NOUBA was created by Rosy Armanini in 1978 after a visit to one of the Nuba tribes in Africa. Known for their extraordinary body paint used by tribes members to celebrate rituals, Rosy was inspired by their bright and bold use of colour. Nouba is also reflective of the French word ‘nouba’ meaning ‘live it up’!

The Science behind it all

We are all looking for highly ‘pigmented’ makeup, but what does pigmented mean? And how does it affect the quality and coverage of your makeup? Pigment, put simply, is another word for colour. All makeup is pigmented except for that which is white. The size of the pigments in your makeup determines the richness of its colour; so your eyeshadows would contain smaller pigments than your loose setting powder.

NOUBA uses Micronised Pigments in their products. Micronised pigments are about 40,000 times thinner than a strand of hair! This makes the colour in your product dense and bold, meaning a little goes a long way! It also enables your product to spread evenly across the skin and allows for easy blending.

These micronised pigments are also coated in sugars. The sugars mimic the sebum membrane in the skin, that which produces natural oils to keep your skin smooth and supple. They are also hydrophilic, meaning that they attract water and help to hydrate your skin.
