Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Oil rancidity and oxidation over time on the Ere Perez and not on the Too Faced.
- We flag Undisclosed waterproofing agent (PFAS or alternative), Fragrance allergens and preservative sensitizers, Solvent exposure (volatile organic compounds) and Eye irritation from colorant pigments or additives on the Too Faced and not on the Ere Perez.
- The Ere Perez is Jojoba oil, wax, pigments where the Too Faced is Liquid eyeliner, waterproof coating 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 Ere Perez is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Too Faced grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, 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 →
