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'm a PPP with red hair, and this is one of the few pinkish colors I can wear. It's like natural lip color but better and with a little gloss. Very natural but "finished". One of the rare...

This is a sheer deep berry wine shade that looks unflattering and a bit fuscia against my ppp warm skin tone. The texture is nice, but it doesn't look natural or even good on me.

I have actually used up two tubes of this, which is unprecedented for me. Sheer, shiny browny/red/rose; goes with everything. My only complaint is that the tube gets beat up pretty easily.

I love this! I love my lipglosses, and this is great because it's not as messy as a gloss, because it's hard like a lipstick! (But shows like a gloss) The color is a sheer medium dark berry, looks...

The shade is a univerallly flattering shade, as I am well aware of. I do like the shade, but it doesn't last! I have to keep reapplying it. But I guess it is worth it as a lipgloss, not lipstick....

I'm not a 'make-up' person but do like a sheer, natural lip tint. This is definitely the most naturally enhancing color for me (dk brown hair/eyes, porcelain pale skin with yellow undertones). Yes...

Very ho hum, considering the legend. Basically a berry-colored gloss stick. Not lasting at all. Gives an OK slight black-raspberry gloss over on lips. I don't understand the fuss.

Wonderfull! I love that the color comes out much more sheer on my lips than in the tube. It gives my lips just the right amount of color and gloss, perfect for days.

Ok, I guess I'll throw my two cents in here as well. I bought this one because of its near legendary reputation, and I have to honestly say I don't like this very much. It's not bad by any means....

This is my favorite lipstick. It is like a gloss but last longer and the color is very sheer and very flattering. This is the best color.

I bought this on a cruise for $6. At first I was turned off by the color in the tube - it looks like a very dark lipstick, almost black. But when you apply it on your lips (try on the back of your...

This is a lovely berry color, that lasts for about 3 hours, like w/ any other "almost" l/s. It is moisturizing and w/o any unpleasant smell or taste. The packaging is nice, and unlike what one...

I love this lipstick (if it can even be called that). It looks "almost black" in the tube, but the color actually is very light, almost like a tint. It gave me very pretty raspberry colored lips...

It wears off right away. The skinny stick breaks really easily. And it's just not quite "there" enough, color-wise. I won't buy it again.
