TSA Rules for Makeup
Are gels, creams, and other semi-fluid liquids counted, or are they exempt? The bottom line is that basically anything with moisture is considered a liquid and must abide by the 3-1-1 rule. Aerosol containers, like certain setting sprays, are also covered by this rule.
The 3-1-1 rule basically states that all liquids must be in a container that is 3.4 ounces or smaller, and all of your carry-on liquids must fit in one clear, quart-sized bag. This rule applies to all sorts of everyday items, like sunscreen, makeup, lotion, and shampoo.

The TSA prohibits containers with more than 3.4 ounces of liquid in carry-on luggage, so if you have a liquid or semi-liquid antiperspirant, be sure to check the quantity on the container. For example, many stick deodorants and antiperspirants come in sizes under 3.4 ounces, so it's fine to bring in your carry-on bag.
