Heart Percent Dot Mood Pencil

The collection has three distinct products. The Dot On Mood Lip Pencil at 0.8 g is the original, slightly broader barrel suited to full-lip coverage in one or two passes. The Dot On Mood Lip Pencil Slim at 0.4 g is the narrower sibling, better for clean outline work and for precise shade layering. The Dot On Mood Gel Eyeliner Pencil at 0.5 g shifts the format to the eye, using a gel base for longer hold.

All three share the retractable pencil construction, which means no external sharpener required. The tip stays consistent from first use to last, and the formula-to-tip ratio is calibrated so the texture is consistent as you work through the barrel.

The Slim format carries the widest shade selection in the range. Confirmed shades in the current assortment include Moblips, Pigroz, Claudimove, Campink, Cozy Brown, Salmon Beige, and Caramel Beige, with the numbering system going at least into the twenties. The palette runs a deliberate arc: warm neutrals and caramel beiges at one end for a bare-lip or no-makeup look, moving through salmon and coral tones, and then into deeper pinks and rose-infused shades for more defined color.

HEART PERCENT assigns each shade a name rather than relying only on numbers, which makes it easier to describe to others or find again after a purchase. The naming style is expressive and playful, consistent with Korean makeup brand conventions where shade names carry mood associations rather than pure color descriptors.

For a clean lip look, draw the outline first with the Slim pencil, following the natural lip line or slightly outside it for a fuller appearance. Use short strokes on the Cupid's bow to keep the arch crisp, then connect the corners in a single line. Once the outline is set, fill in from the edges toward the center.

If you want the pencil to act as the full lip color without layering over it, the Slim barrel gives enough control to build opacity in two or three passes. The formula blends easily when it is fresh, so you can diffuse the outer edge for a softer gradient before it sets. Blotting and reapplying gives a more stain-like result.

The Dot On Mood Gel Eyeliner Pencil uses a gel-based formula instead of the waxy lip pencil base, which changes how it behaves on skin. Gel formulas deposit more pigment per pass and resist smudging better once dry, making them practical for humid conditions or long days.

The retractable tip on the eyeliner is fine enough for tight-line application along the upper waterline. It also works for a thin wing drawn close to the lash line, or smudged slightly for a softer smoky result. Because the format is a pencil rather than a liquid liner or felt-tip, there is more control over pressure and width.

Korean makeup routines typically emphasize skin and then layer color subtly rather than building heavy coverage. Within that approach, lip liner and eyeliner pencils often serve a finishing role: they sharpen edges that have softened after cushion or tinted moisturizer application, or they add a single focused color note without requiring multiple steps.

The Dot On Mood Slim is particularly well suited to this use pattern. Because the tip is fine and the formula is buildable, you can add a precise lip line over finished skin without disturbing the rest of the look. The gel eyeliner works similarly as a final-step detail tool, whether for a doubling of the upper lash line or a subtle lower-lid definition.

Lip pencil and lipstick work together in several ways. Using the Slim pencil to outline before applying a glossy formula keeps the gloss within the lip boundary and makes the color underneath look more intentional. Matching the pencil shade to the lipstick gives a cohesive result; choosing a slightly darker pencil deepens the center color for a three-dimensional effect.

The Dot On Mood Slim also functions well under lip gloss alone, as a base that adds staying power. Apply the pencil fully across the lips rather than just the outline, then layer the gloss over the top. The pencil formula holds to lips longer than most glosses, so the color layer survives the gloss wearing off in the center.

The three sizes in the range each have a practical purpose. The 0.8 g original Lip Pencil is the standard barrel, appropriate when you want faster application or are doing heavier-coverage looks. The 0.4 g Slim is lighter and more portable, and the narrower barrel makes it easier to carry in small bags.

The Gel Eyeliner at 0.5 g sits between the two lip pencil sizes. All three are retractable, which protects the tip when the pencil is in a bag. There is no cap to lose and no need to keep a sharpener with you. The retractable mechanism on all Dot On Mood products has been consistent across the range since its introduction.

For everyday wear, the neutral shades work across more skin tones and outfit combinations. Caramel Beige and Cozy Brown sit in the warm-neutral zone that suits medium to deep skin tones and works well with earthy or muted clothing palettes. Salmon Beige is a softer choice that reads closer to the natural lip color on lighter skin tones.

Campink and Pigroz move into rose and pink territory, which tends to work with cooler undertones or when you want more visible color. Moblips and Claudimove lean into the editorial side of the range, with less predictable names suggesting less conventional shades. If you are building a small collection, starting with a beige-neutral and one pink gives you coverage across casual and dressed-up looks.
