Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance and fragrance allergens and Silicone occlusion and skin comedogenicity on the CoverGirl and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
- We flag Talc contamination and inhalation risk and 1,4-dioxane and other solvent contaminants on the NYX Professional Makeup and not on the CoverGirl.
- The CoverGirl is silicones, glycerin, water, pigments where the NYX Professional Makeup is silicone, talc, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), 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.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
