I had the most wonderful experience with Tina for my wedding makeup and hair. Tina was meticulous with picking products that suited my features and I could not be more grateful because I didn't have to say much for us to get to where I wanted to be. Linda was also amazing with the hair and it could not have turned out more beautiful. Both are so professional and the day could not have happened without these ladies' help. Thank you Tina and Linda!

Tina, Linda, and Heather were beyond talented and professional. Tina has this magic ability to look at someone’s face and know exactly how to enhance all of their features. I personally sought out Tina for her well-documented expertise with East Asian features (particularly monolids), and she 100% delivered.

Moreover, I was so impressed with her range - her team worked on my multicultural bridal party and every single person was THRILLED with the outcome. My bridesmaid with incredibly curly hair raved about her look just as much as me and my pin-straight hair did. My mom and MIL were awestruck at how young and natural they ended up looking. No matter your background, age, or any concern you may have, I’m convinced that Tina’s team can achieve your vision.

Overall, Tina is communicative, efficient, and incredibly reliable. I trusted Tina with my life and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Tina and Linda are absolutely amazing! All the bridesmaids had their hair/ makeup done and I had my hair and makeup done day of. Everyone was extremely happy with the outcome. My makeup lasted the whole night as well as my hair! Tina and Linda really took their time and made sure we were happy and satisfied with the result. I even did the trial which helped me decide what I did and did not want. Would recommend to everyone!! 🤍

They came extra early in the morning and were very calm throughout the morning. It really helped set the tone for the rest of the day.

Tina and Linda were incredible! I was looking for a makeup artist familiar with East Asian features and from the first trial I felt so comfortable and at ease that I was in good hands with her. I had so many questions and adjustments up to the day of the wedding and she was always so responsive and helpful. I really appreciated how she explains her process and checks in with you on your preferences, every step of the way. I absolutely loved how the final look turned out and it held up so beautifully through all the dancing and partying.

We had hair and makeup for myself, 7 bridesmaids, and 2 Moms and they moved through the day so smoothly. Everyone looked so beautiful and glammed up, but still like themselves. She is very organized, efficient, but still connected with each individual woman to understand their needs. Starting our morning with Tina and Linda just set such a lovely and relaxed tone for the rest of the day.

I highly recommend Tina's services and we are all so collectively grateful for her team being a big part of what made our day so special!

Heather and Tina did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for my wedding! From my first correspondence with Tina, she was incredibly responsive and helpful. Tina was my point of contact and makeup coordinator and provided expert guidance and Heather did my hair and makeup at the trial / wedding. At my hair and makeup trial, I was super impressed with Heather and Tina’s attention to detail and the amount of extra time Heather spent to make sure every detail was absolutely perfect. Heather and Tina truly cared about my personal style and what I was looking for. I was so pleased with the end result at the wedding and me, my bridesmaids, mother and mother in law were raving about how we had never looked better!

Tina did a *stellar* job with my wedding makeup. I looked great, and Tina achieved the look I was going for (extremely natural and soft, yet finished-looking and photogenic). Different friends and family members remarked how they would overhear people talking about how beautiful I looked over the course of the wedding day :-)

I first got to know Tina’s vibe during the trial. You could tell she was very interested in makeup and thoughtful about what would work for different kinds of people and circumstances. When I asked her questions, she was able to articulate her approach and different decisions she makes in a way that clearly demonstrates her experience, expertise, and love for her craft. As a result, I felt very comfortable with her on the actual wedding day.

On the day of, Tina did the makeup and Linda did the hair. They both showed great versatility working on people of different ages, skin tones, and genders. I looked very natural, well-blended, finished, and “pretty,” the bridesmaid makeup was on point, and the moms looked great and felt good about themselves. And my husband, who is not normally a makeup wearer (!), especially appreciated how Tina was able to improve his complexion and accent his facial features for the day’s photographs without leaving him looking like he was wearing makeup.

We received our complete set of wedding pictures from the photographer and I photographed well in all the photos. The makeup lasted throughout the day such that I still looked great in all the selfies and personal pics I took with folks as the night continued. I continued to look good both in person and in pictures.

On the day of the wedding Tina and Linda were prompt and well-prepared. They kept a calm vibe as they efficiently did the hair and makeup. Tina did a great job of balancing and minding the timeline so that all the folks were finished when they needed to be. And Linda had a really nice way of engaging with the moms so that they felt comfortable.

To summarize, I highly recommend Tina and her team. She is professional, aesthetic, and fun (I liked her vibe!). I felt very comfortable in her hands, and had confidence in her that she would accomplish what I wanted. At the end of the day, I looked fantastic and everyone looked like an elevated, best version of themselves!

I found Tina through seeing she was the go-to makeup artist for many Asian brides in the DMV. After working with her, I can see why! I hired Tina for bridal hair/makeup, mother and mother-in-law hair/makeup, and groom’s hair.

From our initial email, she was incredibly prompt with communication. I first knew that I had really hired the right person during my hair/makeup trial. I remember watching myself in the mirror and my jaw dropping several times after she applied one flick of product to my face, amazed at how she instantly made my natural features shine. I honestly have some of the same products she used but to much different effect in my own hand. She is incredibly attentive to detail which really gelled well with my perfectionist tendencies. For example, she took the time to meticulously curl each of my baby hairs so that they would fall in the exact right spot. I was actually awed to meet someone who had such a careful eye. She read my features well and knew exactly how to enhance it - e.g. noting that the space between my eye and eyebrow was a little wide and correcting that. That kind of knowledge was exactly what I had hoped for in a makeup artist. In fact, she did such an incredible job with my eyebrows, that I opted to pay extra for a dedicated brow session so we wouldn’t have to spend so much time on the wedding day. Honestly… I think - I think she changed my life, showing me the shape that really works for my face. It was well worth the extra money.

I will say the wedding day felt a little rushed. This was no fault of Tina’s as my people were running behind. So thank goodness we had done a trial so that there was no need for fine-tuning as she already knew what I wanted and what looked best. But it did make me nervous that my hair/makeup wouldn’t turn out as well as the trial. However, it came out beautifully and the mothers and groom as well.

In the end, I felt beautiful all day and despite crying heavy tears and my hair being whipped around in arctic wind, my hair and makeup still looked flawless at the end of the night. I wish I could have Tina do my makeup everyday. She is an incredible artist!

Shine Tina is a highly sought after makeup artist in my community and I was lucky to be able to book her for my wedding make up and hair in June 2025, as well as for my engagement photoshoot hair. There were 8 other people in my wedding party and Tina and her team were able to masterfully orchestrate all the hair and makeup. She was personable, considerate, and very sensitive to the personal vision I had. It was clear how much she cared by her careful curation of colors and materials for the event. I loved how she made me feel and look like the best version of myself!

Tina, you are so, so talented. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making my mom feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She truly took years off my mom while still honoring her age so gracefully, and seeing her feel so confident and radiant meant everything to me. Tina and Linda, thank you both endlessly. Hiring you was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

I booked Tina for both my Vietnamese tea ceremony and wedding day, and I am beyond grateful I did. Tina truly understands her brides. She listened carefully to what I wanted and created a personalized look using a mixed Thai and Korean makeup style that perfectly suited my features and face. It felt like the best, most elevated version of me. Beyond her incredible skill, she felt like a friend and a therapist, bringing calm, reassurance, and warmth on a morning that could have been stressful with the rain.

It ended up pouring on my wedding day, but not even rain or tears of joy could touch the makeup, it stayed flawless through everything. Linda, the hair stylist, was also AMAZING and perfectly executed the exact style I was looking for. These ladies are true professionals.

Tina is beautiful inside and out, with truly exceptional character, and it shows in her work. I will forever recommend her and her phenomenal team. 100% worth every penny.

Best Asian makeup artist in the DMV. You will not regret booking her.

Tina and her team were truly the best. They are extremely professional, very talented and skilled, and well worth every $ spent.
