The Airbrush Makeup done by her was divided into seven different steps, using “only” the AIRBRUSH equipment. Ms Lucia Sinigagliesi, Guinness World Record official adjudicator verified the accuracy of the record setting attempt and rewarded Ishika Taneja with certificate of Guinness World Records.

After officially being recognized in the Guinness World Record, Ishika celebrated her triumph and accomplishment by dedicating her award to Braveheart, Nirbhaya-a victim of 2012 gang-rape incident in the presence of Nirbhaya’s parents. As the beauty expert was deeply moved by the horrific incident, she was determined to raise the issue of inhumane atrocities towards women through this medium. The entire fund raised during the event will go to the Nirbhaya Jyoti Trust. Moreover, 12 scholarships worth Rs. 12 lakhs will be endowed to other women victims of Delhi, with 100% job assurance by Ms. Bharti Taneja Founder Director of The Alps Group.

International Beauty Expert and Executive Director of Alps beauty Clinic, Ishika Taneja said, “It is a rare moment of pride and honor to dedicate this award to the braveheart, Nirbhaya which is a tribute to all the brave hearts & my heart goes out to all the rape victims. Inspite of the various steps taken by the government at all levels, not much has changed in the country. Through this event I want to bring every little possible change in the society. We the people, together, create society and this sensitive issue is not going to die an unnatural death. So, we all should come and pledge to prevent such further incidents from happening”.

Ms. Bharti Taneja of Alps Beauty Clinic said, “Today, I feel extremely proud as a parent, when my daughter has done something as historical as inscribing her name in the GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS. Just like me, my daughter too has been very keen on making a mark in the world of beauty – both nationally and internationally – which, I believe, she has successfully implemented today! Also, my husband and I have always tried to instill the qualities of care and concern for others in our children. Therefore Ishika had utmost concern for the unprivileged lot of the society. And when she expressed her urge to dedicate her “achievement of a lifetime” (this award) to the country’s brave-heart Nirbhaya – not only me our ENTIRE FAMILY felt immensely gratified and PROUD”
