Nigerian reality TV star Anita Natacha, popularly known as Tacha, has officially set two new Guinness World Records for completing the most individual cosmetic makeovers within 24 hours.
Naija News reports that the achievement took place on October 11, when Tacha set up her makeup station behind a glass wall in Lagos, allowing passersby to watch her work.
In a post on her Instagram page on Wednesday, Tacha revealed that she completed 82 makeovers in the first eight hours and went on to finish 144 makeovers within a full 24-hour period, surpassing the previous record held by Mary Yongai of Sierra Leone.
Each participant received a full makeover, including foundation, concealer, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, lip liner and gloss, eyebrow work, and finishing powder.
The attempt faced unexpected challenges.
A severe nine-hour storm disrupted the setup, damaging screens and branding, while power outages forced the team to rely on phone flashlights.
Despite the difficulties, Tacha and her team continued without stopping, ensuring all makeovers were completed on time.
Guinness World Records later confirmed her success, awarding her two new titles and recognizing her for breaking the previous record.
Tacha shared that the moment was overwhelming, describing a mix of joy, relief, and pride as she celebrated with her team.
She dedicated the records to young girls, creatives, and dreamers, aiming to inspire Nigerians and African women to pursue their ambitions and showcase their talent on a global stage.
