Reality TV star, Natacha Akide aka Tacha on Saturday evening kicked-off her quest to break the Guinness World Record for the most makeovers done in 24 hours.
Tacha commenced the world record attempt at 8:00pm at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History in Lagos, amid cheers from fans and fellow celebrities.
No fewer than 150 models are expected to participate, as Tacha and her team work through night and day of marathon makeup applications on them in a bid to achieve the event.
The event is part of her ongoing three-day Tacha Beauty Festival, holding from October 10 to 12 at the centre.
Before embarking on the world record attempt, she paid an emotional tribute to her late mother, whom she described as her inspiration.
A large banner at the venue reads, “Every makeover, every smile, every moment today is for you. Your legacy lives through me.”
She also could be seen briefly kneeling before the banner apparently offering prayers.
Some celebrities that were present to lend their support include Broda Shaggi, Hilda Baci and Liquorose.
