Both come with all the key features you know and love and have the same fun functions, just different sizes. With TSA-friendly makeup, you can save space, fit more in your luggage, pack all your makeup like a pro, and use it on the go, wherever you are.

Frequently Asked Questions About TSA-Friendly and Travel-Sized Makeup
Q: What Makeup Can Go Through TSA?
A: Technically all makeup can go through TSA security, but with specific requirements. Liquid and cream makeup products (such as foundation, concealer, liquid highlighter, cream blush, mascara, liquid eyeliner, lip gloss, and setting sprays) must be in containers 3.4oz/100ml or smaller and must fit in one quart-sized clear plastic bag.
If you're unsure about a specific item, the TSA has a "What Can I Bring?" tool on their website for verification. Remember that some products might look solid but contain liquid ingredients that security scanners detect, so be prepared to place questionable items in your liquids bag as a precaution.
Q: What Makeup Counts as Liquid for Travel?
A: Makeup products that count as liquids for TSA travel purposes include: liquid foundations, tinted moisturizers, cream and liquid concealers, liquid highlighters, blushes, and bronzers, mascara (all types), liquid eyeliners, lip glosses, liquid lipsticks, setting sprays, facial mists, cream eyeshadows in pots or tubes, gel products (brow gels, hair gels), liquid illuminators, face primers, and bb or cc creams.
However, makeup products that are not considered liquids include: traditional lipsticks in a tube, powder products (eyeshadow, powder foundation, blush, etc.), pencil eyeliners, brow pencils, solid stick foundations or concealers, makeup brushes, and makeup sponges.
Q: Does Makeup Need to Be in a Clear Bag for Travel?
A: Yes. According to the TSA guidelines, all makeup traveling in a carry-on bag should fit in one quart-sized clear plastic bag.
