Yes they do - any individual bottle must not contain more than 100ml of liquid.  And the total mls of all the bottles must not exceed 1 litre.

So, you can take 10 100ml bottles or 20 50ml bottles or a mix.  Don't forget your toothpaste counts.

Boots do some really good containers to decant some stuff into though if you have time to go and buy some, I prefer the Muji ones if you have time to get to a Muji though.  Don't get a flip top travel bottle - the hinges break too easily.

Boots also have a good section of travel appropriate sized version of lots of branded products right next to where they sell the travel bottles.

Strictly speaking, lip gloss counts as a liquid but lipstick doesn't but I've never been pulled up on not having it in the clear plastic bag to put through security.

My advice is to get a clear plastic ziploc bag (large freezer size works) and put your liquids in it at home - don't want til you get to the airport.  Then you can just hoike it out and walk through without phaffing. 

DON'T use a coloured plastic bag.  Has to be clear!
