+ About Us

🎨 Welcome to Making Faces NZ

At Making Faces NZ, we create unforgettable moments where creativity meets wonder. Founded in Wellington by mum-of-three Tina—whose children became her earliest (and most wiggly) canvases—this business blossomed from playful beginnings into a vibrant team of artists and entertainers who share a deep love for colour, sparkle, and joy.

From face painting to full-blown party magic, we’re passionate about transforming ordinary events into extraordinary experiences. In 2017, Tina trained professionally in face painting, sharpening her craft and igniting a vision that became Making Faces NZ.

✨ Our entertainment includes:

  • Professional Face Painting with safe, high-quality paints and eco-friendly glitter
  • Giant Bubble Shows that mesmerize kids and grown-ups alike
  • Party Characters who bring stories to life
  • Interactive Games to keep the fun flowing
  • Balloon Twisting with whimsical creations
  • Temporary Tattoos for a cool, creative twist
  • And more magical surprises tailored to your event

Whether we’re painting a superhero, twisting a balloon unicorn, or making bubbles dance, our favourite moment is always the big reveal—watching eyes light up in pure delight.

Thank you for supporting a local business filled with heart and imagination.

With love from the Making Faces NZ crew: Tina, Jemma, Harley, Christina, Rafa, Jen, Vega, Anja, Helen, Rylee, Cate, Jess, Lara, Ashlyn & Jaymie
