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 is something that I've been meaning to buy for years and years, but I always seemed to forget about it when I'd be out shopping. Finally picked one up and you know what? It's a forgettable...

I like the texture of this product - almost like a lip balm, and glossy too - but it turns a weird orangey rust color on me. It's a no-go.

This goes on a little too dark for me. Looks a tad harsh. I like softer colors. Plus, it doesn't last that long.

On me....meh. The color and texture are nice, but there are a million other berry-colored lipsticks out there for much, much less money. As for staying power, though I am not a fan of...

Over the years I have bought about 5 of these. It's such a sheer lipstick/light gloss in a colour that just seems to blend in with your natural lip colour. It's truly like having your own lips...

Great color, flatters many if not most skin tones. Goes on less intense than it looks in the tube. Light texture. I layer it over lip balm (as I do with all lip color).

I got a sample of this in a magazine and I wanted to love it. But, like many lipcolors with brown in it, it made my lips orange. I liked the formulation and would probably try one of the other...

Let me join the chorus of praise. The color is perfect, as one reviewer said, almost vampy but in reality very flattering. My skintone ranges from NW15 to NW35 depending if im tanning or not. On...

I love black honey. The color on my PPP cool toned skin is sheer eggplant/berry. The formula is nice, goes on smoothly and stays on for up to 3 hours on me. I am pushing 40 and this is a shade that...

This is a fantastic product. It looks terribly dark, but it's actually a really sheer lip stain. It looks fantastic with almost anything -- one application can give a dark/bright stain without a...

I tried a sample of this recently and it does go on lighter than what you think it might! It's long lasting and very flattering. I didn't think I'd ever find a dark lipstick that would look good...

Love Black Honey - one of the few products that I have repurchased a number of times. It's a sheer, reddish tint for lips that is buildable for more intense color. Depending on how dramatic I...
