GWR Confirms Tacha’s Double Record-Breaking Makeup Feat
Nigerian reality TV star and influencer Natacha Akide, popularly known as Symply Tacha, has officially entered the Guinness World Records after setting two new world records for the most cosmetic makeovers in eight hours and twenty-four hours.
The Guinness World Records team verified the achievement, confirming that Tacha surpassed the previous records by completing 82 makeovers in eight hours and a remarkable 144 makeovers in twenty-four hours, during a marathon event held on October 11 in Lagos.
The event, which was organized at a dedicated makeup station, was not without its challenges. Tacha and her team faced extreme weather conditions and power disruptions that threatened to derail the record attempt.
In her words, Tacha recounted:
“We faced a nine-hour storm that disrupted everything. The rain poured so heavily that our screens, monitors, and branding fell apart. The wind scattered the setup, and we had to rebuild the venue from scratch mid-event.
On top of that, we experienced multiple power outages during the 24-hour attempt. The lights went off three or four times, but I refused to stop. My team turned on their phone flashlights, and I kept doing makeovers in the dark.
It wasn’t just about makeup anymore; it was about proving that nothing could stop us.”
Despite these obstacles, the Big Brother Naija alumna showcased immense perseverance and professionalism, completing every transformation with precision and flair. The models who participated were elated with their new looks, many describing the experience as “unforgettable” and “empowering.”
The record-breaking event has been widely celebrated across social media, with fans and fellow celebrities praising Tacha for her determination, artistry, and leadership. Her achievement is being hailed as a symbol of Nigerian creativity, resilience, and global excellence.
Tacha’s recognition by Guinness World Records not only marks a personal victory but also shines a spotlight on Nigeria’s thriving beauty and fashion industry, showcasing its ability to compete at the global stage.
Her double achievement adds her name to the growing list of Nigerians breaking barriers and setting new global standards across diverse fields.
