Yes, you can bring full-size makeup in your carry-on, but it must adhere to the TSA's liquids rule. This rule allows you to carry liquids, gels, creams, and aerosols in containers that hold 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item and must be placed in a single, clear, quart-sized bag. Makeup in solid form (like powder eyeshadows or stick concealer) is not subject to these limits, so you can pack them freely in your carry-on luggage.
