PICASSO Mixed Color Brush Guide: Professional Makeup Brushes for Face, Eyes, and Brows
PICASSO is a Korean professional makeup brush brand with a numbered system across face, eye, and brow tools. The Mixed Color line on Skinsli covers 14 brushes and accessories where handles come in assorted color variations - the brush number, head shape, and bristle function are the same regardless of which mixed-color variant you receive. This guide maps each brush model to its function, explains how to choose the right tools for a full routine, and shows how the PICASSO numbering system reflects brush type and purpose.
PICASSO: Korean professional brush brand with a numbered system
PICASSO is an established Korean professional makeup brush brand used in Korean beauty schools, salon work, and by Korean makeup artists for both stage and everyday application. The brand uses a numbered system to identify brush types - numbers in the 100s indicate face and cheek brushes, 400-500s indicate lip and detail tools, and teen numbers (19, 20) indicate eye and brow brushes. This numbering convention makes re-ordering intuitive once you know your brush number. "Mixed Color" as a designation means the handles are dispatched in assorted colors rather than a fixed single color - buyers receive one of the available color variants, which varies the aesthetic without changing the brush specification.
Blusher Brushes 107 and 108: cheek application
Two blusher brush models are available in the Mixed Color line. The 107 Blusher Brush is a single-piece brush suited to targeted blush application on the apples of the cheeks and along the cheekbone. The 108 Blusher Brush is available in a 2-piece set, making it more economical for artists who need a second cheek brush for a second color, or for anyone who prefers to keep a backup brush. Blusher brush 108 models in professional ranges typically have a slightly wider head than 107 for broader cheek coverage. Both brushes in the PICASSO range use the numbered system to indicate that these are standard professional cheek tools rather than novelty or specialty brushes.
Powder Brush 128 and Foundation Brushes FB17 and 132
Three face application brushes cover powder and foundation. The 128 Powder Brush is the full-face setting or loose powder brush in the range, typically featuring a large, domed or flat head for dusting powder across the T-zone, forehead, and cheeks. The Foundation Brush FB17 and the 132 Foundation Brush are both flat-headed precision tools for applying liquid or cream foundation. The FB17 model designation suggests it is the newer or revised formulation of the basic foundation brush. The 132 is the classic PICASSO foundation brush. Both use synthetic or blended bristles suited to liquid products, providing a smooth and buildable finish without absorbing excess product into the bristles.
Eyeshadow Brush 19 and Dual Eyebrow Brush 20
Two brushes handle eye application. The 19 Eyeshadow Brush is a standard eye tool - in the PICASSO system, teen-numbered brushes are typically small to mid-sized precision tools suited to eyeshadow packing, blending, or liner application depending on the bristle shape. The 20 Dual Eyebrow Brush is a two-in-one brow tool: one end typically has an angled or spoolie brush for grooming brow hairs, while the other end has a flat or tapered brush for applying brow powder or pomade. The dual format reduces the number of brushes needed for a complete brow routine.
Lip Brush 505 and Screw Brush 402
The 505 Lip Brush is a precision lip application tool for lipstick, gloss, or lip liner. A dedicated lip brush allows more controlled and symmetrical application than applying directly from a lipstick tube, particularly for sharp Cupid's bow definition or gradient lip effects. The 402 Screw Brush is a specialized brow tool - a screw or spiral brush head is used for combing brow hairs into place before or after applying brow product, and for blending brow powder or pomade for a natural finish. The 402 in the PICASSO system places it in the 400-range detail tool category.
Eyebrow Scissors Mixed Color: shaping and trimming
The PICASSO Eyebrow Scissors are the only non-brush tool in the Mixed Color line. Small curved-blade scissors designed for brow grooming are used to trim brow hairs that are too long or that fall outside the desired brow shape after combing upward with the screw brush. The mixed color handle applies to the scissors as well as the brushes. Professional brow scissors in Korean beauty are a standard grooming tool used alongside brow pencils and powders for clean and precise brow architecture.
Building a full face routine with PICASSO Mixed Color brushes
A complete PICASSO Mixed Color toolkit for a full face covers six tools: the 132 or FB17 Foundation Brush for base application, the 128 Powder Brush for setting, the 107 Blusher Brush for cheek color, the 19 Eyeshadow Brush for eye application, the 20 Dual Eyebrow Brush for brows, and the 505 Lip Brush for precise lip application. Add the 402 Screw Brush for brow grooming and the Eyebrow Scissors for trimming, and the 108 Blusher Brush 2-piece set as a backup or second cheek color brush. The numbered system makes it easy to remember and reorder each tool individually as brushes wear out without needing to replace the full set.
Caring for PICASSO Mixed Color brushes
Professional brushes need regular cleaning to maintain hygiene and performance. Spot-clean brushes used with cream and liquid products (foundation, lip gloss, eye cream) after every use with a brush cleaner spray or gentle micellar water. Deep-clean all brushes once per week by washing the bristles with a gentle brush shampoo or baby shampoo, reshaping the bristle head, and drying flat or with the bristle end downward to prevent water from entering the ferrule and loosening the glue. PICASSO brushes in the professional range use standard ferrule construction - the same cleaning routine that works for any professional brush applies to all models in the Mixed Color line.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does 'mixed color' mean for PICASSO brushes?
Mixed color means the brush handles are dispatched in assorted color variants rather than a fixed single color. You receive one brush in one of the available handle colors at the time of fulfillment. The brush number, head shape, bristle type, and function are identical across all handle color options - color is purely an aesthetic variable. If color matching is important to you, check if a single-color variant is available alongside the mixed color listing.
What is the difference between the PICASSO 107 and 108 Blusher Brushes?
The 107 Blusher Brush is a single-piece product for targeted blush and contour application. The 108 Blusher Brush is available in a 2-piece set and typically has a slightly larger head for broader cheek coverage. The 2-piece set is economical for artists who need two brushes - one for each cheek color - or for anyone who wants a backup brush ready. Buy the 107 for a single blush application brush and the 108 set if you regularly work with more than one cheek product simultaneously.
Which PICASSO foundation brush should I choose: the FB17 or the 132?
Both are flat synthetic bristle foundation brushes. The FB17 is the newer model designation and may have updated bristle density or head geometry compared to the classic 132. For most users, either brush performs the same function - liquid and cream foundation application with a smooth buffed finish. If you are new to PICASSO, the FB17 is the current standard model. The 132 is the proven classic and remains available for users who prefer the original specification.
How do I use the PICASSO 20 Dual Eyebrow Brush?
The 20 Dual Eyebrow Brush has two ends. Use the spoolie or comb end to brush brow hairs upward and into shape before applying product - this reveals the natural brow architecture and removes any product buildup. Then flip to the flat or angled brush end to apply brow powder, pomade, or tinted gel with short feather-like strokes that mimic natural hair. After product application, use the spoolie end again to blend and soften for a natural finish.
Is the PICASSO 505 Lip Brush suitable for matte lipstick?
Yes. The 505 Lip Brush works well with matte lipstick, cream lipstick, and lip pomade. A lip brush gives more precise edge definition than applying directly from the bullet, which is especially useful for sharp Cupid's bow definition or for the Korean gradient lip technique where placement control matters. For very dry matte formulas, warm the product slightly by pressing your finger against it before loading the brush, which makes the formula easier to spread evenly.
How do I use the PICASSO Eyebrow Scissors correctly?
Comb brow hairs upward with the spoolie end of the 20 Dual Eyebrow Brush or the 402 Screw Brush. Use the scissors to trim any hairs that extend above the desired brow line when brushed up. Trim small amounts at a time - cut less than you think you need, then re-comb and reassess. Trim hairs that fall below the brow line using the same technique. Curved-blade brow scissors allow close trimming along the brow shape without nicking the skin. Do not cut all hairs to the same length; trim only the ones that are notably longer than their neighbors for a natural result.
Are PICASSO Mixed Color brushes professional quality or consumer grade?
PICASSO is a professional Korean makeup brush brand used in beauty schools, salon environments, and by Korean makeup artists. The numbered system, ferrule construction, and bristle specifications are designed for professional use. The Mixed Color line on Skinsli uses the same brush models as the professional range - the mixed color handle designation refers to the aesthetic only, not the quality grade. These are professional-grade tools at accessible price points, which is characteristic of Korean professional beauty tools in general.
