How pigmented do you prefer your lipsticks?
I like opaque coverage, as I can always sheer them out if desired. I find that opaque coverage tends to apply more evenly!

Very pigmented! I’m not a fan of sheer lipstick for myself.
The more pigmented the better for me. I wear lipstick so I LOOK like I’m wearing lipstick. I like pigmented but I also like a moist, hydrating texture/finish (and decent wear-time is also nice!)
I need decent pigmentation, preferably full opacity. I have naturally slightly darker mauve toned lips and my natural color will impact the color of sheerer lipstick. Also, I am a fuss free makeup wearer; pigmented lipsticks are quick and easy to apply without streaks and are more long wearing.
I like an opaque (red) lipstick that really stands out!
Mostly, I prefer very pigmented because those seem to stay put for a far longer time on my lips while wearing them, apply smoothly, and just tend to look more plush and saturated. Also, they are way less likely to “wander” past my lip line.
However, sometimes, I do like something more juicy, and slightly translucent like MAC Amongst The Fireflies, PML or UD Sheer Slowburn for summer. Also, for more casual winter wear, PML Ultra Vixen or Flesh 3 whatever they’re called!
Very pigmented and opaque.
I like my lipsticks to be really pigmented, creamy and hydrating – none of this sheer rubbish for me.
Exactly what you see in the tube, that’s what I desire.
