Karen Maher is a professional make up artist based in Kilkenny. She has over 13 years experience. One of the lost laid back, relaxed brides I've ever met.

My journey as a make up artist began over 13 years ago after I completed my training in the International make up academy. I have a keen eye for colour, and I pride myself in Beautiful bride @moloneyannmarie on her wedding day in January. It was a privilege to be a part of your wedding morning.

I received these Kind words recently from my beautiful April bride, Giollaíosa.

“Karen is an exceptional make-up artist. She made the wedding morning so relaxed with her professional manner. I absolutely loved my wedding make-up and she had my bridal party looking their absolute best. Our make-up lasted the whole day, which is a testament to her talent.”

Thank you, Giollaíosa, for trusting me to be part of such a special day. 💖

My first bride of the year back in January, beautiful Megan. Flawless, glowing skin, beautifully defined eyes, and timeless elegance. This stunning bride was the perfect way to begin my year of 2026, pure bridal magic.

Winter bride Edel ✨

I loved creating this gorgeous make up look, my favourite style. Glowing,natural, dewy skin, stand out eyes, and most importantly still completely herself. With the warmest smile and the calmest presence on such a special morning.

Thank you so much Edel for taking the time to send me such a kind email only a few days later. It really made my day.

“Karen, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for making myself and the girls feel so beautiful on my wedding day. You were such a calming and positive presence on the morning. Your work was incredible and you played a huge part in making the day so special. I loved my makeup and felt amazing all day.” Edel xx

A quick message to reflect back on another busy year for my business. Thank you to every single person who sat in my makeup chair this year. I’m so lucky to have the most fabulous clients. The warmth, craic and friendships that have been developed over the years as you sit in my chair for the glam. So grateful every day to do what I do.

To my beautiful 2025 brides, thank you for welcoming me into your homes and trusting me to be part of such a special moment in your lives. It is truly an honour I never take for granted. ❤️

Looking forward to seeing what the new year will bring, I am excited to meet and get to know my 2026 brides.

Looking back on the year a stand out highlight would have to be winning make up artist of the year in February. Such a huge honour ✨

Happy New Year, hope this year brings you peace, love & happiness , love Karen ❤️xx

Such lovely memories of a morning filled with love, laughter and togetherness in .
Two beautiful brides Laura & Anna who chose to stay side by side as they got ready for their wedding day, soaking up every moment. Matching jammies, shared moments of laughter, one calm joy filled morning.

One stand out memory was when they popped upstairs together in jammies and then the magical moment when they returned back down smiles beaming both in beautiful wedding dresses, glowing with excitement. These are the moments I love most. ✨
