As a celebrated hair and makeup artist who spends her time bouncing between states to work with the country’s top celebrities and influencers, Gina Simone knows what it takes to create a thriving business in today’s beauty industry. Putting her artistic eye and makeup expertise to good use, Simone has recently taken her passion for beauty to new heights, launching her own line of cosmetic products through her brand: Artistboxxx. With an impressive lineup of verdant palettes available for purchase, Simone is creating an experience that caters to global skin tones and signature style. As an environmental enthusiast and nature lover, Gina integrated her passion for sustainability into every package’s curation. Made from materials that have been utilized to reduce the footprint of production, Artistboxxx palettes have interchangeable pans that will soon become refillable, shared founder Gina Simone. Inspired by her personal experiences on set for major brand campaigns, she believes that the artistry of creating flawless makeup is endlessly motivating.
Artistboxxx reflects Simone’s commitment to inclusivity by offering a range of products that are thoughtfully formulated to suit a variety of skin tones, ensuring that every individual can find shades that satisfy their needs. This dedication is even evident in Simone’s prize offerings, the Polish and Glow Palettes. Drawing from her years of experience as a professional makeup artist, she recognized the need for a streamlined offering that provides the perfect blend of products in one simple package. To achieve this, the Polish and Glow Palettes feature arrangements of an exclusively developed creme-formula blush, cream luminizers, eyeshadows, and contour products that are combined into one simple product. A customer favorite, the Hamptons Polish and Glow Palette, stands out for its sophisticated feel associated with Hamptons glamour. This palette includes Artistboxxx’s signature Oasis luminizer, the Pop of Cheek Creme in shade Hibiscus, the chic Driftwood contour, and two complementary eyeshadows, Tawny and Dune. The result is a versatile collection that can be used to create a range of stunning looks, from everyday glam to luxurious nights out.
On the other hand, the Amalfi Polish and Glow Palette is ideal for the self-indulgent traveler. This product features a Golden Girl Glow creme in highlighter shade D’Oro, a limited-edition Dahlia silk-creme formula blush, an elevated contour in shade Espresso, and two accompanying eyeshadows in Marrone and Caramello. The warm, Mediterranean color scheme of this palette embodies Italian Riviera vibes, allowing users to achieve a sun-kissed glow. Together, these palettes – among the others available on the Artistboxxx website – provide an elevated aura to curating a makeup routine for girls on the go.
Setting Artistboxxx apart from competing brands is the meticulous attention to detail that Simone applies to her formulations. She emphasizes the importance of simplifying beauty routines while still delivering professional-quality results. “It’s really important to me to be passionate about the products that I formulate,” Simone expressed. “I think my brand is unique in that the products are designed to simplify routines and be universally curated from a professional artist’s standpoint.” This approach ensures that even those new to makeup can feel comfortable experimenting with color blending and application. Additionally, each product is made with clean formulas, whether in cream or powder form. Customers can rest assured that every item is made to enhance their skin’s natural glow while remaining safe and high-quality.
Simone draws inspiration for her brand from her daily experiences on the set of brand deals and campaigns for which she provides professional hair and makeup services. “The art of creating gorgeous, clean makeup looks is still inspiring to me after all these years,” she said. It was this passion that led to the development of the Polish and Glow palettes, as well as some of her other lip oils and Lip Glazeee. In creating these products, Simone specifically recognized the challenge that many professionals face in blending multiple products to achieve a radiant finish. Her goal was simple: to encapsulate the “fashion shoot look” in a single palette. The result is a game-changing product that allows users to easily attain that magazine-quality glow.
Now, as she travels across the United States promoting her makeup line, Simone continues to provide hair and makeup advice to celebrity and influencer clients in Los Angeles, Miami, Palm Beach, New York City, and beyond. Her dedication to building her brand and her ability to empower others to look and feel their best makes Gina Simone a standout figure in the beauty industry. With Artistboxxx, she is redefining beauty standards, one glowing palette at a time.
