Mary Yei Yonga from Sierra Leone has broken today broken a 19 year old record for Most Cosmetic Makeovers In 24 Hours after Martha Tilaar at the Kelapa Gading Mall, Jakarta, Indonesia from 22-23 May 2005.
Mary Yei Yonga who was supported by thousands of Sierra Leones across the world both online and at the Bintumani car park hascompleted a total of over 100 cosmetics in 24 hours, breaking the previous record held by PAC Professional Artist Cosmetics Martha Tilaar at the Kelapa Gading Mall, Jakarta, Indonesia in 2005 (96 cosmetic makeovers).
Mary Yei Yonga on the first day completed 50 people before 12 AM. Mary started her record attempt on Tuesday at the Bintumani car park in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Sierra Leone has been on the Guinness Book of Records a few times, fewer than many other African countries. For Mary, this is the time to show the world what Sierra Leoneans are capable of doing.
According to Mary, her goal is to inspire young makeup artists in Sierra Leone to dream big and believe in themselves.
Mary Yei Yonga got the support of many Sierra Leoneans artists and online celebrities who showed up to support her at the Bintumani car park.
Mary is now awaiting a confirmation from Guinness World Records for her attempt. If lucky, she’d be officially awarded the record for the most cosmetic makeovers in 24 hours by an individual.
