In a dazzling display of endurance, creativity, and passion, reality TV star and entrepreneur Natacha Akide, widely known as Tacha, has wrapped up her ambitious 24-hour Guinness World Record attempt for the most makeovers done in a single day.
The marathon beauty challenge took place at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History in Lagos, where Tacha spent an entire day transforming the looks of 145 men and women. The event, which began on Saturday and ended around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, drew massive attention both online and on-site.
Despite facing a few early setbacks, including a brief power outage, Tacha’s energy never waned. She powered through the 24-hour session with poise, applying makeup with precision and flair, while maintaining her characteristic charm throughout.
The record attempt doubled as the Tacha Beauty Festival, a glamorous event that merged art, culture, and empowerment. Each participant’s transformation was beautifully captured in professional photos and a runway showcase that highlighted Tacha’s versatility and talent as a makeup artist.
The venue was buzzing with support from fans and celebrities alike. Popular figures including Toke Makinwa, Alex Unusual, Dabota Lawson, Soma Anyama, Slimcase, Ice Prince, and Egungun of Lagos joined the crowd to cheer her on. Also in attendance was Idris Aregbe, the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Tourism, underscoring the event’s cultural significance.
Tacha, who shot to fame after appearing on Big Brother Naija Season 4, said her goal was to inspire Nigerian women and spotlight the country’s growing influence in the global beauty industry.
“This challenge is more than just about setting a record,” she said. “It’s about celebrating creativity, consistency, and the strength of women who dare to dream big.”
While she awaits official confirmation from Guinness World Records, Tacha’s feat has already become a trending topic across social media, with fans praising her perseverance and work ethic.
Her 24-hour makeover marathon stands as a powerful reminder of how determination and vision can transform not just faces but lives and legacies.
