Unable to style checkboxes HTML/CSS

I'm unable to do any styling whatsoever on some HTML checkboxes. Any css fails to change the appearance of the checkboxes:

HTML:

<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1-1" class="regular-checkbox" />
    <nput type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1-2" class="regular-checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1-3" class="regular-checkbox" />
    <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox-1-4" class="regular-checkbox" />

CSS:

.regular-checkbox {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 25px;
  width: 25px;
  background-color: #eee;
}

Checkbox is unchanged. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I thought this was possible in CSS.

Let me know if it helps or you need some explanation.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
  .container {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    padding-left: 35px;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 22px;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
  }
  
  .container input {
    position: absolute;
    opacity: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    height: 0;
    width: 0;
  }
  
  .checkmark {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    height: 25px;
    width: 25px;
    background-color: #eee;
  }
  
  .container:hover input~.checkmark {
    background-color: #ccc;
  }
  
  .container input:checked~.checkmark {
    background-color: #2196F3;
  }
  
  .checkmark:after {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    display: none;
  }
  
  .container input:checked~.checkmark:after {
    display: block;
  }
  
  .container .checkmark:after {
    left: 9px;
    top: 5px;
    width: 5px;
    height: 10px;
    border: solid white;
    border-width: 0 3px 3px 0;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
    transform: rotate(45deg);
  }
</style>

<body>

  <label class="container">One
  <input type="checkbox">
  <span class="checkmark"></span>
</label>

</body>

</html>

It's not possible to style checkbox inputs (nor radios) in css.

But you can create a custom checkbox and add a hidden checkbox or something like that. Which is what most people do because it can easily be compatible across browsers.
