We were lucky to catch up with Gina Simone recently and have shared our conversation below.

Gina , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. undefined

I’m incredibly proud of the creation of my Polish and Glowww palettes because they represent something so close to my heart — bridging the gap between the professional artist and the everyday consumer. For years, I’ve worked behind the scenes in beauty, and I’ve seen firsthand how pro techniques and tools can feel out of reach or intimidating to the average person. I wanted to change that. The clean formulas, shades, and layout make it intuitive to use — and effective. I wanted everyone to feel like they had a makeup artist in their pocket. These palettes empower people to elevate and simplify their beauty routine with confidence, not confusion..

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I got my start over 25 years ago in the fashion world, assisting makeup artists and then working my way up to being a key artist on major fashion and music shoots in NYC. That fast-paced, creative environment taught me so much about artistry and transformation. It also opened my eyes to the gap between pro techniques and what’s available to everyday consumers — and that’s what inspired me to create products like the Polish and Glowww palettes through ARTISTBOXXX.”

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

Being a makeup artist gave me a front-row seat to the beauty industry’s inner workings — from runway to real life. It showed me what was missing for everyday consumers, and that inspired me to create ARTISTBOXXX — a brand that brings pro-level beauty to everyone, So it really kind of evolved into something really special

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

I’ve always been committed to delivering high-level artistry with intention and precision. What truly set me apart was my ability to take what I learned in the pro world and make it accessible. Launching ARTISTBOXXX was my way of turning that passion into a brand — one that connects the dots between professional beauty and the everyday routine.
