Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Undisclosed tip material and microparticle shedding and Manufacturing disclosure and supply chain transparency on the Anastasia Beverly Hills and not on the L'Oréal.
  • We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination from emulsifiers, Fragrance allergens (unlisted components) and Microbial growth if stored improperly on the L'Oréal and not on the Anastasia Beverly Hills.
  • The Anastasia Beverly Hills is ultra-thin brow pencil, tip material not publicly disclosed where the L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
