Hi, im looking for tips on how to achieve this particular character style? Skin, facial morphs, settings etc. I know it's 100% daz but I'm not sure on how to get started. I've currently been experimenting with G8 but I feel like it's a little too masculine. Any tips please? Thank you :)
I can't find anywhere online that sells characters like these

It looks like an older character (or rendered with something like Filament instead if iray)
If you wanted to stay with G8 and iray, possibly helpful might be:

https://www.daz3d.com/surgical-beauty- (If you can't find a character like that you can also buy more general morph sets for the generation you're working with)
You can make the skin surfaces glossy in the surfaces tab in Daz or get a wet-look geoshell from the store
Alternatively https://www.daz3d.com/wet-body-filament-for-genesis-8-and-81 (if you want to go with Filament)
Lots of options if you go older generations too
If you can sculpt, making your perfect character is not too difficult in a free program such as Blender, however you will need the skill/incination to create it. Morphs and body shapes will be able to get you close, but they cost money (there are free ones around), and there is a learning curve to use them well. A third option is to hire an artist to make the character shape for you, this is the least effort on your part, but will cost you the most money.
If you can't find a "close enough" character from one of the PAs I recommend you spend some time looking at the morphs and shapes section of the store, and see if you can find what you want.
You can dial spin the base G8F character figure with body morphs, that will adjust every individual part of the body. Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs | Daz 3D
For example there are breast and hip morphs that could match the example you gave.
Then you can adjust the head and face with head morphs. Genesis 8 Female Head Morphs | Daz 3D
You can try starting with one of these which are already kind of stylized.

To achieve glossy skin, check out this tutorial. You can basically ignore steps 1 and 3 if you want, step 2 alone will give you similar results to what you've shown.

Character reminds me of Briony by Anagord (Renderostity), it's obviously not the same character but maybe a good enough starting point.
Good luck!
