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.

I love this color. Great for taking pictures but that's it. As long as it take you to say "no staying power" it's gone. I've tried mixing it with stickier balms to get it to stay put longer but...

I like the thin size of the bullet of lipstick, it feels like a lip balm when you put it on. It looks like you just ate a blackberry and stained your lips. The color is sheer and buildable to a...

I am a Clinique chica -- and have been wearing this for years. Not heavy, great sheer color. And I happen to love Clinique's clean, no-fuss packaging. But then again, I'm not a foo-foo girl.

This is one of my HG lipsticks/gloss/products. I always have this with me. It layers beautifully over/under most other colors. And it is truly flattering on most everyone. On me it's a lovely sheer...

This is my HG lip product. It's the perfect amount of color and sheer shine: not quite a lipstick and not quite a lipgloss. The color, texture and packaging are perfect for my cool coloring.

Been using this since the early '80's on a very regular, repeat, never-run-out basis...guess that alone tells you I really like this product!

I have been wearing this color for years. Great feel, easy to use and wear. Nicely polished look. The only problem is that it makes my teeth look somewhat yellower.

I've worn this lipstick off and on for over a decade. I like it -- the sheer, lip balm-like texture is wonderful -- but I don't love it. Oh, I want to. I've wanted to for years, but something about...

Like most of the other reviewers, I love the color (as does my husband when I am wearing it), but it simply does not last long enough.

This is one of those products that's suppose to work on everyone. Well it doesn't work on me. Sheer red thats a bit too warm for my NW15 skintone.
