Cover FX
Cover FX was arguably the brand to kickstart the makeup drops craze a few years ago with its line of ‘Custom Cover Drops’ — a series of makeup drops which creates customized foundation coverage. The brand has since extended the concept to highlighters, and its ‘Custom Enhancer Drops’ offer a luminous finish in shades ranging from pearly pink to striking gold. To stretch summer out as long as possible, try ‘Sunset’, for a deep, sunkissed bronze.
Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops, $65
Tarte
Feeling nostalgic for the beach? Invoke memories of the ocean with Tarte’s new ‘Rainforest of the Sea Radiance Drops’, which are designed to give you a ‘healthy, mermaid glow’. The drops can be rubbed directly into the skin, blended with foundation, or even applied under lipstick for a fresh, dewy look.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Drops, $50
Sephora Collection
Sephora Collection’s ‘Radiant Luminizer Drops’ come in three different hues — a luminous pink, a champagne tone, and ‘Ultralight’, a shimmering bronze. When dabbed onto the cheekbones, browbone, or any other area you’d like to highlight, they add a subtle but summery glow.
Sephora Luminizer Drops, USD$14
Algenist
Clinical skincare brand Algenist got technical when creating its ‘Reveal Concentrated Luminizing Drops’, a trio of serums that contain gold pigments and ultra-fine pearls for a soft-focus shimmer. The ‘Champagne’ hue will have everyone thinking you just got back from the beach.
Algenist Reveal Concentrated Luminizing Drops, $55
The Body Shop
If you’re not keen on too much shimmer, try ‘Honey Bronze Drops of Sun’ from The Body Shop, which promises a natural-looking, matte holiday glow. It can be applied directly to skin or combined with foundation.
