A bit about me.
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa,
I am Karen a Creative & Mature Professional,
I have been face painting since 2012 after completing professional training at WelTec as a Makeup & SPFX Artist.
Having a broad creative skill set has allowed me to work with a wide range of creatives on events from Wellington Fashion Week
Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School and
Independent Short Films
Supplying face painting services to
Te Papa, The Royal New Zealand Ballet, Fab Faces and BodyFX to name a few.
Tu Meke Face Painting re-launched in
Gisborne in 2023 after it went flop during the lockdowns and continues to develop
with more to come. We know the saying "When life gives you lemons - make lemonade!"
Have a look through the Gallery on my web site or Instagram and FB which also has fun Reels to watch. Should you like what you see,
please, show your support with a booking and a
Like & Follow on my socials.
Thank you for taking the time to be here

Tu Meke!
Sometimes painting one's own face isn't as easy as painting someone else's...
