Nouba lipstick

Cosmetics Italian brand Nouba - one of the most popular at the moment. Since its foundation in 1978, it has gained popularity primarily due to its persistent lipstick with a wide palette of shades.

Features and benefits

There is a legend according to which the founder of the company, Rozi Armanini, traveling around Africa, was inspired by the achievements of body art of one of the tribes of Northern Sudan.

Since then, the company has been manufacturing products using eco-friendly materials and secret compositions of the African tribe, and the exotic flavor of the “black continent” inspires the brand’s designers to create bright and dynamic collections.

Description

Most models differ in their characteristics and color, while the design of all products is designed in a conservative black color, creating a contrast between the packaging and its content. These are mostly convenient cases with tight lids that fit into any cosmetic bag.

Composition

All models include not only synthetic components that are traditional for modern cosmetics, but also various natural additives. Various oils and extracts do not allow the skin to lose its health and youth under the influence of decorative cosmetics, even with constant use.

Shelf life

Traditionally, the shelf life of lipstick - 3 years. Representatives of the company recommend, especially in cases where the numbers on the packaging erased in use replace the lipstick with a new one after two years from the date of purchase.

Kinds

Sustained this lipstick makes a special composition and use in the production of advanced technologies that allow you to create cosmetics that do not harm the body, as is often the case with cheap waterproof tools.

Another liquid lipstick of this brand - "Nouba Shine Impact". It also belongs to the super-resistant, but it is distinguished from "Millebaci" by a wide form of the applicator.

It is so small that it will not allow to see the whole face as a whole, but it is perfect for lip makeup.

How to choose your tone

The first thing to do before selecting cosmetics is to determine your color type. For this you need to do a test or resort to the help of a professional stylist. It is necessary first of all in order to choose the right shades of cosmetics, and this applies to everything - from the tonal basis to the shadows and lipstick. Incorrectly chosen colors can give your face a tired, painful look and highlight the imperfections of the skin - wrinkles, redness, pigment spots.

The main feature of color types is “warmth”. If you are dominated by warm shades in appearance (color of skin, hair, eyes), then most cold shades are absolutely contraindicated to you. Conversely, with a “cold” appearance, warm shades of cosmetics may not create the effect you would like. Therefore, your primary task is to determine which of the 16 color types you belong to.

The second stage is to decide for what purposes you intend to buy lipstick. Will it be a casual option or tone will be selected for ceremonial exits or holidays. If you are in search of everyday lipstick, you will have to choose the tone as carefully as possible. It should be combined favorably with the color of the skin both during the day and in the evening, as well as in different lighting conditions, in harmony with your style of clothing and not be beaten out of the framework of the dress code, if there is one in your work environment.

In the second case, everything is somewhat simpler - knowing your color type and the intended outfit, you can easily understand which shades you need to pay attention to first. All of them have their own number, which can be found on the bottom of the package.

After that you can safely go to the nearest store for the final selection of the desired shade.

Note that the store may not have the tone you need, so just in case you will choose a few of the closest ones in color - the Nouba rulers easily allow you to do this. The choice is simplified by the fact that cosmetics probes are provided in the stores, which allow you to get a closer look at the color of the lipstick and its texture. With the help of these probes you can make swatches that will help you make the final decision. Under current law, stores must necessarily allow the buyer to get acquainted with the products before buying it.

Cost of

You can buy Nouba products in almost any cosmetic store. As a rule, the price of lipstick Nouba ranges from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

Approximately for the same cost they can be purchased at the company's Italian online shopping. This is especially true for those who live in small cities and are forced to look for the necessary shades through the Network.

Reviews

Nouba's steady lipstick invariably delights girls who buy them. With this they won the title of one of the most popular brands of waterproof cosmetics. As the main advantage is always called really impressive resistance. In addition, lipsticks of all lines dry quickly, do not dry out the lips, and some, on the contrary, contain various plant extracts (for example, aloe leaf extract and papaya extract in the 2017 collection “Unconventional Glam”) that nourish and moisturize the skin.

However, among the reviews can be found and complaints.

For example, in the process of using some shades form lumps and exfoliate on the inner side of the lips, where the boundary of the oral mucosa begins. Persistence even in different tones of the same line is different. And when you receive too oily and greasy food lipstick may begin to spread. There are also difficulties with applying some lipstick due to too liquid consistency, as well as insufficient velvety.
