So, yes, mascara counts as a liquid. Always has, always will. But here’s a twist: if the mascara is a solid stick (like a cake mascara), it’s not a liquid. Checkmate, TSA.
Solid mascara is old-school and hard to find. It’s like a vintage secret for rebels. If you bring a cake mascara, the agent might look confused. You win the round.
In the end, just pack your mascara in the ziplock bag. Smile at the agent. You’re now an expert on the gooiest corner of airport security. Go forth and bat those lovely lashes.
And remember: next time someone asks, “Does mascara count as a liquid?” You can answer with a wink and a science fact. “Only if you don’t want your bag sniffed by a sniffer dog.”
