HEART PERCENT Dot On Mood Pencils: Lip Shades, Slim Precision and Gel Eyeliner
The HEART PERCENT Dot On Mood pencil collection covers the brand's full precision-pencil lineup: the standard 0.8g lip pencil, an expanding range of slim 0.4g lip pencils in 20+ individually named shades, and the Gel Eyeliner Pencil for eye definition. For anyone building a lip shade wardrobe in the Korean gradient aesthetic, this collection is the comprehensive reference - every available shade in the precise slim format, plus the versatile gel liner that completes the eye-to-lip precision look.
Pencil Formats: Standard vs Slim
The Dot On Mood lip pencil range comes in two formats with the same formula base:
- Standard (0.8g): A wider-tipped pencil suited for filling in the full lip quickly, making a bold first colour application, or for everyday lip definition without precise overline work.
- Slim (0.4g): A finer-tipped pencil ideal for detailed work - Cupid's bow definition, overlining, and the precise central placement used in the Korean gradient lip technique. The slim format is also the format in which individual named shades are available.
If you are buying your first Dot On Mood lip pencil, the standard 0.8g gives faster coverage. If you want to try a specific shade or practise the gradient technique with more control, start with the slim.
Slim Lip Pencil Shade Directory
The Dot On Mood Slim Lip Pencils are each assigned a number and a distinctive Korean-English name. Visible shades in the Skinsli range include:
- 05 Appricot Coral: A warm apricot-coral - one of the most flattering everyday shades for warm and neutral undertones. Bright without being orange.
- 08 Claudimove: A named shade - the name suggests a cool, sophisticated tone, likely in the mauve-rose range.
- 10 Clean Beige: A nude beige close to natural lip colour - ideal as a base layer or for a minimal no-makeup lip look.
- 13 Bare Lips: The most natural shade - essentially a skin-tone nude that maps to the lip's own colour and is used to set the shape before applying colour on top.
- 14 Campink: A warm, camping-inspired dusty pink - one of the most popular shades in the range for an everyday Korean lip.
- 15 Moblips: A mobile-inspired plum-pink - deeper and more dramatic than the pinks, suitable for evening looks or autumn/winter.
- 18 Pigroz: A warm rose with rosy-pigment depth - versatile across seasons and undertones.
- 19 Dusty Pink: A muted, greyed-out pink - Korean makeup's signature dusty aesthetic, sophisticated and wearable for day and night.
The full numbered shade range continues beyond these - each slim pencil shade is individually available at Skinsli.
Using the Slim Pencil for the Korean Gradient Lip
The slim format was developed specifically for gradient lip technique. Step-by-step:
- Prep the lips: apply All Cover Lip Base if you have uneven lip pigmentation, or skip for a quick routine.
- Apply the slim pencil in short strokes at the very centre of the upper and lower lip - the medial point of the bow, and the centre of the lower lip.
- Use the pad of a clean fingertip to tap and press the colour outward from the centre toward the corners. The heat from the finger softens the formula and blends it smoothly. Work quickly - once fully set, the pencil is harder to blend.
- The outer corners should fade to your natural lip colour. If you want a stronger fade, blend further; for a more solid look, add pencil strokes in the outer sections too.
- Finish with the Lip Plumper over the centre for gloss and volume.
The slim tip is particularly useful for step 2 - it allows you to place the initial colour with precision before the blending step. With the standard 0.8g pencil, the wider application area requires more blending to achieve a defined gradient starting point.
Dot On Mood Gel Eyeliner Pencil: Precision Eye Definition
The Dot On Mood Gel Eyeliner Pencil (0.5g) extends the Dot On Mood precision formula to the eye. A gel eyeliner pencil differs from a traditional wax or kohl pencil:
- Gel formula glides on without pulling on the delicate eyelid skin
- More pigment-dense than standard pencil liners - the colour appears in a single pass rather than requiring multiple applications
- Water-resistant once set - less prone to smudging than a softer kohl pencil
- The 0.5g slim format gives enough precision for a fine liner along the lash line or detailed waterline application
Korean eye makeup often pairs a precise liner with a gradient lip - the Gel Eyeliner Pencil allows both zones of the face to share the same precision pencil aesthetic.
Building a Shade Wardrobe with Dot On Mood Slim Pencils
The individually available slim shades make it practical to build a curated lip colour wardrobe where each pencil serves a different occasion or season:
- Everyday (minimal makeup): 13 Bare Lips + 10 Clean Beige - a barely-there base and slight tone enhancement.
- Natural flush look: 14 Campink or 05 Appricot Coral - warm, effortless shades that look like a natural flush.
- Korean aesthetic gradient: 14 Campink, 18 Pigroz, or 19 Dusty Pink - the dusty, cool-adjacent tones that photograph well in the gradient technique.
- Evening or deeper look: 15 Moblips - the deepest shade in the visible range, suitable when the gradient has more drama.
The slim format means each pencil is compact and lightweight - collecting 4-5 shades adds minimal space or weight to a makeup kit.
Caring for Your Dot On Mood Pencils
The Dot On Mood slim pencil is a mechanical pencil format - it advances the product by twisting the base, with no sharpening required. This eliminates product loss from sharpening, but requires care not to extend too much product at once, as the slim format is fragile when extended more than 2-3mm. Twist up only what you need for each application.
Store pencils horizontally in a makeup bag to avoid stress on the extended tip. For the gel eyeliner, cap tightly after each use to prevent the gel formula from drying out at the tip.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When should I use the standard lip pencil versus the slim lip pencil?
Use the standard 0.8g when you want to fill in the full lip quickly or want a broader, more opaque colour application. Use the slim 0.4g when you want precision: defining the Cupid's bow, doing a gradient technique with a specific starting point, overlining the natural lip edge, or testing a new shade with minimal product use. Many people keep both - standard for fast everyday use and slim for occasion looks where technique matters more.
What do the numbers on the Dot On Mood Slim Lip Pencil shades mean?
The numbers (05, 08, 10, 13, 14, etc.) are HEART PERCENT's internal shade codes for each colour in the Dot On Mood range. They follow a rough sequence from lightest to deepest, but the numbering is not strictly linear - new shades are added to the range and given the next available number. The English name alongside the number (Appricot Coral, Campink, Moblips, etc.) is the more meaningful descriptor of the colour character, since Korean beauty brands typically create evocative names that hint at the shade's mood or reference.
Does the Dot On Mood Gel Eyeliner Pencil smudge easily?
Once the gel formula sets (typically 30-60 seconds after application), it becomes more resistant to smudging than a soft kohl pencil. For maximum smudge resistance, allow the liner to fully set before blinking or touching the eye area. In humid conditions or with oily lids, priming the eyelid with an eyeshadow primer before lining improves longevity. For a smoky effect, blend with a smudge brush within the first 10-15 seconds before the gel sets.
Which shade is best for a first-time Dot On Mood buyer?
14 Campink is the most consistently recommended entry shade - it is a warm, slightly dusty pink that suits most undertones and works in both a minimal everyday look and a more deliberate gradient application. For a more neutral everyday start, 10 Clean Beige gives a barely-there natural lip that is useful as a standalone product and as a base under other shades. If you tend toward deeper or more dramatic shades, start with 18 Pigroz for a rose that is versatile without being too subtle.
Does the slim pencil need to be sharpened?
No - it is a mechanical pencil format. Twist the base clockwise to advance the product, and counterclockwise to retract it. No sharpener is needed, and there is no product loss from sharpening. Only extend 1-2mm of product at a time - the slim format is fragile when extended too far and can break under pressure. If you extend too much, gently retract the excess before applying.
Why is Dusty Pink (19) popular in Korean makeup?
Dusty Pink is a greyed-out, desaturated pink - it has the warmth of a pink but the softness of a beige, which creates a sophisticated, effortless quality that reads as stylish without looking overdone. This 'dusty' aesthetic is central to Korean makeup's signature look: intentional and curated, but not heavy or theatrical. Dusty Pink works as both an everyday shade (used lightly) and an evening shade (built up for more coverage), which makes it one of the most versatile in the range.
Will Campink (14) look orange on warm skin tones?
Campink is formulated in the warm pink direction rather than pure orange - it reads as a warm, slightly coral-dusty pink rather than a strongly orange shade. On warm or olive undertones, it typically reinforces the warmth of the skin in a complementary way rather than clashing. On very warm or deeply olive skin, the dustiness in the shade helps balance the warmth. If you are concerned about orange undertones, Pigroz 18 or Dusty Pink 19 are safer starting points as they both read as more clearly pink.
Can the Gel Eyeliner Pencil be used on the waterline?
The Gel Eyeliner Pencil can be used on the waterline. The gel formula is dense enough to deposit colour on the wet waterline surface. For a more dramatic eye look, apply to the lower waterline to make the eye appear larger; for a graphic or defined look, use on the upper waterline. The formula will fade more quickly on the waterline than on the lid due to moisture - reapplication mid-day is normal for waterline application. Check the full ingredient list if you have a known sensitivity to eye-area cosmetics before waterline use.
