I am very disappointed because I expected a berry brown but instead, my lips were orange brown. It doesn't last long either. Ugh! Enough said

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.

My signature lippie. I've been wearing this shade for years! A nice, brown-toned red. It looks great on me. I'm a PPP with yellow undertones. It has a slippery feel on the lips. It doesen't last...

I have *very* pigmented lips, so this is not dark on me at all. In fact, it is the perfect MLBB look. It really brightens up my face, even though it is subtle. Best of all, it is non-drying. I...

this did nothing for me. I am PPP and as pale as they come. the color did not complement my skintone, and was way too dark. it gave me that "little girl playing in mommy's makeup" look. :(

I read in an 2003 InStyle mag that Black Honey was many people's HG lipstick, flattering for everyone. I was disappointed when I tried it. It was too dark on me, a PPP.

I think that this color looks lovely on a wide range of people. It has a purplish color, which was probably a little trendier in the 90's, but I still love it.

way too dark for a fair skinned girl like me. Besides, it only stays on for about 4 minutes. so glad this was a freebie.

I've had this for awhile and while I like the sheer color, texture and consistency, my only complaint is that it makes lips look thinner. Don't buy if you want to plump your lips up.

This is an ok product I guess. The color is supposed to be a "your lips - but better" shade but it's not on me. It's far too burgundy in my opinion and I can only get away with wearing it very...

Sorry, but this just has not ever worked for me, somehow makes my thin lips look more so, and ends up looking too dark and obvious on me (PPP).

Bleh. I expected this to give me sexy just-bitten YLBB berry lips. But on my MMM/ yellow undertones this stuff made me look not only scary but dead scary. My lips are lightly pigmented so I figured...
