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.

Holy Grail for me, sheer YLBB color with just the right amount of gloss. The look is soft, natural, and just a little sensual - perfect. I've purchased this several times and will definitely do...

I tried this years ago and didn't like it at all, but recently I gave it another try after reading all the rave reviews about it in mags and on here. Maybe they've changed it since the first time I...

I recently bought this again to try, the last time I wore this was when I was 12 years old! (I'm 27 now) I still love it, it's a sheer, red/berry color, fab!

This is a staple. Clinique Black Honey is a color I know I can always depend on. The shade is great on my PPP lips in the Fall / Winter and add that punch of deep berry that I'm often looking...

Not a great product, not a bad one neither. I have first purchased this in grade 8 for those after swim practice need a lip moisturzer with tints. Until it got stolen. Sounds pathetic but it...

I got this as a GWP, and let me just say: I fell in love with it! At first I was a bit hesitant to try it on, the color was called 'black honey' and usually I'm more of a 'bubble gum pink'...

I love Clinique's lipsticks and this is no exception. This reminds me of a cross between lipstick and gloss. I have ash blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin and this shade compliments my coloring....

This was a GWP. I love how silky and moisturizing it is, but it was way too dark for me, which is why I give it 3 lippies. I have blonde hair and I felt like a freak with such dark lips. It...

Really like this color. Love the color and consistancy. Only problems are that after a while, the cap got loose and kept falling off in my purse; and color is not long lasting.

I love this. It is hard to find sometimes. I'm a PPP with brown hair and blue eyes. Don't let the color in the tube fool you. It goes on much more sheer and lighter. I've given this to many friends...

NOT good on me. Not by a longshot. Glad I tried it on at the Clinique counter, rather than order sight-unseen. It would have been returned PRONTO. As I walked out of the mall into my car, I...

I wasn't too impressed with this. I've read so much about it in the magazine and it's supposed to be the universal lipstick color. Well, this certainly didn't suit me. I have fair skin and this...
