Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the NYX.
- We flag Synthetic colorants and pigment impurities, 1,4-dioxane contamination, Contact sensitization from fragrance or flavor compounds and PMMA microparticles from coating wear on the NYX and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the NYX is Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), silicones, waxes, 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.
