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 LOVE this color, sheer, mlbb (I'm MMM). But it doesn't stay on long at all. The packaging is attractive, but the top kept coming off in my bag. Won't buy it again.

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...

I wish this product worked for me, because I really love the color. Sadly, it does not work for my fair skin and light coloring. I think it makes me look older.

This is a very nice brown red shade for the natural look. I can't pull this color off without a lipliner because it is so warm, and barely shows up. On my complexion, this color doesn't work well,...

My coloring is very close to that of Shannen Doherty, so this is the perfect shade for me...dark hair, pale skin. It's the "go-to" lip color.

I love Black Honey! I think it will turn into a staple for me. This is a great "your lips but better" shade, and with my FFF/MMM Asian coloring, it shows up as a natural, light berry shade. Great...

Not bad, not great either. It is a nice color but a bit too sheer for me and it didn't last very long.

This stain doesn't stay on for long. Plus the color doesn't look right on me. It's too bright. The waxy feel of the lipstick is also bad. I still need to apply chapstick on top of this.

Nothing specially here. Just a sheer berry shade that emphasized any dryness in my lips. I really didn't like this at all.

I would say that the trick to this lippie is to not put too much on. If you try to layer it, it becomes too slick and uneven, but if you use a light touch you'll get moist, deep berry coloured...

Scarily dark in the tube, this glides on smoothly to coat your lips with a naturally bitten lips color. This is one of those shades that would suit most people. The product comes in a very sleep...

I like! It's a very sheer lipstick, (not glossy) that has a berry tone to it. I have very pale skin, so while it looked very scary in the tube (dark brown), it looks very natural on. Will probably...

I must be one of the few ppl who just can't do this lipstick. It does not look good on me, unless I'm after the smudged prune look. Almost lipstick as a product are nice just not this one for me.
