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.

While it looks scary in the tube, Black Honey is THE PERFECT lip color! I have very pale skin and brown hair and this is the perfect, quintessential you-only-better lip color -- a neutral...

I totally love the color of this product. I have only bought it one time, and the rest of the time it was a free gwp. I think that it feels good on my lips and is very sheer.

This color looks very natural and pretty on me. It doesn't dry out my lips too bad either. I really like the skinny package it fits easily into the smallest purse, and it looks cool too

This is an awesome shade of lipgloss. After reading all the great reviews, I had to have it. It was free gift time and I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to add up to the free gift...

Been using this gloss stick for years... and I still love it. Very Dark in the tube but nice and sheer on the lips with a subtle berry like color that probably looks best on people with "cool" skin...

I am a ppp. Every time a magazine mentions this lip gloss I pull my Black Honey out and give it another try. No more. I am tossing the gloss in the trash. It turns orange on me.

Black Honey is a Clinique classic, but unfortunately, it doesn't do it for me at all. I'm a very pale, neutral toned PPP and like some other reviewers have stated, it turns orange on me. Very...

This really does look good on most people, and it's a classic for a reason. I've bought several of these over the years, since the color works on me and it can double as balm in a real pinch. Too...

This is a HG for me. It makes my lips luminous and shiny without being sticky. Since it goes on lightly, I don't have to fuss with liner or spend time making a perfect line. (I have toddlers in...

It has a nice color and it goes on smoothly. It looks like it's going to be a really dark color on the tube but goes on kind of sheer.

A classic. I love the color as it is flattering, but it does not last on me.
