Josephine Ishola’s poised ponytail, refined makeup, and elegant gown earned her the prestigious international Face Of Zikel 2023 title.

Her grace extended beyond appearance, displaying intellectual prowess during the pageantry’s sessions, solidifying her status as a true beauty queen.

At the 5th edition in Lagos, Zikel Cosmetics CEO Kelvin Ezike emphasized the pageant’s mission of empowering young women. 

Josephine, the deserving winner, received a new car, a Dubai trip, N500,000, and a year’s supply of Zikel products, contributing to her empowerment journey.

Ezike said: “As always, the pageantry is not just targeted at crowning beautiful ladies but more importantly empowering them to become self-reliant and financially empowered. 

This year’s theme is “Empowered to Lead”. The Face of Zikel is an empowerment scheme and a platform carved out to take young girls off the street and create employment for them.”
