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 use this all the time, love it's subtle color and smooth feel. I keep one in my purse and one in my desk at work. Very easy to apply without a mirror.

This is the first piece of makeup that I was allowed to wear and I still love it. It's a very pretty sheer red color, and it isn't messy like most reds. Supposedly, it looks fabulous on just about...

I recently "rediscovered" how lovely this looks on my lips. It was my first lipstick purchase back as a teenager. I clearly remember everyone lemming it back in 96 or so. Now, it's back in my...

It looks vampy black in the stick, but shows up a berry color on my lips. Nice and glossy, without being sticky and thick like many lip glosses are. Very natural looking. A great one for a casual...

I really like the color of this lipstick and texture when applying it. However, I don't like the dryness that comes later on. Have to vote against repurchasing as I bought 3 (work, home, purse)...

This is probably only the 2nd lipstick I've ever repurchased. I adore this colour. It gives me a beautiful shine and colour to my pale lips and very pale skin. The reason I gave it a 4 instead...

This has been my fallback for years, through college, grad school, and the 9 to 5 routine. It's my only color on a weekend errand run, but it's also perfect for a business casual environment...

I received this as a GWP awhile ago (finished it ages ago!), and I fell in love. The color may seem like a wine-berry color, but it is actually really natural. It just adds a tint to your lips....

I can see why this is such a popular product - it moisturizes, glides on effortlessly, gives a nice, natural sheen to the lips.<p> My only complaint is that it is half the size/weight of other...

Great color that goes well on many many skintones. It can change color, depending on your body chemistry. Use as little or as much as you want to change the intensity of the color. Easy to swipe...

Too much ado about nothing. This is a very sheer, berry shade. On my lips (naturally a rosy pink), it adds barely a hint of colour, if that. The quality of the gloss itself is hardly exceptional. I...

The best lipcolor on earth, a wine-berry shade that never turns pink/magenta on me and can be used all day and night.

This lipstick is the best lipstick I have ever used. The color is great--berry pink--and the texture is awesome. This will definately be my HG.
