Tacha Sets Sights on Guinness World Record at Inaugural Beauty Festival

Nigeria’s vibrant beauty and lifestyle scene is set for a historic spotlight as media personality and entrepreneur Tacha Akide unveils the maiden edition of the Tacha Beauty Festival. The three-day cultural and creative showcase will run from October 10–12, 2025, at the prestigious John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History, Lagos.

The festival’s centerpiece will be Tacha’s Guinness World Record attempt for the Most Cosmetic Makeovers by an Individual in 24 Hours, with a bold target of 150 makeovers.

“This is more than a record attempt. It is a statement that Nigerian creativity and excellence can compete anywhere in the world,” noted Idris Aregbe, Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Tourism. “The Tacha Beauty Festival is about empowering talent, celebrating culture, and creating a space where beauty meets opportunity. Lagos State is proud to support this project.”

Beyond the record-breaking attempt, the festival promises:
✨ Workshops & Masterclasses – Makeup, skincare, hair, wellness, and fashion.
✨ Vendor Village & Exhibitions – A hub for local beauty brands to showcase products and engage directly with thousands of participants.
✨ Business & Culture Fusion – Creating new pathways for growth and positioning Nigeria as a creative hub.

For Tacha, a reality TV star turned entrepreneur and philanthropist, this festival is a continuation of her drive to break barriers, empower youth, and inspire creatives across Africa.

With the Tacha Beauty Festival, Lagos is not only celebrating beauty but also nurturing a vibrant industry with global potential.
