Since 1978, Italian Makeup Excellence.
ROOTS
Nouba was founded in 1978 by talented Italian make-up artist Rosy Armani, at the end of a transformative journey.
Deeply inspired by the vibrant beauty and joyful spirit of the Nuba tribes in Sudan, Rosy was struck by their expressive use of color as a form of identity and celebration. This powerful encounter sparked her desire to experiment with bold pigments and innovative materials, leading her to create a new vision of make-up: free, creative, and deeply personal.
Since then, color, innovation, and individual expression have become the core pillars of Nouba’s DNA.
Over the years, Nouba has established itself as one of the first professional make-up brands in Italy, earning recognition for its pioneering spirit, high-performance formulas, and dynamic approach to beauty trends. A passion for color and the ability to anticipate and shape trends have always been at the heart of the brand’s philosophy.
With a strong foundation in research and development, and guided by the high standards of Italian quality, care, and creativity, Nouba continues to stand out on the international scene.
The brand specializes in creating versatile, multifunctional, and easy-to-use products that combine cutting-edge technology with creative intuition—offering reliable and high-performing solutions that allow everyone to express their personality with confidence.
Rooted in its heritage yet focused on the future, Nouba is more ready than ever to inspire a new generation of beauty lovers around the world-promoting authenticity and personal expression through color and creativity.
