Default Question on mineral makeup through airport security...

I use mineral foundation which is in a small pot with a screw on lid. Is this totally ok to take through airport security?

Sorry if its a stupid question but there must be ladies out there who have travelled with theirs.

Thanks

It's fine. They sell it here anyway and it's not mineral as in soil and debris on your shoes. Customs can be barking but they're not quite that mad.

I admit to be scrutinizing everything in my makeup bag i think it makes you over analyze what can be taken! Am i right in thinking nothing over 100mls and all in a seethrough zippy sealed bag?

Thats right for hand luggage. Anything larger, put it in your hold luggage. They will supply the bags at the airport

My daughter's bought stuff from Lush (because it is about 10$ cheaper lol ) and none of my threats about Aussie customs confiscating it deterred her

I've got lots of powdered spices (all commercially prepared and packed), kid's medicines etc. I've made a packing list and plan to attach it to the custom's form.

Thanks. I just want to take my mineral makeup in my hand luggage (foundation n concealer) since I can't manage to go bare faced as I have really bad rosacea which gets worse when I am stressed and the makeup seems to calm it down.

Just worried about taking little pots of powder through customs n security!!! Might just cave n take regular makeup heh heh!
