Ultimately, this rule is about safety, not punishing your makeup bag. The great irony is that we spend hours perfecting a routine that the modern jet-set has to dismantle for 20 seconds of a security check. It’s a gentle reminder to streamline.
Maybe it’s time to embrace a “two-tool face”: a tinted moisturiser and a powder bronzer. You’ll survive. I promise. And you’ll save precious time for that flat white at the gate.
So, next time you’re packing, channel the spirit of a minimalist. Your future self, breezing through the scanner with a wink, will thank you. After all, travel is about the journey, not the twelve-step skincare routine you wanted to bring.
