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.

One of my favorite lip poducts. Very sheer, flattering color (on me anyways), and it give lips the best hint of color. It is also moisturizing which is great! Would def buy again

What is the big deal about this lipstick? It seems that people have been raving about it for years. It is not universally flattering - I have (slightly tanned) fair, rosy pink skin, and it...

I honestly don't know how someone could describe this as "too dark" because it's very sheer, borderline too sheer for me and I've got very pale skin, dark hair and green eyes. I have to wear a lip...

I have been wearing Black Honey on and off for years and it is one of those shades that never goes out of style. It always looks modern and fresh, no matter what look is "in" for the season. I...

This is a staple of my makeup bag. If I just swipe on a little, it imparts a ripe shine. Rub on a whole lot and it's a supple berry. I like the brown undertones. It's the best blackberry...

This lipstick was used by Arwen (Liv Tyler's character) in the first Lord of the Rings and while it looks great on her, Black Honey looks fuschia on me. Otherwise, I love how smoothly it applies...

Here I am, the one person this does not look so good on! It's actually sort of flattering to my skin tone, but darkish colors tend to make me look more "mature". I still said I would buy this...
