Can I bring my full-sized toothpaste?

Only if it is 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less. If it is a larger tube, even if it is almost empty, it will be confiscated.

Does makeup count as a liquid?

Yes. Mascara, lip gloss, liquid foundation, and cream blushes count as liquids. They must fit inside your quart-sized bag.

What if I have medically necessary liquids?

Medically necessary liquids, such as contact lens solution or insulin, are generally exempt from the 3.4 oz rule. Declare them to the TSA officer before screening begins.

How to pack toiletries in your carry-on bag

To breeze through security, pack all liquids, gels, and aerosols in containers of 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less. Place them inside a single, transparent, quart-sized resealable bag so you can remove them quickly for screening.

Audit your containers. Check the physical size of your bottles, not the amount of product inside. If the bottle says 5 oz but is half-empty, TSA will still toss it. Stick to bottles clearly labeled 3.4 oz (100ml) or smaller.
Use the quart-sized bag rule. Everything must fit into one clear, quart-sized (approx. 1 liter) zip-top bag. If it doesn't zip closed, it’s too much. Don't double bag; keep it to one bag per passenger.
Go solid to save space. Replace liquid shampoo, conditioner, and soap with solid bars. Solid toiletries do not count toward your liquid allowance and won't leak in your bag.
Pack for accessibility. Place your toiletry bag in the outer pocket or the very top of your carry-on. You will likely need to pull this out at security checkpoints, so don't bury it under your laptop or clothes.
