very expensive but I love the ysl candy glaze. i have shade 13 and it’s so beautiful and it makes my lips look so plump and juicy. it stays on your lips for quite a long time for a lipgloss. i have a medium neutral skin tone. I’ve been thinking of getting shade 04 as well 🫣
you should definitely try water tints. my favorite are the ones from clairins because of how pigmented they are but I know some Korean brands have cheaper ones. you can also try benetint or the Ulta brand dupe of the benetint.
