We all need the occasional pick-me-up. That includes our beauty products. Sure, they became part of our regimens because they deliver real results. But they can always do more with a little help from beauty drops.

Many brands now offer top-tier formulas in drop form. Take Drunk Elephant. It has drops for bronzing, illuminating and even blushing. Brands aren't sticking to just skin care, either. There are drops for your hair and your nails. The idea is that these babies will add an extra jolt to anything already in your arsenal. Since they're drops, you have much more control when it comes to distribution.

They're also flexible regrading the manner of application. You can mix them into your product of choice or sport them solo to reap the benefits. The customization factor is what makes them stand out.

Scroll down to discover the best beauty drops to give all of your routines big boosts.

Drunk Elephant

Who says your skin can't glow in winter? Drunk Elephant's drops contain 5 percent niacinamide to improve the signs of aging, diglucosyl gallic acid to soothe and provide antioxidant benefits plus Morus alba leaf extract to improve the look of hyperpigmentation. Simply shake, then add a drop or two to your favorite serum, oil or cream to get your glow on.

Oribe
