TECNO Partners with Edgars for Special Effects Makeup Challenge

Innovative, AI-centric, technology brand TECNO is looking to recognise and celebrate makeup maestros through its latest social media competition.

In partnership with retail partner Edgars, TECNO’s Special Effects (sfx) Makeup Challenge is now live until 14 July 2025.

If you make magic with makeup, then be sure not to miss out. But be warned, these are no ordinary makeup looks that will make the cut.

Special effects makeup (also known as sfx makeup) is a specialised form of makeup used in film, television, theatre, and other visual media to create realistic or fantastical physical transformations of a person’s appearance.

Standout looks are being sought, something that is different from the looks achieved by using standard beauty makeup. Showcase your boldest and most striking special effects makeup look inspired by the unapologetic energy and design of TECNO and Edgars.Bring out the drama, the colour, and the creativity!

Prizes for the winners include a TECNO SPARK 20 smartphone, a R5,000 Edgars voucher, a TECNO hamper, and more.

To enter the TECNO sfx Makeup Challenge, post your look on your Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or Twitter account; be sure to tag @tecnosouthafrica, @edgarsfashion, @edgarsconnect, and @edgarsbeauty; and use the hashtags #TECNOsfxChallenge and #TECNOxEdgarsRedCarpet. Competition closes on 14 July 2025.
