NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Highlighter

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Highlighter scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Highlighter lists 21 ingredients, starting with Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Octyldodecanol and Ethylhexyl Palmitate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Highlighter scores worse than most blush & bronzer we have scored. A higher-scoring option in blush & bronzer is Fat and the Moon Lip & Cheek Stain at 100/100.
