MAC Frost Lipstick vs Maybelline (2 pack) SuperStay 24 2-Step Liquid Lipstick Long-Lasting Lip Color, Continuous Coral: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Heavy metal pigments (lead, cadmium, iron oxide impurities), Azo dyes and synthetic colorants (allergic sensitization) and Fragrance and flavor oils (allergen, aspiration risk) on the MAC Fix+ and not on the Maybelline SuperStay.
• We flag PFAS in waterproofing polymers, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in solvent base, Heavy metals in synthetic colorants and Formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasers as preservatives on the Maybelline SuperStay and not on the MAC Fix+.
• The MAC Fix+ is wax, oils, pigments, emollients (typical lipstick base) where the Maybelline SuperStay is liquid lipstick with synthetic polymers and waterproofing agents, 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 MAC Fix+ is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Maybelline SuperStay grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
