Clinique Black Honey
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Its not ment to have more pigment. Its not a lipstick, its a almost lipstick. It has a clear base and therefore fits many skintones really well.i love the subtle redish brown. Gives me the my lips but better color.
- Fenty lipliner in Riri, Clinique Black Honey, and I top it off with the Raspberry Jamz lipoil from Fenty:) Without the gloss it's a nice cherry cola lip, and with it it's like a berry look!
- Other lipsticks I reach for regularly are Clinique Black Honey, Essential Jennifer, MAC Love Child and Makeup by Mario Rosewood Glow.
- Clinique black honey might be a good way to start wearing lipstick
- I like that it has a similar amount of pigment to a tinted lip balm but feels more like a lipstick - a GOOD lipstick. It’s very smooth.
Cons
- I do own this product and it dries out my lips. It was great for its time but today there are better options.
- I noticed in the Clinique Black Honey, the grade is A+, but it has just as many neutral as positives. Having used this myself, it's incredibly meh and had I read more neutral sentiments, my expectations would have been way different.
- I don't know what the black honey hype is about. Probably for people with a slightly different skin tone than me.
- I want to love it, and I do *like* it, but what can it do that the Burts and CoverGirl can’t? A few swipes of the Burts is kinda the same as 1 swipe of Black Honey, and if I want way more pigment, I can get that with far less swipes of t...
- It is matte, so I sometimes toss a gloss over it (either the red Trixie Cosmetics gloss or Clinique Black Honey).

It works well with any skintone. Often similar shades from other brands pull too pink or warm. Black honey somehow just gives that “your lips but better” on most people.
I get it on sale for like $12 and love the slim, iconic bullet. Color wise, it's dupable but I rebuy for the nostalgia it holds.
I love the formula and the buildable tint, though.
