Tacha Akide, Nigerian media personality, reality star, and entrepreneur, is preparing to make history with the inaugural Tacha Beauty Festival scheduled for October 10-12, 2025. The event will take place at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History in Lagos. The highlight of the festival is her bold Guinness World Record attempt for the Most Cosmetic Makeovers by an Individual in 24 Hours. Her target is 150 makeovers, a feat that would shine a spotlight on Nigeria’s growing beauty and lifestyle industry.

What to Expect at the Festival

The three-day festival will feature masterclasses and workshops in makeup, skincare, hair, wellness, and fashion. Exhibitors and vendors will showcase products in a vendor village designed to connect local brands with thousands of attendees.

Tacha has also positioned the festival as a platform for empowerment. Alongside the glamour, there will be business sessions, networking opportunities, and entrepreneurship talks for rising talent across beauty, wellness, and creative sectors.

Significance of the Record Attempt

To achieve the Guinness World Record, Tacha must perform more makeovers in a single 24-hour span than any individual has managed before. Setting the ambitious goal of 150 makeovers, she hopes to demonstrate that Nigerian creativity and talent can compete globally. The Lagos State Government has expressed its support for the initiative. Idris Aregbe, Special Adviser on Tourism, said the festival aligns with the state’s commitment to promoting culture, talent, and local business.

With registration open to beauty professionals, enthusiasts, and vendors, the Tacha Beauty Festival is already generating buzz. It promises to become one of Nigeria’s most exciting beauty and lifestyle events, combining entertainment with a record-breaking challenge.
