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.

This really is all that and a bag of chips. Hype is justified in my opinion. I'm very fair but I can wear this because it's so sheer. It just gives me a little depth of color but not too much. I'm...

This is a great lipstick that deserves it's cult classic status. It is a cross between a lipstick and a gloos, more like a balm. It applies sheer, but is buildable to add more dimension and depth....

This is my HG lipstick. It's actually a cross between a gloss and a lipstick. I apply balm first and then a couple of swipes of this for that perfect MLBB effect. It looks super dark in the tube...

It’s nice to see an old friend having a moment. Black Honey has proven itself to generations of users, and I’m glad to see it’s still got a place in the world of beauty today.

No flavor or smell. It's a perfect daily color. It's so much lighter than how it looks. And this is probably one of the few lipsticks that don't dry out my lips. My lips chap like crazy and I...

I got this as a Sephora sample. I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I know it's wildly popular and it's meant to be kind of like a gloss. But it was really poor for me. It was patchy and had poor staying...
