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 looks great on all skin tones, and applied lightly gives a totally natural-looking hint of colour to lips - stops you looking washed out but isn't such a strong look as lipstick, and not so...

For some reason, I'm getting back into red or stained lips like I did 8 to 10 years ago. My hg back in the day was Black Honey over Chanel Vamp...and it stayed put. Being a bit more subdued these...

I received a sample and I didn't think it would be all that special because I've heard that Lip Smackers Dr. Pepper lip balm (my HG!) is a dead ringer for this lipstick. So I tried "Black Honey"...

I have used this for years. I love the color and the sheerness of it. I can also wear this over another color and it looks pretty.

This is a perfect color for fair skin tones! It adds a little berry coloring to the lips (as if you've been kissing someone minutes before). I'm so glad I finally bought it.

This color is good for my neutral fair-medium skintone, and I can layer it easily. It feels really nice and moisturizing, more like a lip balm than a lipstick. I think that several companies have...

The ONLY reason i wouldn't buy this product again is because I'm a drugstore snob. I love a good bargain and I don't think $14 for almost lipstick is a bargain. I'm cheap, so sue me. That being...

I love this lipstick. It's the perfect YLBB shade for me. It leaves just a hint of a raisiny stain. It works with a bare face or a completely made up face, and I find it to be neutral so it works...

OMG. This stuff is fabulous--I can't believe I've danced around it for so long. This is the first Clinique lip product I've tried. Black Honey has such a cult status--everyone's heard of it. ...

I really like this color on me, it turns a deep mauve which is one of my favorite lip shades. It does not have much lasting power, but no lipstick does as I am constantly rubbing my lips together,...

I love this because it's sheer and looks natural on my lips. Without this, my lips look sort of washed out or blended in with the rest of my face and I look plainer. It doesn't dry me out but I...
