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 on my third tube and have loved it over the years. Of interest, my second tube I bought had a faulty twist-up mechanism and I couldn't push the lipstick up in the tube. I wrote Clinique to...

Since I won't be eating this lipstick anytime soon, I found the taste to be that of any lipstick. And the color is great! I can make it as light or as dark as I want. So it gives me a natural...

Looks like I'm in the minority ... I can't stand the taste of this stuff, or the smell, and it's too sticky on my lips. I don't even like the color - too red.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? At first glance, this looks like it would be WAY too dark, but as soon as you apply it you get a perfect YLBB shade. Great for everyday wear!

This is a very versatile unobstrusive everyday lip sheer. I almost never wear highly-pigmented lipstick, because I don't want to mess with liner, lip brush, etc. I prefer the natural look. This is...

It's a nice sheer lipstick - feels very moist on your lips. A very versatile color.

I agree with everyone else, this is a "no lipstick" lipstick. It looks like a soft red stain on my lips, not glossy, but moisturizing.

Black Honey lipstick is a good color -- I'm PPP, so this isn't a "natural look" for me. Although the color goes great with everything, I prefer something that doesn't feel this dry on my lips. I'm...

I always have a difficult time finding a lipstick or gloss color that suits my skin tone; colors either end up being too brown or too pink. This is definitely is one of my HG lip colors! This...

A mellow lip color that is pretty and flattering, but in my opinion isn't that great. It looks nice if you're going for a natural look.

This is a nice sheer lipcolor. Perfect for everyday wear. Very natural wearable red color that I think would flatter most skin tones.
