NOUBA Professional Makeup

NOUBA before it becomes fashion

In 1978 NOUBA make-up line was found taking inspiration from the name of a Central African tribe on the border of the desert: the NUBA During their rituals to celebrate festivities and special occasions, tribe members painted their bodies using colours available from the soil around them. All the colours used to create the Nouba collection remain faithful to the natural tones found in pigments derived from the various soil components.


Innovative drive and creativity are the tools used to develop this line of make-up that boldly proposed new products with screaming colours to take a dormant and bland market by storm.As a forerunner, it appeared on the cosmetic market with a minimalist and essential image that used an exceptionally sober packaging with new and specially designed graphics. Its straightforward and high impact logo conveys the company’s philosophy.The greatest care and precision in continuous research and the wide array of trendsetting colours are the keys to success that have made NOUBA a leader in the international marketplace.
