Piccasso 163 foundation brush: five steps for thin application and proper cleaning

Distinguish the Korean brand's single brush from the brush-puff-sponge set, and learn a practical technique without buying extra tools.

The official Korean PICCASSO store separately lists the '163 Foundation' brush and a bundle of the 163 brush, Glow Puff and two square sponges. International retailer PIYONNA describes the 163 as a synthetic-bristle brush for liquid and cream foundations, with guidance to apply small amounts, clean residue and air-dry it fully. A February 3, 2026 multi-product K-pop makeup video by Korean creator ANDA shows the Piccasso 163 around 03:48, according to a video product timeline. That moment is a product reference, not a brush-only instructional video or independent wear test. You can apply the same basic technique with a suitable brush you already own.

  1. 01

    Check the single 163 brush versus the set

    The Korean brand sells '163 Foundation' by itself and a separately named bundle containing a brush, Glow Puff and two square sponges. Check the precise item name and included pieces before assuming they are interchangeable.

  2. 02

    Prepare skincare, sunscreen and liquid foundation

    Finish your regular moisturizing and separate daytime sunscreen, then use a small amount of liquid or cream foundation according to its label. A foundation brush provides no sun protection on its own.

  3. 03

    Pick up a little and spread it thinly

    International retailer guidance suggests loading the tip lightly and spreading a little foundation over the areas you want to cover with gentle strokes. The 2026 ANDA video shows the tool at about 03:48 among many products; it is a visual reference, not a guaranteed result.

  4. 04

    Tidy edges around the nose and mouth

    Change the angle of the brush to work carefully around contours; lightly tap with its flatter side if useful. Avoid scrubbing or dragging irritated skin. Techniques for powder brushes are not automatically identical.

  5. 05

    Remove residue, wash and dry completely

    After use, wipe residual foundation gently and clean the brush regularly with an appropriate mild cleaner. Air-dry it flat or with bristles angled down so water does not sit in the ferrule. Avoid sharing a dirty brush.

✦ Helpful tips

  • You can use a suitable existing foundation brush rather than buying a specific brand.
  • A creator's finished look is not evidence of how long a tool's result will last for you.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • If friction causes irritation, stop and clean tools appropriately.
  • Follow the specific brush maker's care instructions where provided.
