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 usually have a hard time trying to find a lipstick shade that will compliment my skin tone. Everything I've tried just looks too dramatic on my usually-pale lips... That is, until I discovered...

Loved the name, and loved the color in the tube...but it turned pink on me and seemed to gunk together on my bottom lip. I don't quite know how to describe this...perhaps it was an old tube.

I do like this for a sheer wash of berry color - especially with a tan in the summer. Bought it because of some mag rec, and reach for it often to occasionally to differ from my nude or pink...

When i opened this, it was this scary, pretty much black shade. I applied it to my lips and it came out as a sheer berry shade that was suprisingly very pretty and natural. This would probably look...

I've heard so many raves about this but it did not work for me. It was too pink. The packaging was cute though.

Black Honey is a pretty red tint with a hint of brown, sheer and natural. I had to layer it on to get it to show up. I like it, but I don't understand the raves, especially considering how often it...

I listened to the hype and was very excited to try this "perfect for everyone" item. Unfortunately, I'm one of the few people this just didn't look good on. I kept trying and trying, but couldn't...

There are so many raves about this on the boards and on Productville that my curiosity was piqued, even though this product is expensive for such a small tube. It's a sheer red-berry color that...

Another fan of Clinique's Black Honey. I only wish that it would last longer because it really wears off quickly.

Just wanted to chime in here from a redhead's perspective. This is a reddish YLBB sheer lipstick that yes, indeed, a redhead can wear. I find most reds look just appalling on me - they clash with...

This is a staple in my purse!! I'm on my fourth tube now-and I don't normally finish lipsticks or lipglosses! Yes, it is a bit expensive ($13.50 U.S), but there's no other color like it...

I wanted to add my review in order to comment that Black Honey is often touted as suiting everyone's coloring--but it doesn't. On me, a PPP with naturally pale lips, it gives a dark berry, almost...

A nice glossy berry shade, reminiscent of the Black Lily lipstick by Clinique. It's really in between a lipstick and a gloss, since it's glossy, but has more pigment than a lipstick. It goes on...

Clinique is a bit out of this college girl's price-range....but this item is so wonderful I'll actually spend the $! It's the only department store item I buy. Wish it lasted a little longer, tho.

This product is actually not that cheap, as there is only 1.9g of product in each tube (for $17.50 CDN), so price per unit is a bit more expensive than a Shiseido sheer gloss lipstick (which is...
