Three common eyeliner formats: 眼线笔 (bǐ, pencil), 眼线液 (yè, liquid), 眼线胶笔 (jiāobǐ, gel pencil). Pencil is easiest for beginners; liquid gives the sharpest line; gel is in between.

Eyeliner is a core item in Chinese 'daily makeup' (日常妆) tutorials. The dramatic 内眼线 (inner eyeliner — drawn on the waterline) is heavily featured in K-pop and J-pop inspired Chinese makeup looks.
