This is a staple. I only wish it had more staying power. Its the most natural color I've ever used.

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 don't care for the color of this. I am fair skinned and dark haired and this color just looks too harsh on me. It turned a dark brownish purplish color on me and I don't like dark lipsticks to...

This is a very complementary red with my pale skin tone. I like that I can apply very little for a sheer glossy red or more for a dramatic evening look. It's moist and feels healthy on my lips...

I'm not very loyal to any makeup. Generally when I finish a tube or bottle I just move on to something new and different. I am on tube #3 of Black Honey. It is truly my HG.

I have been using this lipstick for a year now. I find most lipsticks very drying. This one is quite moist and is the perfect shade to wear under any Lancome Juicy Tube lip gloss. It looks...

Ok, I felt like I just had to buy it too, like the others. So I did. I knew I would spend more than I am used to for lipstick/lg. I figured it's Clinique, I never heard anyone complain about...

This has been my HG color for a long time. On my (reasonably pigmented) lips it's a sheer berry-plum with just enough brown in it to look good against my easily-flushed skin.
Black Honey is a HG...

I'm on the constant lookout for the MLBB lip product, and this comes close. I use it with MAC Spice liner, and I find it to be soft and moisturizing. Unlike my other standard lippies, I find that...

When I first saw Black Honey it was in a little green plastic tube. What a disgusting lipstick, I thought, as I dialed up the very vampy looking shade. What can you expect from a free gift though,...

Wanted to like this, but found it thoroughly unremarkable. Yes, the color was somewhat pretty and natural looking, but it took at least 2 coats on me to get decent coverage. I was also...

This is supposed to be a universal color for everyone, not so in my case. This turns FUCHSIA on me, not pretty at all. I think it is better suited for those w/ cool skintones(I have warm...

This is the first Clinique lipstick I've purchased, which I only got because of all the rave reviews I've been hearing.

Yes, I like it. But another universally flattering and much cheaper lip tint is TerraTints lipbalm in Blaze. It's minty, 18SPF, and $3.99 a tube.
