If you're a frequent traveler and makeup lover, you might be wondering if you can bring your favorite eyeshadow palettes on a plane. The answer is yes, you can, but with some restrictions and guidelines to follow. In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about bringing eyeshadow palettes on a plane.
What are the TSA Guidelines for Eyeshadow Palettes?
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has specific guidelines for bringing liquids, gels, and aerosols on a plane, including makeup products like eyeshadow palettes. According to the TSA, eyeshadow palettes are considered a solid and are allowed in both carry-on and checked bags.
However, it's important to note that if the eyeshadow palette contains any liquids or gels, such as cream eyeshadows or eyeliners, it must follow the TSA's guidelines for liquids.
What are the TSA's Guidelines for Liquids?
The TSA's guidelines for liquids, gels, and aerosols are commonly known as the 3-1-1 rule. This rule means that you can bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, gels, and aerosols in your carry-on bag, with each container holding no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
If your eyeshadow palette contains any liquids or gels, you will need to make sure they are in containers that are 3.4 ounces or less and fit into a quart-sized bag. Otherwise, you will need to pack them in your checked bag.
What if Your Eyeshadow Palette is Too Large?
If your eyeshadow palette is too large to fit in your quart-sized bag, you will need to pack it in your checked bag. However, if you're worried about it getting damaged or broken during the flight, you can pack it in your carry-on bag and hope for the best.
It's also a good idea to pack your eyeshadow palette in a padded case or wrap it in bubble wrap to protect it during the flight.
What About Loose Eyeshadows?
If you prefer loose eyeshadows over palettes, you can bring them on a plane as well. Loose eyeshadows are considered a powder and are allowed in both carry-on and checked bags.
However, just like with eyeshadow palettes, if your loose eyeshadows contain any liquids or gels, they must follow the TSA's guidelines for liquids.
Final Thoughts
Bringing your favorite eyeshadow palettes on a plane is possible, as long as you follow the TSA's guidelines for liquids and sizes. It's always a good idea to pack your makeup products in a way that will protect them during the flight, such as in a padded case or wrapped in bubble wrap.
Now that you know the rules, you can pack your eyeshadow palettes and other makeup products with confidence and enjoy your flight!
