Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Maybelline.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, 1,4-dioxane as a solvent or carrier contaminant and Formaldehyde releasers in preservatives on the Maybelline and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Maybelline is Liquid cosmetic gloss (emollient blend, film-formers, pigments), 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.
- We are less certain about the Maybelline grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
