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.

This is is one of my HG lip products. I can put it on without looking. One coat gives a natural look, but the color gets more intense with multiple coats. It lasts a long time and is moisturizing....

A true oldie, but favorite. I remember this lipstick-balm since 1995. This blows Fresh lipbalms-lipsticks out of the water. They last longer and the color fits all skin tones. It is a MLBB type of...

This is a great colour and I believe it would be flattering to most - I am pale with red hair and it complements my skintone. One downsize is this does not last. It is moisturising and feels...

I use this like a lip balm. It's comfortable to wear and I like the sheer colour. If it were slightly more pink than brown, I would reach for it more during the daytime because it would be more...

This is a very easy color. I treat it almost like lip balm. It is a bit too waxy for my liking. And it is a bit drying to me. the color is excellent though.

Years ago (like, back in the 80's), Clinique had a whole line of "Almost Lipsticks" in a variety of shades. They were all replaced with "newer/better" formulations over the years EXCEPT for Black...

This one lived up to the buzz! I love the color - it's a sheer rosy color that just looks so nice but very casual. Don't even need a mirror to apply it. Although this is not a long-lasting...

The color of this is like a very sheer mix of brown, berry, and red with a soft shine. It's true that everyone can wear it, although somehow I don't like the color that much (probably because of...
