Tacha Akide, the reality TV star, is set to attempt the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most makeup applications by a single artist, aiming to complete 150 makeovers in 24 hours.
The attempt will be the centerpiece of the second day of the inaugural Tacha Beauty Festival, a three-day event scheduled for October 10-12 at the John Randle Centre in Lagos.
The festival will feature a wide array of activities, including beauty workshops, exhibitions, musical performances, empowerment sessions, games, and pool parties.
Expressing her excitement, Tacha stated that the ambitious record attempt is about more than just a title.
“I will be breaking the Guinness World Record for most makeup on people by one artist. We are talking about 150 makeovers in 24 hours. A record that will put Nigeria and Africa on the global beauty map,” she said.
The event has garnered official support from the Lagos state government.
Idris Aregbe, special adviser to the Lagos state governor on tourism, praised the initiative as a testament to Nigerian creativity and excellence.
“This is more than a record attempt. It is a statement that Nigerian creativity and excellence can compete anywhere in the world,” he said.
“The Tacha Beauty Festival is about empowering talent, celebrating culture, and creating a space where beauty meets opportunity. Lagos State is proud to support this project.”
On April 30, 2024, the current holder Mary Yongai of Sierra Leone achieved the record by performing 111 cosmetic makeovers in 24 hours in Freetown.
