Can you take your makeup in your hand luggage?

Yes you can as long as the container, the cream, or the powder has the manufactures label, it is 3 oz or less, and can be carried in a small plastic zip-lock bag. I went to Russia last summer and did this. Had no problems with TSA. Don't buy the clear plastic containers that the travel catalogs sell you .They don't work because they don't have the manufactures label on them and the TSA will take them from you. The catalogs won't tell you this and I only found out by going to travel blogs.
