Tacha Akide, the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, is set to attempt a Guinness World Record (GWR) for the most makeovers created in 24 hours.
In an Instagram post, the reality star shared throwback clips of herself applying makeup on others and on herself, describing the craft as her “first love.”
The attempt, which also doubles as a three-day beauty festival, is scheduled for October 10 to 12 at the John Randle Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
Tacha described the festival as more than just an event, but a convergence of culture, creativity, commerce, and national pride. She said it would also spotlight Nigeria’s beauty industry through training, exhibitions, and networking.
“I’m putting together the BIGGEST 3-Day Beauty Festival and a Guinness World Record attempt for the most number of makeovers in 24 hours!” she wrote.
“To set the record, Tacha will need to surpass Sierra Leone’s Mary Yongai, who achieved 111 makeovers in 24 hours by a single artist. Yongai accomplished the feat in Freetown on April 30, 2024.
However, it remains unclear if the reality TV star has received approval from Guinness World Records (GWR) to undertake the attempt.
