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 has been a staple in my makeup bag since high school. The color in the tube is pretty scary but don't be put off! It'll look like a wonderful transparent glossy reddish/brownish color on...

This is one of my favorite Clinique lip colors. I have used this one off and on for years. It looks very dark but on it is a very sheer raspberry. I think that this color would look good on almost...

Bought today, used to use the black honey they priginally made in a pot. This is a great gloss since now you can't have anything "wet" in your carry on. Gives good shine, moist, and for me - a...

Definite HG material. Black Honey looks almost black in the slim silver tube, but it goes on a deep raspberry. Beautiful. I think it look great with my summer tan or naturally fair skin. I wish it...

Nice colour and texture but a little dark on me. Not the versatile MLBB colour I expected.

This is a beautiful lipstick. I only wear this on special occasions because it is somewhat dark. This can complement any complexion. For better intensity, wear gloss on top.

This would be a nice color in a gloss, but it goes on very jammy and smudges easily. Also does not stay on for long.

Stunning glossy brown/red colour which brings out my dark eyes against my fair skin. I adore this as a glaze over other lip colours. Moisturizing formula. A classic.

I have tried this on and off for close to 30 years and it always goes too orange on me which is unusual for the Clinque lipsticks/glosses of all types. Ah, well... NW 20, brown hair, green eyes.

This is a universally flattering shade that looks scary deep purple in the tube but actually just comes on glossy with a hint of color very similar to natural lip color. You can build the color up...

My all-time favourite lip colour! Sheer, buildable colour that you can layer on for a stronger look. Moisturising but non-greasy and SPF15. Even my boyfriend, who hates makeup, likes this on me!

I stopped by the Clinique counter last night and said I wanted to try this "black honey" shade everybody raves about. The MA obliged me, and I have to say that I really, really like this product. ...

This is a great color for everyone. A sheer natural berry. At first it looks too dark, but it is so sheer - almost like a balm - that it flatters all skin tones without looking like you're wearing...

I bought this since a lot of friends claim this is fool-proof. And I do agree that this is a YLBB shade. Works well on my PPP NC15 tone. I'm happy about the price too, one of the cheapest among the...

I jumped on the bandwagon, and found this on Ebay. There seems to be quite a bit of competition for this, so the price tends to be between $15-20. While pretty, it is essentially a lip balm with a...

Hate to say it, but I really wasn't fond of this. From best to worst: The packaging is *perfect*. It comes in a thin silver tube that stashes away easily even in a small purse. The texture was...
