You can tell if you have 'super' pigmented lips when you put on lipstick/gloss but your natural lip colour is still kinda obvious. that's a bad description lol but it's basically what DirtyPlum said - if they're deep in colour

If your lips are the same color as your skin then they wouldn't be pigmented.

I think I remember reading that Angelina Jolie has really pigmented lips and she used to hate them when she was younger, so she would wear a greenish-gray concealer as lipstick.. yikes!

My lips aren't SUPER-pigmented, but they definitely have a noticeable color of their own. That's why I don't like to wear lipstick w/ more than a couple shades difference, because I think my natural color looks best on me! Mine are like a mauvy-pink, so I can just throw on some gloss and i'm good to go.

ITA.
I know my lips aren't as pigmented as some people I've seen, but I definitely have trouble wearing some lipsticks/glosses because my natural lip color shows through too much. I hate when the beautiful color in the tube does not appear as pretty on me due to my natural lip color.
In fact, I just wear lipbalm a lot since my lips are so pigmented on their own.

Or you know if they really stand out from your skin colour. My lips aren't that pigmented so I can count on my glosses to look just about the same on me as in the tube.
