Karen was my make up artist for my wedding last Sat 3rd Dec, I cannot recommend Karen enough. Her professionalism, her kindness, her talent makes Karen for me the number one choice of make up artist for brides. Since I booked her in Jan 2016 she was so prompt in her responses to my enquries, extremely helpful and for my trail I was so pleased with her work that on the morning of my wedding I just knew she would make me look flawless. My bridesmaids and my mother could not say enough good things about Karen. Even my mother, who was opposed to getting her make up done, is now asking can Karen "do her up again" for the next wedding! Karen was so helpful in our house on the morning and kept us all calm, she stayed with me touching up my make up until I was getting in the car to go to the church. I will be returning to Karen for any occassion make up I need done as for me she is without doubt at the top of her game.

I booked Karen for my wedding at the start of November and I couldn't be happier. Karen is amazing at her job, so professional and made everyone feel so at ease on the morning of the wedding. I do not wear make up all the time and so was quite worried about my wedding make up, but I shouldn't have been as it was second to none. Everyone looked FAB! My make up was flawless and so was the bridesmaids and my Mothers. I'd highly recommend Karen to any brides to be!!

From the very first minute I opened Karen's website I got a warm feeling and that feeling continued with every interaction and each time with Karen has been as good as the last. She is a genius at what she does and does it with pure class. She made me feel welcome from the first interaction we had and made my whole family and bridal party feel the same. Her professionalism and manniersim is something to be desired and she is one of the great memories that stand out from my day. Karen also had a sense of calm over the whole day and that again started from the minute I met her so I knew I had choosen well. Karen had a whole 7 faces to do on the day, all with their own personalities but she gelled with them all and made them all feel relaxed and made us all feel very special. Her makeup on all of us was flawless and she done exactly what we all wanted. I fell in love with her makeup and wanted to look that flawless everyday. She made me feel like a million dollars and I never had to worry about it the whole day.

I booked Karen for my wedding in September of this year. Karen is the best make up artist I have ever dealt with. Karen has a fantastic reputation so I was thrilled when she confirmed she was available for my wedding date. From start to finish Karen was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Karen provided excellent skin care advice in the lead up to my wedding. She has a great eye for detail and instantly knows what looks will or won't work. On the morning of the wedding, Karen's talent, professionalism and easy going nature put everyone at ease and she fit in brilliantly with everyone at the house. Our make up was stunning and flawless and most importantly it lasted all day and all night long. Thank you so very much Karen for making me look and feel so beautiful on my big day. I would highly recommend you to any bride to be. Top class!!

Karen is brilliant at what she does. She's very hard working and helpful. I knew from the minute I did the trial with Karen that she was the MUA for me. I've never felt more like myself when my makeup is done by somebody else, than I did when Karen did it for me. I didn't even trial anybody else. I was so happy and comfortable in myself on the wedding day with my look. She even managed to relax my mother and her and my bridesmaids looked fab and were absolutely delighted too. We didn't worry about the makeup moving all day - it lasted so perfectly! Karen was so good with advice and didn't mind helping out with anything - including putting my shoes on for me. I can honestly say that I would recommend Karen to anybody. She did exactly what I asked for but made it look so much better than I imagined.

Every bride dreams of looking beautiful on their wedding day and they just want to be perfect!! Karen is definitely the makeup artist to fulfil your dream.
I had booked Karen two years in advance , to make sure I wouldn't be disappointed. I remember arriving down to Karen's for my bridal trial and I was feeling so overwhelmed with everything , but Karen really reassured me that day!
And on the morning of my wedding , I felt so relaxed , because Karen was there for me , she is so professionally and brings this calmness with her . She just is so experienced and gives that bit extra touch, so everything is perfect and you just feel so beautiful .
Thank you for making my dream come true !

Karen gave my bridal party and myself great confidence on my wedding morning! Her presence and manner helped us all to relax and take it all in! Karen really listened and took on board the look I wanted to feel comfortable and look like myself on the day. I loved my natural look as requested! My Mother hardly ever wears makeup and we were a little apprehensive coming up to the day as to how she would take to her new look. She was glowing and delighted with herself! We all got so many compliments all day. Karen went beyond her role to assist us on the morning to help speed things up when it got a little hectic. Karen is truly professional and a lovely person whom I only got to know from my trial and pampering leading up to the wedding, yet I feel like I've known her for years! She will have continued custom from me and I recommend her to anyone!

Karen was amazing and relaxed all of us. She brought more than just her excellent skills. She made sure everyone was happy and made sure I was her top priority! My bridesmaids were especially impressed. When my driver didn't turn up, Karen who was on her way out, turned around gave all them a pep talk and calmed them down so they wouldn't freak me out. She then came back with one of them to tell me! Even offering to drive me to the church! She is an experienced talented professional, who only adds to your day! I picked Karen because all her brides look like themselves and not like carbon copies of other brides! She is very accommodating and doesnt mind if you tell her you dont like certain things, all my bridesmaids and most importantly my mother loved their make up! I would have no problem recommending her to any future brides

Any one who has their make up done by Karen, are sure not to be disappointed and I could not recommend her enough. I booked Karen more a year in advance, I had to make sure I wasn't going to miss out. I had Karen do my make up for friends a wedding in June 15 ( I already had Karen booked in at that stage for my wedding) and I knew I had made the right choice, when I walked out of her salon that day. My makeup was flawless and I loved everything about it.
For my wedding makeup trial, Karen was awsome, she listened to what I wanted and didn't want and told me what she recommended. Karen made me feel so relaxed during that time, She was very patient and listened to any concerns that I had.
On the day of the wedding, Karen arrived early, so no stress there. As Karen did my makeup that morning, we chatted and she made feel so relaxed, all my bridesmaids were delighted with there makeup and they all looked stunning, my mum also had her makeup done and she looked incredible and she knew it that day to.
There was five of us getting our makeup done that morning and Karen was so efficient, there was no rushing around, it was all very calm and she finished with time to spare for a million photos, Every single one of us were delighted with every element of our makeup it was perfectection. Thanks to Karen we all had so much confidence as we walked down that aisle at half one on the 15 of July 2016.
Thank you so much Karen xx

Hi Emma, This is so lovely. It was such a joy to get to know you in the lead up to your wedding day. I remember the first time you came to me for a make up a year in advance and you were telling me all the plans and about your stunning wedding dress, I was so looking forward to being apart of it all from that day. On your wedding day you absolutely shone with beauty and happiness and this is clear to see from your photographs. It means the world to read such lovely words and I am so thankful to you for this.

I really have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day and that is all thanks to Karen and her amazing talent! She was such a joy to be around the morning of and I so appreciated her help getting into my dress. The makeup lasted all day through happy tears and lots of hugs. Looking at the photos, I feel like I'm looking at the best version of myself.
My wedding was a destination affair (US to Ireland) which was a bit of a leap of faith since we didn't have a trial together but Karen's communication beforehand and the on the day was spot on. She has tremendous communication skills which was so helpful in discussing what I was looking for. On the big day, she worked seamlessly with the hair professional and her timing was spot on. I did not feel rushed at all. It made for a perfectly relaxing morning which I believe is the sign of a true professional. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with her.

Karen was extremely professional and yet laid back which is what every bride needs! I really enjoyed chatting to Karen each time I visited her studio;for tan and for my make up trial. Having just got married recently, she was full of helpful tips for the day. On the wedding day itself, Karen was so cheerful and chatty, and she was full of excitement and well wishes for us. My Mam looked so glamorous and my bridesmaids were beautiful. My make up was perfect. Through a day of mixed weather, tears of joy, kisses, hugs and mighty dancing ? my make up stayed in place!

I've worked with Karen on many occasions before doing jewellery photoshoots and her professionalism and talent always shone through so when the time came for me to choose a make up artist for my wedding day, I only had to make one phone call (many many months in advance as I knew she would be in demand!) I knew very little about make up however Karen was able to use her knowledge and experience to get the perfect foundation for my Irish skintone and gave me really helpful tips and advice for the day. She also applied the makeup for my mother and sister and did an excellent job. Karen's name precedes her and it's easy to see why. Rita x

I would highly recommend Karen to any bride. Karen was amazing both in the lead up to and the morning of the wedding. Karen went above and beyond her role with hints and tips to maintain my skin six months prior to the wedding, as a result my skin was glowing on the day. She was a pleasure to deal with and made us all feel very relaxed the morning of the wedding. Karen is so professional and such a talented make up artist, my make up on the day was stunning I loved it as did my bridal party. Karen was very helpful on the morning, after the makeup she dressed the flower girls and helped keep us all relaxed. I could not speak more highly of Karen if your looking for a bridal makeup artist.

From the very start Karen was a treasure to have involved in the lead up and the day of my wedding, In the lead up to the big day I found Karen very responsive to any email queries I had, she was an absolute pleasure to deal with, on the big day she arrived on time and in great spirits, she was able to advise me of the madness that was about to take place as the videographer and photographers arrived but always reassuring me to breath, We all felt so comfortable with Karen, my makeup was flawless all day and I received numerous comments from old friends who saw pics on social media to say I looked just like myself which was exactly what I was going for.

Hi Michelle, thank you so much for this lovely review. It is hard to imagine that you are nearing your 2nd wedding anniversary, time is flying by. I can still remember the lovely warm welcome I received into your family home that day, your Mam beaming with excitement greeted me at my car with a warm embrace in her festive santa hat, I knew I was in for such a lovely morning with you all. It was the perfect Christmas wedding and you were a beautiful bride. Thank you once again for taking the time to add this review, Wishing you all the best for the future. Warmest regards, Karen xx

Karen was so amazing on our wedding day!! Not only is she so good at what she does but she was such a calming influence on the morning of my wedding when my nerves were at an all time high. She exceeded all of my expectations. All of my bridal party were so happy with their make up. She catered for everyone and was so professional and friendly!

Words can not express the talent of Karen Maher. Firstly Karen is such a friendly genuine lady who from the minute I met her in her salon made me feel very comfortable and immediately saw the vision I wanted for my wedding day makeup. The months leading up to my wedding we were always in contact over ideas which really helped and on the day of my wedding Karen brought the calm between the usual nerves. She was so professional not only with me but my wedding party spoke so highly of her. Karen made me feel like a million dollars and I got so many compliments and to top it off the look lasted all day and night. I'd go back to Karen in a heartbeat she is definitely the most talented makeup artist I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

Hi Maruna, This was just so lovely to meet. I can still remember your stunning wedding down in Mount Juliet. Such a perfect venue, and you had the loveliest details to match the picturesque setting. We all had such good fun that morning, I really felt like part of the family. It means the world to read such sweet and kind words even after the years have passed. I wish you all the best for the coming months and in the future, warm regards, Karen xx

I was extremely lucky to have my make up and my bridal party's make up done by Karen on the morning of my wedding. I got married abroad and even with the heat our make up was perfect and did not budge for the whole day. Karen did a fabulous job and we received so many compliments throughout the day. Karen is extremely talented and I would highly recommend her as a make up artist.

Absolutely loved my make up the day of my wedding. Karen was so professional and helpful. I had used Karen on many occasions before and I just knew she had to do my wedding day make up. She was so ralaxed and friendly that made the morning run like a breeze and kept all the nerves away.

Karen was amazing from the moment I first got in contact with her. She knew exactly what I wanted and she was able to deliver. On the day of my wedding she was brilliant, not only with my makeup, my bridesmaids and my mother's but also helped out in lots of ways.....she was there until I left the house. The makeup was amazing and so many people commented on how well it was done and lasting! I didn't need a touch up all day and lasted well into the wee hours of the morning. I couldn't recommend this lady highly enough, amazing! I loved having her as part of our special day.

I hope 2017 is a good year for you all. Love Karen xx

I have been very lucky to have Karen as my make up artist twice, for my own wedding and the wedding of my sister in law. For my own wedding karen was super. I have had some acne and skin issues over the years and Karen made me feel so at ease on the run up to the wedding and on the day made me feel and look amazing. The make up was perfect and lasted well into the wee hours of Saturday morning. Not only that but my bridesmaids and my mother were all made up to perfection. Karen has truly a goft in make up, and along with her good nature, caring and gentle personality she was a pleasure to have around the house for the morning of the wedding.

You really shone as a beautiful bride and I can still remember your stunning dress and your beaming smile.
