6 Pigment Drops That Will Totally Transform How You Use Foundation

Ace your base every time with transformative pigment drops
These work equally well at both darkening and lightening existing complexion products, ensuring that you always end up with a shade that perfectly matches your skin. (FYI, they blend especially well with primer, too). Both the color and coverage get more intense the more drops you add, though a little goes a long way. And can we talk about the price for a second? We've paid more for a latte.

The OG of pure pigment drops, these were the ones that started the trend. Thanks to Cover FX's trademarked technology, as soon as the product comes out of the bottle, everything but the pigments instantly evaporates, making this a much thicker and easier to control formula that isn't the least bit runny. Those pigments are also coated with lecithin, a fatty substance that's biochemically similar to skin, making them supersmooth and easily spreadable.

Some days a girl just needs a little complexion coverage, and some days she needs a whole lot more. Hey, we've all been there. Happily, this liquid foundation lets you go from sheer to full (and anywhere in between) with the squeeze of a dropper. Start with one to two drops, and gradually add more, depending on how much coverage you crave. (And for extra-smooth application, use the NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation Brush, $14.) Bonus points for the impressive range of 24 shades.

You know when you buy a foundation and then realize the color isn't quite right? Maybe you've lost your summer tan, or maybe you're more bronze than usual. These drops are here to save the day (and save you a trip to the store to return said foundation). Available in either a lightening or darkening variety, they subtly transform the color of any complexion product: The former lightens and neutralizes yellowness, while the latter darkens and adds depth and warmth. We suggest having both on hand, just in case.
