About Us

NOMA Cosmetics was born from a story of love, legacy, and the transformative power of beauty. Inspired by founder Melisa’s mother, Nomalanga, NOMA is both a tribute and a mission. Nomalanga, meaning “sun” in Zulu, honours her warmth and the light she brought.

Growing up, I found herself captivated by makeup, not just for its colours or trends, but for how it made me feel: bold, confident, and completely myself. Makeup became my creative outlet and a tool of empowerment. It helped me step intomy identity, express my mood, and embrace every version of who I was. With NOMA Cosmetics, i'm sharing that feeling with the world.

Rooted in heritage, driven by passion, and made for real life, NOMA is more than makeup. It’s a celebration of who you are and who you’re becoming.

So go and BE BOLD, BE BRIGHT, BE YOU
