Traveling With Beauty Supplies and Make-up

Just as traveling with supplements can be challenging as explained in Monday’s post, you will also discover that traveling with beauty supplies and make-up can be a challenge. With so many regulations and those regulations varying from one airline to the other, knowing what to do with your beauty supplies and make-up can save you both time and money.

A little planning ahead goes a long way here. Just because you may be cautious when taking beauty products or make-up with you on your travels, with a little practice, you will be thinking like a frequent flyer.

What are a few ideas to keep in mind when traveling with make-up or beauty supplies?

Airlines all have differing rules concerning make-up and beauty supplies. Contact your airline to find out what specifics you should keep in mind when packing. Generally, you will find that airlines want to ensure you can travel with beauty supplies and make-up.

All liquids have to be contained in a clear, plastic bag. You can purchase these just about anywhere, and they are (thankfully) cheap to purchase. If you need more than one, I suggest you purchase a few.

One idea is to color coordinate the bags for your categories… for instance, use a clear bag with blue label for hair care products, a clear bag with yellow label for facial make-up, a clear bag with red label for shaving supplies, etc. This will help you if you need to find something fast.

Make a list of all your make-up and beauty supplies for your own reference. You would be surprised how quickly you cannot think of a brand or name when under pressure. Carrying a list is going to ensure you are at the top of your game with airport security.
