ZEESEA X PICASSO COLLECTOR'S LIPSTICK — SHADE 905 "FREE SOUL" Collector Edition Lipstick 905 Free Soul Vanity Display Artifact
Design & Artistry:
This rare, discontinued vanity artifact stems from the globally acclaimed fine-art collaboration between vanguard cosmetic house ZEESEA and the Picasso Estate. Shade 905, titled "Free Soul," honors Picasso’s 1917 masterpiece Italian Woman. The exterior heavy-gauge case functions as a structural canvas, wrapping the geometric lines of the Cubist portrait in a brilliant, framed cloisonné-style aesthetic. The internal bullet remains fully formed, showcasing a deep, velvety terracotta orange-red hue decorated with a beautifully crisp laser-engraving of Picasso’s personal stylized profile signature along the side and tip.
Hallmarks & Provenance:
The base of the heavy golden case retains its original metallic factory production label identifying the official "ZEESEA" trademark, formulation weight of 3.8g, and specific shade registration "905". Sourced out of a private modern design estate in Eastern Tennessee, this tube was preserved as a vanity accent piece.
Curatorial Handling & Archival Preservation:
To safeguard the intricate exterior artwork and the integrity of the pristine laser-etched bullet, this artifact is maintained within our static-free, dust-free archive. The piece is kept in a climate-controlled zone with managed relative humidity and handled entirely with lint-free curatorial gloves.
Fine Art Logistics & Shipping Protocol:
The item will be delicately shrouded in multiple layers of acid-free archival tissue paper, secured inside an impact-resistant bubble cocoon, and nestled within an independent inner protective box. This presentation capsule is shipped inside a rigid outer container to guarantee safe delivery to your display collection.
Condition Report:

Founded in 2012, ZEESEA Cosmetics is a vanguard Chinese beauty brand that skyrocketed to global prominence by spearheading the "C-Beauty" trend of turning cosmetics into high-art collectible mediums. Rather than relying on standard, minimalist packaging, ZEESEA differentiates itself by securing formal, high-profile intellectual property partnerships with major global cultural institutions—including licensing agreements with the British Museum (for an Ancient Egyptian line) and the National Gallery in London (for a Van Gogh collection). Their exclusive multi-year collaboration with the Pablo Picasso Estate remains one of their most celebrated artistic triumphs. Authorized explicitly by the artist’s estate to honor the legacy of Cubism, this limited-edition collection went beyond simply printing masterworks like Italian Woman or Marie-Thérèse Walter onto outer casing boxes. ZEESEA meticulously engineered heavy, three-dimensional, cloisonné-framed metallic tubes and paired them with custom, multi-surface micro-laser engravings directly on the lipstick bullet itself. Because these collections are now entirely out of print and primary retail channels are permanently sold out, intact tubes with visible factory engravings have transitioned from simple makeup into highly sought-after pop-culture vanity antiquities and art history display pieces.
