Luxury Destination Bridal Hair & Makeup Artist - Founder KSM Makeup
From a young age, Karen Martínez was drawn to the world of beauty, but it wasn’t until 2011 that she made the bold decision to leave her dentistry career and pursue her true calling: luxury makeup and hair artistry.

Having lived in four countries, Karen brings an inclusive, multicultural perspective to her artistry. Her career includes working with prestigious brands like L’Oréal, Lancôme, YSL, and Dior, and training under icons such as Mario Dedivanovic, Rubén Zamora, and Jordan Liberty.
Today, Karen is a sought-after destination wedding artist, known for her radiant, sophisticated style and calm, professional presence. Her work is a reflection of her passion, precision, and signature touch of ethereal elegance, always delivered with a smile.
