BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Gloss vs Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss: which is safer?

BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Gloss is the clear pick. Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss 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 Urban Decay.
  • We flag Undisclosed waterproofing agents (likely PFAS), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components, Heavy metals in colorants (if pigmented) and Microplastic shedding from polymer film on the Urban Decay and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
  • The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Urban Decay is Cosmetic gloss base with waterproofing agents (unspecified), 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 Urban Decay 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 →
