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've been buying this for years. It's my HG "lipstick". I'm not really a lipstick (nor lipgloss, for that matter) person. I like to look nice (and I wear almost all other forms of make-up), but...

Very, very good. This is just a great color. Not too dark, but enough to give a little drama! Looks black and awful in the tube, but on the lips it looks like a lovely deep plum. Very soft on...

I love this product. Its natural and pretty with a hint of shine. It appears very dark in the tube, but it goes on sheer. I like the smooth, light texture, and it doesn't have that weird lipstick...

By the term “Almost Lipstick,” they mean “sheer.” In the tube, it looks very dark and garish, but the color is a sheer berry wash. It is definitely a subtle look. It’s nice as a quick, simple...

I love the almost lipsticks because they do not smudge on the teeth and on other things. They really have the look of lipstick without the bad parts of it.

Looks scary in the tube, but you can't overdo it. It goes on sheer but you still get a lovely wearable deep berry stain. This color will work on anybody.
