Carry-on details

Allowed, no restrictions. Standard solid stick lipstick isn't a liquid or gel, so the 3.4 oz rule doesn't apply.

Checked-bag details

Allowed, no restrictions. No size or quantity limit in checked baggage either.

Special instructions

This applies to solid stick lipstick. Liquid lipstick or lip gloss is treated as a liquid/gel and follows the standard 3.4 oz rule instead.
