Kaylah Oniwo and Enioluwa Adeoluwa kept the vibrant guests captivated as the hosts of the night. They led fun games and mingled with the guests who vibed in between meals to electrifying sounds from DJ Big N.

It was content creation heaven, as there were numerous photo spots starting from the moment the elevator doors opened. There were flower mirrors with Tiwa Savage lyrics leading into the beautiful restaurant which had a glamorous setting with MAC x Tiwa Savage branded gold throw pillows, and a luxurious stage.

On the patio, there was a beautiful makeshift MAC store, a MAC x Tiwa Savage recording booth, a lit-up photo wall, and the Tiwa Savage lounge where she unveiled her lipstick to the cheering audience. Attendees were treated to a posh three-course meal and nonstop bubbly and cocktails.

When the “queen of afro beats” arrived, she thanked everyone for coming out to celebrate with her and stated that

“no other continent represents all shades and as black women, we consume cosmetics especially MAC so much so for me, it’s not just about being a MAC Maker, it’s about opening doors. This is the beginning. I want this to do so well so we can have other MAC Makers out of Africa. Not just myself.”

”There are other MAC Makers from other continents so we should have one come from the East, West, North South representing the whole continent. I’m so happy that MAC has finally given us a voice. I also chose red because even though I’m a nude person, I wanted to choose a color that pushes me out of my comfort zone and I spent two years creating this shade so I’m so honored, and so happy. Tonight is not really about celebrating me. It’s about celebrating all of us and our voice being heard as an African woman, this is about the whole continent and I’m really grateful for MAC choosing me to be the first MAC Maker but certainly not the last.”
