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.

Pretty, sheer colour that looks good on everyone I've forcibly applied this to. It is a bit scary to look at in the tube, it appears almost black, but I promise this is not even red on your lips....

The thing I really didn't like about this product is that it had that lipstick taste. It was a bit of a turn off. Other than that, the coverage is fantastic, and the color is suitable for everyone....

This is a superb product. The color looks intimidating, but when applied, it goes on as THE MOST PERFECT shade of rosy, berry, gorgeous, wearable color. The texture is great, shiny but not sticky....

My lips have a dark undertone to them. In the tube, the color looks intimidating to me. But on my lips, it's a dark berry, but very sheer. It doesn't have much staying power. So I find that I...

I am still not sure about this. I like the idea and the color is just okay. It is moisturizing but it does emphasize the dryess as the color goes into the dry little cracks when I'm chapped. It...
