About NOMA

Colour, confidence and a name with meaning.

NOMA is a cosmetics brand for people who use makeup to experiment, express themselves and make a look their own.

NOMA takes its name from Nomalanga, founder Melisa’s mother. Nomalanga means “sun” in Zulu, a name that carries the warmth and light Melisa associates with her.

For Melisa, makeup became a way to explore colour, mood and identity. She created NOMA Cosmetics to give other people that same room to play, change and show up as themselves.

Be bold. Be bright. Be you.
