BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Gloss vs SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick: which is safer?
BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Gloss is the clear pick. Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Maybelline.
- We flag 1,4-dioxane (trace solvent contaminant), Fragrance allergens (unlisted components), Formaldehyde releasers in film-forming polymers and Volatile solvent inhalation risk 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 ink with film-forming polymers, waterproof binders, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Becca Cosmetics is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Maybelline grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
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 →
