The Official Craft-n-Go Distributor for New Zealand
The Face Paint Shop is the official and sole distributor of Craft-n-Go for Australia and New Zealand. If you are buying a genuine Craft-n-Go paint station in New Zealand, it comes through us.
A Craft-n-Go station is a hard case that opens into a complete face painting workstation, with an all-metal lid that holds your paints and supplies in place with magnets, and it sets up in under two minutes. The 28 inch station, the size our New Zealand customers buy most, stands on legs that adjust one by one for uneven ground at markets and school fields. The 36 inch XL adds two large storage trays underneath for a bigger kit, and the 22 inch Mini trades the legs for a travel case with wheels and a pull-up handle, sized as carry-on for a number of airlines.
Because we are the distributor, we also stock the spare parts and add-ons: wheel kits, leg clasps, front latches, keys and replacement legs, plus side trays, magnets, metal surfaces and backdrops. A broken clasp should not retire your station.

Stations marked Order In are built for you in the USA once paid, which can take several weeks. Need one by a set date? Email us before you order and we will give you an honest answer.
Professional Brands in One Parcel
Face painters, schools, kindergartens and families across New Zealand order from us for brands that can be hard to find in one place: TAG Body Art, Fusion Body Art, Diamond FX, Cameleon, Mehron and Grimas, plus Heart Face Art, our own brand, which you will not find anywhere else. Add stencils, brushes, sponges and cosmetic glitter to the same order.
For school galas and fairs, a few strong base colours and a set of stencils keep the queue moving. For All Blacks game days, stock up on black face paint and white face paint. Halloween falls on 31 October and delivery takes about a week, so browse our special effects makeup and the full Halloween range and order early.

A Practical Buyer Guide
A quick way to plan a New Zealand order so it arrives complete and in time for your event.
1. Plan One Complete Parcel
Postage to New Zealand is worked out by weight, so one well-planned order usually costs less to send than several small ones. List your colours, brushes, sponges and stencils before you check out.
2. Match the Kit to the Event
For a long gala or market queue, split cakes and stencils keep each face quick. For detailed party work, add fine round brushes and a couple of sponges for base coats.
3. Order Early for Halloween and Christmas
Australia Post estimates 4 to 7 business days for standard delivery to New Zealand, so order event supplies well ahead of the date. Read our shipping policy before you order.
How New Zealand Orders Work
Prices are shown in New Zealand dollars, and your order ships from Melbourne, Australia with Australia Post. You can choose standard or express delivery at checkout, where postage is calculated from your parcel's weight. Free shipping offers apply within Australia only.

A face painting kit is the simplest start, because the colours, brush and sponge arrive together in one parcel. If you would rather build your own, choose a white, a black and two or three bright colours, then add one sponge and one round brush.
