Seasoned flyers know that you have to store all your liquid products in a clear plastic bag to get through airport security. While Ziploc bags that fit the TSA’s requirements are an easy choice, they can rip quite easily and leak liquids all over the rest of your precious cargo. And let’s face it, there’s nothing worse than opening your bag to find your favorite serums have exploded all over your belongings.

Thankfully, there’s a way to avoid this. Many brands have started making translucent travel makeup bags that are more durable and longer lasting than their disposable counterparts. Since clear bags have been trending for a while now, you may see an overwhelming number of options in stores, but not all of them will fit the TSA requirements for transporting liquids. To get through security checkpoints without any issues, your toiletry bag should be clear, made of plastic, have a zip top, and be quart-sized – which is approximately 6 x 9 inches or 8 x 7 inches.

To help prevent any issues or delays in the security line, we’ve rounded up 13 adorable travel makeup bags that are all TSA-approved. These translucent travel pouches will not only store all your beauty essentials, but they are also cute, waterproof, and easy to clean.

Whether you’re looking for a classic clear travel makeup bag or a case with fun embellishments and a trendy print, these handy travel accessories will help make getting through airport security a breeze.
