About Us

MIMICRY NZ

Mimicry NZ is my creation but it wouldn't be possible without my amazing extended family of independent theatrical makeup artists that are passionate about creating the perfect look for every performance. We come together as a team for several productions per year both Compensated and Volunteer. Our commitment

to the craft and professionalism have earned us the reputation of being one of the most reliable and creative makeup teams in the New Zealand theatre industry.

 

We specialize in all aspects of makeup, from traditional theatre makeup to speciality and special effects makeup. Our members are always up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques, ensuring that we can deliver the perfect look for every performance, nothing less.

​

Let us know if we can help you with your next Production, Project, or cosplay!

The Team

Meet Our Amazing Family!

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently."
