Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Talc contamination and inhalation risk and 1,4-dioxane and other solvent contaminants on the NYX Professional Makeup and not on the Urban Decay.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens on the Urban Decay and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
  • The NYX Professional Makeup is silicone, talc, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), pigments where the Urban Decay is water-based primer with silicones, glycerin, polymethyl methacrylate, 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 →
