Concentrated Pigment Drops Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all foundation, bronzer or just about anything else. We live in a customizable age. Although beauty companies are meeting the made-for-me demands in numerous ways, the most user-friendly trend is pigment drops. These superconcentrated cosmetics allow you to add color to your moisturizer, sunscreen or serum -- one drop for sheer coverage, more for full. Or, you can apply them directly to the skin for a more intense result.

Our Editors' Pick winners include Isdin Isdinceutics Skin Drops, $52 -- a foundation pigment that feels like a dream -- and BareMinerals BareSkin Sheer Sun Serum Bronzer, $28. TotalBeauty readers chose Algenist Reveal Concentrated Color Correcting Drops, $38, as a color-correcting winner.

Up next in this category is concentrated SPF that turns any moisturizer or makeup into sunscreen, like Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops, $145.
