Tacha Akide, the reality TV star, has completed her attempt to set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most makeovers by a single artist in 24 hours.
The challenge was the centrepiece of the second day of the inaugural Tacha Beauty Festival, held at the John Randle Centre in Lagos.
While Akide aimed to complete 150 makeovers, she successfully finished 145 transformations within 24 hours. The attempt was kicked off on October 11.
A video from the official Instagram page for the record attempt captured the euphoric moment the clock ran out, with fans erupting in celebration as she surpassed the existing record.
The current record is held by Sierra Leonean Mary Yongai, who completed 111 makeup applications in 24 hours.

Each model’s transformation was meticulously documented with professional headshots. Following their makeovers, the models strutted down a runway as part of the festival’s showcase.
The event drew significant support, with celebrities such as Toke Makinwa, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Ice Prince, Hilda Baci, Cross, Shaun, Wanni and Handi and Dabota Lawson in attendance.
Tacha’s achievement of 145 makeovers is now pending official verification and confirmation by the Guinness World Records (GWR) organisation.
Tacha first rose to fame during the 2019 edition of BBNaija. Her time on the show ended prematurely after she was disqualified for physical aggression toward a fellow housemate.
Since then, she has built a career in the entertainment industry. She ventured into fashion and worked as a radio host at Cool FM.
Recently, Tacha expanded her business ventures into sports by launching a football club called Tacha FC.
