Eyeliner is a cosmetic tool used to define the eye contour, to modify the eye shape through the color-developing line, to enhance the three-dimensionality of the eye, and to improve the sophistication of the makeup. Its core function is to enlarge the eyes and adjust the eye shape (e.g., lengthening the end of the eye, filling in the root of the eyelashes), and at the same time, depending on the material and formula, it can be adapted to different makeup needs (daily, heavy makeup) and skin types (oily, sensitive).
