Illuminating Primer Stick Starlight

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Cheekbone Beauty Illuminating Primer Stick Starlight scores 54/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Cheekbone Beauty Illuminating Primer Stick Starlight lists 16 ingredients, starting with Aqua (Water), Propanediol, Sodium Stearate, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 54/100 Cheekbone Beauty Illuminating Primer Stick Starlight lands mid-scale — below the typical score in foundation & concealer, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in foundation & concealer is RMS Beauty UnPowder Untinted at 96/100.
