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 really like this lipstick because of the packaging and the fact that it's not a thick lipstick, but a very light feeling one.....however I hate the color. It looks really bad on me. Maybe my lips...

NW25, Lt. Brown, Blue/Hazel, Combo, No Breakouts. This is my all time HG lipstick! The perfect color for all skintones. Not too heavy or to sheer, just right! Love it, and have repurchased several.

I got this in a Clinique Gift with Purchase in the fall and I love it! It looks scary and dark in the tube but looks gorgeous on my pigmented lips and it complements my tan-coloured skin very well....

Well, I have to say, this totally lives up to the hype. It goes on smooth and light, and feels fantastic on my lips. The color looks great- it comes out a light, sheer red/purple on my lips. ...

Ok, I've been wearing MAC lipstick, so that definitely biases my opinion. However, I don't find this Black Honey to be drying like some posters stated. In fact, I think it feels rather...

I've been wanting this for a while and finally bought it. Although it looks very, very dark in the tube, it comes out a very pretty color that slightly darkens my lips, perking them up. I really...

This lipstick was designed to bring out the natural tones on the wearer's lips. It's the most popular selling Clinique lipstick by far. I much prefer the black honey gloss with the wand because...
