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 think this is an easy go-to color and formula for most skin tones. It just works with the natural blush of your natural lip color ... but enhances it beautifully. It leaves my skin with a hint...

Leaves a nice tint on the lips. I like it because I'm usually not the lipstick type. Packaging is nice, BUT the cap has come off a few times in my purse - wish they could make it sturdier. Value...

Black Honey has a great, "safe" color that seems to flatter just about everyone. It goes on sheer but builds well, and the lasting power isn't too bad. While I like the shade, the formula seems a...

I just purchased this about two weeks ago. I wear it everyday. It gives lips that healthy, almost-raspberry-but-not-quite look. It's just a really pretty, sheer color and it doesn't feel sticky or...

Love love love this lipstick. Very sheer, but adds the perfect amount of color and shine. (Might not be great for darker or warmer complexions.) Not only does this flatter my very fair complexion,...

I have full well moisturized lips. Minutes after applying this it TOTALLY dried my lips out, creating those ugly "dehydration" lines in my bottom lip. Yuck! In addition to that, it bleeds out of...

I love the color. Texture is ok. The only thing I don't like is that really emphasizes dry lips.

This may be proclaimed as heresy but Clinique's Almost l/s in Black Honey seems abit over-rated to me. It feels like just another slippery tinted lipgloss and while the sheer color can be layered...

I received this with a GWP. Overall, I think it's a good product, but not great for me. I liked the idea of an "almost lipstick". Quick and easy to apply as long as your lips are in good...

This lipcolor takes me back to junior high. Its a great, quick "I'm naturally this pretty" kind of lip color. It is a very earthy, sheer brown berry shade. I like to wear this on my easy, "don't...

The berry-stain color darkens a few minutes after I apply it, and can be layered for a more dramatic effect. I usually blot it a few times after application so it isn't as dark. I wear it like any...
