Josephine’s overall appearance deemed her a deserving winner at the international pageantry, captivating audiences with her exquisitely styled ponytail, flawlessly applied makeup that accentuated her facial features, and a stunning beaded off-shoulder gown that showcased not only her neck and shoulders but also her impeccable body shape. From head to toe, beyond her physical allure, Josephine showcased her intellectual prowess during various segments of the pageantry, confidently answering questions and solidifying her status as a true beauty queen both inside and out.
The 5th edition of Face Of Zikel, held in Lagos, was not merely about crowning beautiful ladies but, more importantly, empowering them for self-reliance and financial independence. Kelvin Ezike, the Chief Executive Officer of Zikel Cosmetics International, emphasized the pageant’s mission with the theme “Empowered to Lead.”
In his statement, Ezike stated, “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.” This commitment to empowerment was reflected in the prizes awarded to Josephine, including a brand new car, a luxurious trip to Dubai, a cash prize of N500,000, and a one-year supply of Zikel products.
Josephine Ishola’s poised ponytail, refined makeup, and elegant gown not only clinched her the prestigious international title but also symbolized the embodiment of empowerment and leadership. As she embarks on her journey as the Face Of Zikel 2023, Josephine stands as a beacon of inspiration for young women, exemplifying beauty, intellect, and empowerment.
