Tina did an amazing job for my wedding! My hair and make up was better than I had imagined it and I felt both like myself and a more beautiful version that was picture perfect! The make up and hair style fit my ceremony outfit (I wore a modern hanbok) and my reception outfit (western white dress) - I was able to freely dance, cry, and have the time I wanted at my wedding! They also did an amazing job doing make up for our mother's and friends - subtle but again, picture perfect. Tina provided a clear schedule which allowed us to stay on time and be organized during the wedding morning. All in all, an amazing experience - thank you again! -

Tina from Shine Tina Makeup truly brought my wedding vision to life with her incredible artistry. She skillfully created the clean and elegant look I had dreamed of, leaving me feeling absolutely radiant on my special day. Her flexibility made the entire experience seamless, effortlessly adapting to some last-minute adjustments that arose. The hairstylist she collaborated with was equally fantastic, displaying immense creativity in crafting a hairstyle that flawlessly incorporated my Chinese hair accessories. Together, they curated a look that was not only unique but also timeless, exceeding my expectations.
Throughout the process, Tina and her team showcased exceptional service and dedication, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Their professionalism and attention to detail truly shone through, making me feel pampered and confident. Despite a minor hiccup in communication, which was quickly resolved, the overall experience was nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend Shine Tina Makeup for any bride seeking personalized and exquisite beauty services on their big day. Thank you, Tina, for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself! -

The makeup was done by Tina, with hair done by Linda. Shine Tina was absolutely amazing at their work and truly made all of us look gorgeous on my wedding day. Originally I wanted a half down hairstyle but finally decided on doing a bun based on their advice and the humidity from the rain, and it turned out to be the best decision ever! They made me look so elegant and it matches perfectly with my dress.
As someone who is acne prone with terrible skin, Tina was really able to "clean me up" and made me look so beautiful in person and in photos, even with my glasses! As an Asian person, it was important to me to have someone that could accent my features inside of going with a mold or template of generic makeup that would not suite me. And Tina delivered! She did such a great job on making my favorite features like my eyes pop with her talented work. And she did the makeup for my bridesmaid too, who was darker skin and Indian, and enhanced her natural beauty so much. I was worried about our moms since they didn't speak English well and were older, but Tina was so patient and made them look youthful but still themselves. At one glance, Tina can tell exactly what will suit you.
My makeup and hair stayed on so well, even when we took pictures in the rain. It only started moving at the end of the night when I was drenched in sweat from dancing, and even then you couldn't tell from further away.
She and Linda showed up professionally on time/slightly early and got the whole space set up in no time! They went straight to business and kept us on time throughout the whole morning. And when they were done, they packed up and left so fast when I was busy with meeting the photographer and videographer teams, with no trace that they had been there.
I had also used Tina a year ago for my engagement photos and while she did a great job then, this time was even better! I highly recommend using Tina and doing the trial which will make you feel more comfortable on your big day! If there's any future events where I would like to dress up, Tina is the person that I would use again! -

I highly recommend Tina and her team for your wedding hair/makeup needs. Tina was the most responsive vendor, always quick to respond to emails and answer questions. She came up with a schedule for hair/makeup for the bride, groom, 2 mothers, and maid of honor, as well as makeup for 5 bridesmaids and 1 touch-up for my dad. Tina and Linda did hair and makeup for everyone, except Lyndsey did makeup for my 5 bridesmaids. They all did an amazing job! I felt beautiful and confident on my wedding day. My makeup stayed all night and I had no issues when I shed a few tears. I was very happy with my hair too. Tina and Linda are so detail-oriented and listen to what you want as well. They did a great job with hair/makeup for the mother of the bride and groom, glamming them up in a classy and beautiful way. Linda somehow did an up-do with my mother-in-law's short hair, and it looked great! Lyndsey did a great job with my bridesmaids' makeup, keeping the vibe consistent but adjusting to each person's unique features. The whole team is efficient, professional, and kind. You won't regret hiring Shine Tina for your wedding! -

I had the most wonderful experience with Tina as my makeup artist for my wedding. Tina's talent and attention to detail made me feel absolutely beautiful on my special day. Tina's expertise in understanding different skin types and tones really shone through as she tailored the makeup perfectly to suit my entire look. She also did an amazing job with my engagement photos, as well as my husband's hair and makeup plus both my mom and my mother in law. I highly recommend Tina for any special occasion, as her expertise and warm personality made the entire experience a pleasure. Thank you, Tina, for making me feel so radiant and confident on my big day!
With heartfelt thanks,

I hired Tina for my destination wedding in Florida. I cannot recommend Tina enough!!! Her talent is undeniable (otherwise, I would NOT have flown her all the way out for our wedding). She has done my make up three times now and each time she impresses me more and more. As an Asian American women, I have never liked western make up on me - it did not suit my face & I thought that was just what I was stuck with! However, I came across Tina and I finally felt seen and beautiful. I could sense her expertise right away by the way she assessed my face and knew instantly the color palette that suit me. What sets Tina apart is her ability to skillfully blend k-beauty and western beauty standards to create a look that's uniquely suited to you - I have yet to find another artist who isn't just one or the other. She also shared a wealth of knowledge for me to "take home," so I was able to improve my every day make up routine - her services don't just end on the chair, you take it home with you for many years to come!
Additionally, my bridesmaids and mother in law all LOVED their make up and hair on wedding day. They are all different ethnicities with different facial structures and skin. All of them have also started to change their every day make up routine to replicate Tina's work.
Through Tina's artistry, I've come to realize that makeup isn't just about enhancing one's appearance... It's a powerful tool that can impact the way that you feel, your interactions with others, and ultimately the entire day. Thank you Tina and Linda for playing an integral role in making my day so special!!!! 🤍

Susan P. Sent on 01/09/2024Your dream wedding makeup and hair will come true
I am absolutely pleased with Tina and Linda on the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mothers, and for myself as the bride. I felt beautiful and confident on my day. My mothers and besties were all glamorous. Tina and Linda are personable and professional. They explained to me what they were doing, listened to my requests and comments, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Also, I am glad that I did the makeup and hair trial with them. All of us prepared for how it would be like on the wedding day. For me, how I wanted to look like. For them, how to obtain my desirable look without any loss of time on the day of. The wedding makeup trial definitely put all of us at ease and expectations met. On my wedding day, they arrived promptly and understood that I had to leave them at my suite as they continued their work on my mothers. Future brides who choose Shine, Tina, you will look gorgeous on your special day. -

Charissa A. Sent on 02/15/2024The best team for a custom bridal look
Tina and Linda were both absolutely wonderful for hair and makeup at my November wedding! I was looking for artists who could truly create a customized look for myself and my bridesmaids, and this team went above and beyond. I love how passionate Tina is about makeup — she'll chat with you about colors and undertones, facial structure, different makeup products or styles, and generally gets so excited for you to learn what works best for you.
The day of, Tina and Linda both asked each bridesmaid what they were comfortable with and what they were looking for — all of my bridesmaids who had their hair and makeup done separately commented to me that they loved their hair and makeup. The team was working on quite a short timeline, but was so calm and collected that what could have been a stressful morning ended up being a bit more relaxed and definitely fun. We were especially impressed that the hairstyles lasted the whole wedding day through dancing and everything!
If I could make a recommendation to anyone thinking about Shine, Tina! studio for their wedding, it would be to definitely do the hair/makeup trial in advance. It's objectively a little pricey, but so worth it. During the trial Tina and Linda discussed what styles I would want, tried out different products, and took into consideration any likes/dislikes and even skin sensitivities that I have. I was surprised at just how many details they remembered the day of!
Lastly, I would say my favorite thing about working with this team is that they will offer their professional recommendations if you need, but they're also so dedicated to creating a look that you love. When I brought up questions about things that I wasn't sure would work well, they would show me different options and explain their reasoning but leave the decision totally up to me. There was no pressure to go with anything other than what I liked the most. If I ever need hair and makeup done for anything, I would one hundred percent come back to this team! -

Tina and her team were absolutely amazing on my wedding day (and the trial!). Tina just knew exactly what I meant when I explained the type of hair style and make up I wanted - even when I probably wasn’t even explaining it very well!! She also completely nailed my mom’s make up too. She was so fun to have around getting ready too - would recommend to every bride!! -

Tina and her team's work is an absolute dream! Every Asian-American bride has a horror story from their childhood about a makeup look gone wrong (mine was prom), and I first found Tina via social media after looking for a hair/makeup artist who specializes in Asian features. Tina and her team went above and beyond in their delivery, not only with my bridal hair and makeup but that of the entire bridal party, the rest of whom are not of Asian descent. They were so engaging to work with and also incredibly flexible - when one of my bridesmaids dropped out due to a conflict, I was able to convert what we would have spent on her hair/makeup into bridal assistance service where Tina and her team touched up my hair/makeup even after first look photos so I looked my best for the ceremony. Our family members and friends could not stop talking about how great their work was on myself, the bridesmaids, and the mothers of the bride/groom and I can't recommend Tina and her team enough! -

Connie Sent on 11/30/2023THE BEST hair & makeup artist!
I first connected with Tina and her phenomenal team as a bridesmaid in a DC wedding – their artistry left a lasting impression. Fast forward to our engagement photoshoot, and choosing Tina for our hair and makeup was a no-brainer. The bride and groom package was beyond words, and I found myself regretting not having Tina with us for our destination wedding in Italy.
Communicating with Tina's studio was a dream – clear, efficient, and accommodating. Every instruction was not only heard but flawlessly executed. The makeup was so stunning that I didn't want to part with it, even as we headed out for a celebratory dinner post-photoshoot. Tina, you're not just a makeup artist; you're a memory maker. Thank you for making every moment special and ensuring the magic lasted long after the photoshoot. 💄💖 -

HIGHLY recommend
Tina and her team are incredible, and I recommend her and her team with full confidence. Because of availability, we had Lyndsey perform our hair & makeup day of, and she was just the absolute best! I only have good things to say about Tina and Lyndsey, but here are some specifics of why I recommend them so highly:
- Incredible eye. Their color matching and ability to flatter features is unmatched. I was blown away! They treat makeup and hair as a true art, and it shows in the quality of their work.
- Very open to feedback. Everyone has preferences, and they were open to feedback and incorporated it so well, without any judgement. This is huge and I appreciated this so much. They are just lovely people inside and out, and want you to feel your best the day of, which was wonderful.
- Flexible and very good communicators. I was able to schedule and adjust as needed very quickly and easily.
Lyndsey was absolutely incredible with everything. That said, I had a wonderful experience with the trial (Tina and Lyndsey were both present) which I think helped hone my preferences so I highly recommend that. I also scheduled a brow session as well (Tina is a brow queen) a couple days before my wedding and loved it all!
10/10, highly recommend! -

Xeniya B. Sent on 11/29/202310/10 would recommend Shine, Tina!
I had the most magical experience working with “Shine, Tina!” (Tina and Linda). They went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect, not only for me but for my entire bridal party. From the first phone call, I knew I was in the right hands with Tina. Her years of experience in the industry and vast knowledge of event planning were evident as she guided me through the process. She sent me a questionnaire, asked for my vision, and even reviewed inspiration photos to get a clear understanding of my desired look.
The trial with Tina and Linda only confirmed I made the right choice. It was clear they were true artists, knowing exactly where and what to apply to create a look that was both symmetrical and stunning. They even managed to transform my fine hair into a beautiful hairstyle . Throughout the process, they provided invaluable advice for my big day, and I quickly felt comfortable with them, as though we were friends.
On the wedding day, Tina and Linda arrived not just on time but professionally early. In just 10 minutes they transformed the entire suite into a studio with dedicated makeup and hair stations. Tina's claim of being a one-stop shop was no joke; she brought absolutely everything needed to set up the stations efficiently and maximize the available space.
Everyone on the wedding party was in love with their makeup and hair, and mentioned many times about their experience with Tina and Linda and how much they loved it. Despite the scorching 98F temperature during the ceremony, my makeup and hair did not budge and stayed put the entire night.
I cannot thank Tina and Linda enough for their expertise and professionalism. They made me feel like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for the best in the business. They are truly the best at what they do, and you will not regret working with them. -

expensive but worth it
I got my wedding hair and makeup done at Shine, Tina this year. I wanted someone who could do more Korean-style makeup. Lynsey did an amazing job making me feel beautiful. I also booked my mom's hair+makeup and three bridesmaids' makeup. I would recommend booking your service with the Shine, Tina team. -
