What level of pigmentation do you prefer in a gloss?
I like them sheerer and very sparkly or more opaque if they’re going to be less shimmery.

I like them semi opaque so it’s more versatile.
I prefer a little pigmentation but not full pigmentation. My lips are naturally pretty pale so I like to give them a little life.
If I’m going to wear them as a topper over lipstick, then I I love a sheerer base with sparkle or shimmer. If I’m using them as my primary lip product, then I go for opaque regardless of finish.
I prefer tinted but sheer with shimmer or sparkle, for layering over lipstick or alone for more casual looks.
If it’s a metallic or cream shade, I like them completely opaque.
I don’t use milky glosses at all, or non-shimmery/sparkly light shades such as beige, champagne, pale pink, etc.
What Rachel said!
As I don’t wear lipglosses, it is tricky for me to tell, but I think I would either like a lip gloss to go over a lipstick or be pigmented enough to wear on its own.
