Introduction
Lipstick is one of the most common items that people bring on airplanes. I always wondered if lipstick could be stored in my carry-on bag, but I didn’t want to take any chances with security. After all, there’s something about putting your lipstick inside a bag that seems like it might make it easier for someone else to find it—especially if you’re trying to keep the contents from being discovered by another passenger! However, while there’s nothing wrong with bringing around your tube of lipstick in its solid state (and yes, wearing them on planes is perfectly fine), keep reading for more information about whether it can go through airport security and where you should put your makeup when traveling by air.

Lipstick is not considered a suspicious item and can be carried on the plane as long as it remains sealed and in its original container.
Lipstick is subject to the same liquid and gel rules as all other substances.
Lipstick is a liquid and a gel. It’s not just some weird substance that doesn’t conform to the rules of other liquids or gels. Lipstick can be solid, liquid or gel depending on how it’s stored and shipped.
If you put lipstick in a liquid bag, it will become a liquid; however if you put it in an airtight plastic container with no air circulation around it (this is important), then your lipstick will remain as a solid until you open up the container again! That’s right: it doesn’t matter what type of container you use—the only thing that matters is whether or not there is an adequate supply of oxygen inside said container at all times while storing your products like this one here.”
You can bring lipstick and other solids on the plane in your carry-on bags or on you.

You may be able to bring lipsticks, lip balm, and other cosmetics packed in your carry-on bag. If they are less than 3 ounces total weight when packed, they can be checked as luggage free of charge—but not if they exceed 3 pounds (1 kilogram). If these items exceed the allowable weight limit, then they must be placed in an approved hard-sided container or locked up inside the hold baggage area before boarding the aircraft
Solid makeup is subject to additional screening.
If you’re traveling with solid makeup such as lipstick and eyeliner, keep in mind that it is subject to additional screening. You may be asked to remove your makeup and apply it in the security line. You may also be subject to additional screening at the gate or when passing through customs.
Keep your lipstick in the bag that’s easiest for you to access.
If you’re like me and always have lipstick on your lips, then this is a great tip for keeping it in good condition. The best place to store your lipstick is in an easy-to-access bag that’s close by and somewhere that you can see it easily. For example, I keep my lip glosses right next to my bedside table so I can get them quickly if I need one while getting ready in the morning.
