To carry makeup on a plane, store liquids and gels in containers that are 3.4 ounces or smaller, and place them in a clear, quart-sized, zip-top plastic bag. This bag should be easily accessible from your carry-on for screening. Solid makeup, like powder foundations or solid lip balms, can be packed in your carry-on without size restrictions. Always check with the airline for any specific requirements or updates to carry-on policies.
