Amway’s Artistry Cosmetics

November 2, 2011 By: Alison Blackman

“Artistry” is the name of the Amway skincare and cosmetics line.  I was first introduced to it at a Fashion Week event long ago.  I liked the skincare and makeup I tried in the Artistry Lounge, including some clever products with interesting features.

These products will help you get your glam on, but they’re not inexpensive. They compare with high-end department store brands.

Impressive range of products:

One of the things to like about Artistry is the impressive range of products from acne fighters to lipsticks.  The company is even a sponsor of the Miss America organization.

One of the reasons Miss America likes Artistry is that the company doesn’t try to hide anything. They list the product ingredients on their web site.  For those who need to know exactly what is in the products they use, this is a real benefit.

Multi-Level Marketing:

Do note that Amway is a multi-level marketing company that is sold by representatives in 80 countries.

However, for skincare bordering on expensive to super-premium, I would have liked to have seen more testing and actual reports on how the products have performed.

Artistry’s Creme LuXury Eye:

This product claims to help you look 15 years younger with a “total transformation 360 degrees around the upper and lower eye areas. Artistry claims a “unique, 87-step micro-texturizing process creates a firm, silky texture.” This is fueled by “cardiolipin,” the rarest and most expensive ingredient ever used in an Artisty Product.

The instant lift polymers did seem to de-puff my tired under-eye area, instantly, and the cooling effect was nice, too.  My eyes really did look rested, and I was ready to fall in love with the product.

Oops! 

Alas, the oxygen-free pump top popped off the first time I opened the bottle, and I couldn’t re-attach it. The pump diffuser is wobbling and loose, making it messy and frustrating to dispense.  When you are shelling out $175.00 for a 6-8 week supply, you expect the packaging to be perfect.

If this doesn’t seem like an insurmountable issue it might be an impressive product.  I don’t know if Artistry reps offer samples. If they do, ask for one before you commit. If you are as impressed as I was, it might be worth the cost.

Artistry’s Time Defiance line is a little less pricey hovering around $33.00 to around $75.00 per piece. There is also 4-piece collections that focus on specific skin types.

Color Cosmetics:

artistry light up lip glossWhen it comes to color cosmetics, the prices are easier to deal with.   My favorite product is the Light Up Lip Gloss (Elizabeth Grant and a few other companies also feature a light up lip product), for $15.30. It is billed as a “Miss America favorite.”

The gloss comes in three different colors: berry, peach and pink, with lots of sheer shimmer.  But the gloss has more than just good looks:  There is a built-in mirror on the tube (this will scratch to near-useless unless you keep it protected) but the wand top lights up, so you can really see what you are doing, even in low light.

Such a Good Idea!

I can’t tell you how many times I have used that light-up tube when I really can’t see!  This one from Artistry is good and at a very reasonable price.  I just wish there were more colors to choose from. Other Lip glosses are  silky and come in sheer and full coverage.

I tried a few eye products and a 3D Face Powder ($27.70) shimmer for the face. The eye products are ok, but nothing really special.  The shimmer powder arrives in a square, black mirrored compact with room for a very clever split blush/contour brush (not included).

A Good Brush:

The split brush ($3.95) can be used full sized for an all over glow or blush, and folds in half, literally, to make an angled contour brush.  It is truly clever and I wish they had just included it.   The shimmer powder features strips of shimmery hues in pink tones, or the warm/bronze one I tried with hues from white and champagne all the way to bronze.

Nice Foundation with SPF

The foundation selection is nice too, with two featuring SPF 20 PA++++  two with SPF 18, and the rest with SPF 15.  There range of colors is good, but if you are personal with very deep skin, you will find just a few colors that might or might not match your skin tone.

There is a lot to like about Artistry.  I loved individual items, but overall, the price and range of colors don’t always make it a good buy.  Still, the products are good, and worthy of your consideration.

Note:

If your sales rep tries to sell you on Amway and all you want are nice cosmetics, be ready to say yes to the makeup and skincare, but “no thanks” to the sales pitch.  For more information about Artistry, call (800) 253-6500 or visit www.artistry.com.

    Every business owner is different. I understand there are extremes people can take and you did say that they “may get an aggressive […] pitch.” There are many who are very respectful and ask a simple question to see if there is interest in marketing the products. Also, did you happen to do any price comparisons to base your opinions of the prices? The Artistry products are of the “prestige” category so prices would be comparable to products such as those from Estee Lauder.

      Thanks for your comments. I agree everyone’s approach and experience will be different. But that’s the way the world works. As to the price comparisons, I’ve been reviewing beauty products every single day for over a decade, actually more like a decade and a half, so I’ve tried hundreds of skincare items. Artistry is on the high end, but certainly not the highest. Estee Lauder is a department store oriented brand that I’d consider a middle-priced line. Artistry’s prestige items are much more expensive on average, but they’re also more unique
