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.

My HG lip. It's like a multiple b/c of it's buildable color. One swipe is enough to look healthy like someone else said, but I like it a bit darker with my med beige/Asian coloring. It's just a...

I purchased this item untried from Ebay. The color does NOT look good on me. It's an orangey brown sheer color. It also doesn't last very long on me. I'll give it to my mom.

The color is 100% perfect. But the almost lipstick is so waxy, it just sits on top of my lips and forms into a kind of sludge within the hour! I still give it 3 lippies because of the color, and...

This is the only lip colour I have repurchased again and again. I love the buildable colour and finish. My only wish is that it had more staying power.

I can't wear this by itself. It's just way too dark on me so I don't reach for it often. Mostly when I want a more business-like look. But it looks sensational either under a lighter gloss, or over...

Very pretty! The color looks a bit like my lips have been stained by eating berries. This isn't completely opaque, it's more of a wash of color. It lasts a couple of hours before I really need to...
