Glow Boldly

Join the Masterclass

Our Brand

Founded in 2014, Taos Beauty Brand grew into a recognised makeup brand in Nigeria and West Africa. We’re known for glow-forward products, creative campaigns, and a community that celebrates every shade.

Taos is where glam meets intention: bold femininity, elevated execution, and beauty that feels like confidence.

Our Founder

Vanessa Onwughalu founded Taos Beauty Brand in 2014. In 2023, she expanded into product design and UI/UX—bringing a sharper, more strategic lens to the next era of Taos.

#TaosBabeLiving

Events, campaigns, and community moments that show Taos beyond the product — the women, the wins, and the work.

Galentine’s Brunch

A soft, feminine moment for our community — good food, good girls, and even better glam.

Taos partnered with the Nigerian‑British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC) Women & Youth Entrepreneurship Development Initiative to support emerging entrepreneurs — including cosmetics artistry. Cohort 2 selected 180 entrepreneurs from 1,470+ applications with support from Union Bank’s Alpher program.

Brand Ambassadors

Taos Beauty Brand’s ambassadors embody our values of creativity and confidence. In 2020, we selected Oyinkansola Femi‑Oyewole and Orji Chinenye Precious as the faces of our brand. They describe the experience as “amazing” — because they felt their lives were transformed.
