Well, I would guess from the use of the word "holiday" that you aren't in the US. The restrictions for liquid products are a lot tighter in Europe-->England because that's where all of the liquid restrictions started in the first place. So, please check the restrictions for your airport and airline before packing.
Also, there's tons of variation in how airports in the US regulate these things. For example, LAX doesn't really care (I had lots of lip gloss in my purse), but San Diego airport does (They were giving out plastic zip locks at the security line), as does Irvine/John Wayne and Ontario. In Portland, it depends on the screener(one lady let me have a full bottle of water, and another guy took my Strobe...). O'Hare security folks are total tight asses about this stuff, but Midway doesn't really notice. I haven't flown to NY area lately and the last time I flew in the Bay area was the day before all of that stuff happened in England last August, so I can't speak to either of those areas. So, be sure to check before you lose any valuable items. I saw one lady at O'Hare who was coming from France and going on to Denver who was having a tissy fit because they were making her throw away some face caviar she had gotten in France.
I've had good luck with checking my makeup... so far... Just make sure to do what people have said so far- pack as little makeup as your creativity will allow, put clothes around makeup. And don't double up on similar products (You don't need club AND blue brown pig) and try to pack versatile things (Orange shadow is a great blush for me). Also, sample sizes of things are great; if something happens to it, it's no great loss. 1 of those mac sample jars of SFF lasts for about 2 weeks.
