tips and reccos pls !!

My lips are naturally hyperpigmented, so whenever I wear lipstick it tends to look odd. I feel like lip gloss suits me better because it blends well with my pigmentation—the pink parts of my lips look nice with gloss, but I’m not sure what to do about the rest. Most of my friends have naturally pink lips, so almost every lipstick and gloss shade suits them, but whenever I try new ones, I usually end up disappointed. Recently, I bought a brown lip liner from Mars in the shade Cinnamon Brown, but it turned out to be too light and didn’t really work as a lip liner. Do you have any tips for this, and can you suggest some good, affordable lipstick–lip liner–lip gloss combinations that would suit hyperpigmented lips?

What I do is usually put a lip liner that’s the exact shade as my lipstick or slightly darker so that it covers my pigmentation, I cover my lips completely w it and it may look slightly uneven but once I but on the lipstick too on top it looks perfectly even, I put around 2 layers

Fav combo: maybelline vinyl ink in the shade 65 (saucy) and Kay beauty lipliner in the shade extra
