheer, so I'm trying to use those up...

While $14 isn't $40, it still isn't cheap, and for the money this lasts all of 10-15 minutes. I have to CONSTANTLY reapply (far more than other sheers) and that's a waste of money and product. ...

Can't belive I haven't reviewed this yet! Black Honey is my all-time favorite lipstick. It's sheer but buildable, moistrurizing, and fades to a nice berry color. I've been using this off and...

Clinq's Almost l/s in Black Honey looked absolutely horrible on me. I don't know why but it just didn't do me any justice. The color turned out to be a dark cherry on me and washed me out. Also,...
