"82 makeovers in 8 hours. 143 makeovers in 24 hours. This wasn’t just about speed… it was about impact, dedication, and a decade of showing up for my craft. 10 years of building. 10 years of believing. 10 years of becoming.
"And today, the plaques say it all. Thank you to the SA @connectwithlagos for your unending support. The fastest makeup artist in the world".
The accomplished makeup artist, now recognised as the fastest in the world, credits her mother for teaching her the skills that led to this achievement.
"Thinking of you, mummy. I lost my mum, Stella, 12 years ago. My mom taught me everything I know today. Deep down, I wouldn’t be anything like who I am today if it weren’t for her. Every step, every win, every milestone… I wish I could run to you and say: Mummy, see… see what I did.”
"Makeup… my first love. The love that grew into passion. The passion that has now birthed 2 Guinness World Records. The hardest part of moments like this is knowing I can’t see you, I can’t hug you, I can’t call you and say: "Mummy, your daughter is breaking boundaries.”
"Mummy, I miss you so much. I wish you were here to see this. But I know you’re watching me. Your daughter did it. Grateful. Focused. Just getting started", she concluded.
