Artistry is the only direct sales brand classified in the "prestige" category. Artistry is also sponsoring Miss America, officially providing skin care and colour cosmetics. The Artistry Scholarship, sponsored by Amway Global has been supporting young women to achieve their goals and careers.

Artistry was launched in 1968 as a product line of skincare under the Nutrilite brand and continues to utilise Nutrilite research and technology, including patented Nutrilite extracts which are organically grown.

As of 2000, the Artistry range included over 400 products.

Up to and including 2004, Ingrid Vandebosch of Belgium was known to be the face of Artistry. She was followed in 2005 by Canadian model Kim Tyo.

In 2005, Amway introduced Artistry's two sister brands NAO Cosmetics and E. Funkhouser. These brands are targeted to a younger audience, with NAO Cosmetics available in North America and E. Funkhouser in other Amway markets. Amway ceased marketing these brands in 2010.

In May 2007, it was announced by Skate Canada and Quixtar that Artistry Cosmetics would be the official skin care and cosmetics sponsor for Skate Canada events and the Skate Canada national team.
