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.

It's a pretty color and goes on much lighter than how it appears in the tube. However, I need more color and staying power than what this product gives. I wound up giving it to my niece who is a...

For me, this is yet another staple. I keep it in my purse for when I am on the go to teach or to go to class. Even if I have nothing on my face, it perks my face up when I apply it. It gives...

Yet another satisfied customer! I love, LOVE this lip color. Yes, it looks intimidating in the tube, but it goes on oh so sheer. The shade is somewhat of a berry color and is so pretty once it's on...

Further edit: I changed my rating again, to ONE lippie, because the packaging sucks and crushes the lipstick easily in the tube! It also seems to melt very easily! Too bad; I wanted to like this....

I got this when I purchased the new "Almost Kit" at Sephora. It looks scary dark in the tube, but when it's applied it gives the most natural wash of color. This is nice for boosting natural lip...

This was my go to lipstick at work for years. You can just throw it on and look good. It's HG material, for sure.

This is my HG beauty product. I've used this daily for about 20 yrs. I have simply never found anything I like as well. Black Honey looks shockingly dark and vamp-y in it's slender silver tube but...

Looks dark but it's actually a sheer berry color. Looks best on paler lips. Gives me a healthy look. More coats=darker color. Cost me about $13. Texture is creamy, look is glossy. Wears off...
