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 have used this l/s off and on for about 5 years and recently rediscovered it. It's a sheer brown-berry that's seasonless and perfect on nearly every skin tone. I agree with the other MUA-ers who...

I didn't like this when I first bought it but I can't remember why. When I tried it again a couple months later I found it very flattering. It's a sheer dark berry.

Great sheer red that can be appropriate for either day or night. I like wearing this when I look tired, as it really seems to brighten my face up. Weak staying power (on me it usually fades...

While Black Honey doesn't work for everyone, it does work for just about everyone, making it one of the 'must-haves' in my makeup bag. It's sheer and feels light on the lips. If you're seeking a...

Great tint. brightens the complexion. After this runs out, I will get Burt Bee's Coffee Lip Shimmer instead, because it looks exactly the same on me.
