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 agree, great for any skin-tone/color combination. Terrific color on it's own or over a lipstick. Wish it would stay put longer....

I've been wanting to try this for awhile now, I received one in a swap today. It is really moisturizing, but not sticky. Awesome color!!

Another HG product. This color works for everybody but in different ways. On me it is a subtle natural berry and the only berry I know of that isn't too red or purple on my tan skin. Goes on light...

I like this. nice packaging. smooth, glossy texture. on me this is almost more red/orange than berry- I don't know why! This is still nice, and is a good alternative to a thick lipstick or a goopy...

Black Honey leaves a hard to describe plummish-reddish-brownish sheen on my lips. It's extremely flattering and beautiful, I can wear it always with just about anything, texture is lightweight and...

I wouldn't buy this again. I'd heard so many rave reviews, but it was simply nothing special - a sheer lip gloss. It settled into the lines of my lips almost immediately, and was off within a...

This isn't highly exciting, but a nice color. A bit of a no-brainer really- it makes my lips a pretty berry shade, which I like to top with gloss.

beautiful deep purple that stains the lips burgundy. this is a classic. moisturizing and glossy. not very longlasting, but the slim, sliver tube makes it a pleasure to reapply.
