Illamasqua’s Intense Lipglosses are definitely the first to come to mind, as they are deliberately opaque and usually deliver! Urban Decay’s Revolution glosses are pretty opaque as well. The lipgloss/stain hybrids (Giorgio Armani, YSL Glossy Stains, etc.) are also nice but aren’t quite gloss, IMO.

Revlon Fire colorburst gloss, it was insanely pigmented and bled all over the place, hot mess but beautiful in a swatch! You gave it an A 🙂
Yep. Same here. I’ve got it in red: a gorgeous red mess. LOL
Hmmm not sure… The NYX Intense Butter Glosses are pretty intense!
I agree on the UD glosses! I also think the ABH ones are crazy pigmented – it’s the first lip gloss I’ve tried where I feel the need to wear a liner underneath. It’s more like a glossy liquid lipstick!
NYX intense butter gloss….it’s a glossy lipstick!
Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer , Covergirl Lip Lava, Nyx Intense Butter Gloss.
Revlon HD glosses are super intense!
My first two picks would be Nyx Intense Butter Gloss and UD Revolution Lip Gloss! Both pack a serious punch of pigment and LAST!
Oh, and how could I forget; Revlon HD glosses!!!?
The UD Revolution glosses are the best I’ve tried, but I don’t use a lot of lipgloss.
Out of what I own:
Korres and Cargo make pretty pigmented lipglosses
Marc Jacobs and Buxom Full on Lip Creams are both pretty pigmented imo.
I’d have to say Nyx Intense Butter Glosses because I’m not the biggest fan of gloss in general, so I’ve only tried a small amount.
Revlon Ultra HD and NYX Intense Glosses -many beautiful shades that pack a wallop of pigment, at very budget friendly prices, love them!
NYX Intense Butter Glosses for the win. They’re pretty opaque and economical.
I agree about the Illamasqua Intense Lipglosses! They’re basically liquid lipsticks. At the drugstore, the Revlon HD are pretty pigmented, and for high-end brands the most pigmented I have is probably a Dior Fluid Stick.
Armour Beauty for sure! Their opaque glosses are really pigmented and look like a glossy lipstick, and they’re really moisturizing and long-lasting.
NYX Intense Butter Glosses have awesome pigmentation, great color range, and inexpensive
Shiseido Lip Lacquer. I think it’s technically a liquid lipstick, but these are very pigmented, shiny, and last for hours. Beautiful colors too!
Thanks for the recommendations guys! will check them out because all my glosses are sheer as …uhm.. glass:D
OOH that’s a toughy but the BH Cosmetics has been great and now the Too Faced Melted liquid Lippies are fabulous. Great formula but also great pigmentation for both.
Bobbi brown has a few full coverage glosses that are beautiful. One in particular that I love is a dusty rose.
