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 absolutely cannot leave the house without this. Don't be put off by the almost black colour of the product, it goes on a beautiful "your lips but better" shade of dark plum and gives a sheer...

I am pretty fair but I tan easily, and this color is sometimes a bit too red on me (I don't look right with red lips). If this was a little more purple it would look perfect on me.

This color does not look great on me. edit: I now am liking this color. If I put it on lightly it gives a great hint of color on my lips. And it doesn't feel heavy like some lipsticks do.

Of all the Clinique lip line -- I must say this is probably the only thing that I would repurchase. I love the sheer color (even though I looked Dark in the tube) :)

Everything is nice about this product except that it just doesn't match my complexion. The color looks strangely bright and garish on me. If you are Asian, don't buy this product until you've been...

Well I may be in the minority here but I just didn't see why it was so special. Reviewing lipsticks is difficult as colour and skin tone vary - however I was told this was meant to match all skin...

I bought this due to all of the good reviews on here, and love it! It's glossy, but feels like a lipstick. It's the perfect sheer red color that I was looking for.
