Susan 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. -

Highly Recommended Make-up Artist
I couldn’t have picked a better make-up artist for my special day! I highly recommend Tina for so many reasons — professional, talented, prompt, flexible, efficient and easy-going. From day one, she was always available via email to answer any questions I had about my wedding makeup. Her responses were prompt and her plethora of excel spreadsheets showcased her detail orientedness. Although we made last minute changes to our day of wedding schedule a few times that impacted the makeup schedule, Tina was responsive and accommodating of the situation despite it happening the week of the wedding. She listened to my wants/needs and made me look and feel my best! During our make-up trial, she proactively asked me if I preferred warm versus cold tones before beginning our trial session. After patiently listening to all my preferences, she found the best tones for the natural look I was going for. Most importantly, she was able to do makeup for myself, both mothers, aunts, flower girl and sisters with time to spare, nailing both the natural and smokey look, while highlighting our best features. -

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! -

Tina is a true professional. I have worked with her on two different occasions, and she consistently performs over and beyond. She is very punctual and detail oriented (in preparation and in regards to listening to what you want). Thank you Tina! -

10/10 Amazing!
Where do I even begin? Tina and her team were an absolute dream from start to finish. Every single member of my bridal party was delighted with their hair and makeup. Tina arrived early, delicately kept us on schedule, and provided expert suggestions when needed. I would not hesitate to book Tina again in the future (and I'm not alone - several of my bridesmaids have already started brainstorming future sessions with Tina down the road)! Brides, look no further for your special day! -

Jihye Sent on 06/29/2022I cannot recommend Shine Tina enough!!
From our initial emails, the trial, and to the wedding day, Tina has been so kind, professional, and helpful. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup so I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted or needed. Thankfully, Tina knew what would look good on me. She made suggestions and encouraged me to speak my mind freely, which I'm sometimes too shy to do. She really listened to me to make sure I not only looked my best, but felt my best too. From looking at her Instagram and learning about her experience, I knew I could trust her fully. She is also so personable! She made me, my bridesmaids, and moms laugh and feel so comfortable around her. She is fluent in Korean, which was great for my mothers who don't speak English very well. My hair and makeup looked great and stayed looking great even after my many tears and the crazy wind. If hair and makeup is important to you, hire Shine Tina! -

Natural Soft Glam Beauty
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,

Jules Sent on 08/21/2024Picture Perfect!
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! -

Rachel Sent on 12/02/2023Best choice for my big day
I used Shine, Tina's service for my wedding and it was one of the best choices I made! Booking process and communication was great. Tina was very timely and clear with her email responses, which I value so much in wedding planning. I think it was also helpful to do trial consultation prior to the wedding. It was a good chance for me to clearly communicate what I wanted for my hair and makeup as well as the makeup artists to get to know my skin complexion and hair style before the big day. On the wedding day, my mom, mother in law, a bridesmaid, I got hair and makeup. All of us really loved and appreciated the services we received. I would say that the makeup and hair stayed intact throughout the entire wedding ~ about 8 hours. While the price of the service is somewhat on the higher end, I'd still recommend Tina and Tina's team for the big day!! -

Worth the investment!
Though pricing is higher than most vendors, we were very glad to have hired Tina and her team! Tina and Linda made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I especially felt like a princess, and neither my makeup nor hair budged at all the entire day (almost 12 hours)! With this being said, I am extremely thankful I invested in a hair and makeup trial beforehand.
Tina is incredibly skilled with her makeup work. With quick, analytic eyes, she is able to personalize all parts of the makeup to suit your face in real time, with little trial and error. Although I was happy overall with the trial, there were some components that I personally wanted to tweak for the wedding day. To my pleasant surprise, Tina was on the same page as me with my requests, and she even made some other helpful suggestions as well. She truly is an expert and really cares about her clients.
Linda styled my hair into an effortless updo that was both romantic and clean, just as I had requested. Though we had to try a few different styles at my trial to find the right fit, I was extremely pleased with my hair on the wedding day. Linda is a perfectionist in the best possible way. There wasn’t a single hair out of place, and she took so much care in ensuring that I would look pristine walking down the aisle.
We also chose to do the makeup and hair touch ups for my husband. Though only a short time was blocked for each of his services, Tina and Linda still took care in making him look extra handsome and camera ready!
Overall, we are very thankful to have worked with Tina and Linda, as they are true experts in their fields and work with their clients to ensure their happiness. -

MUA for life
I have never felt more beautiful than I did after Tina worked her magic with me. She and her second artist were prompt, organized, kind, and most of all - talented. I wanted an artist who could enhance my features without having to do anything dramatic and that’s exactly what Tina accomplished. If I ever have a special event that requires me to look and feel my best, Tina will be my go-to! -

Claudia Sent on 05/19/2025I loved my hair and makeup so much - I left a glowing review on two different sites so that everyone knows how amazing Tina and Linda are!!
Tina and Linda are literally incredible. They are magicians. Their attention to detail and level of expertise could honestly put a top-rated plastic surgeon to shame. I still can’t believe it was only makeup on my wedding day.
I booked Shine, Tina for hair and makeup services for myself (and I consider myself pretty proficient at doing my own makeup, especially since so many artists don’t know how to work with Asian features — so I’m not easy to impress). They also did makeup for my mom and mother-in-law, who are both Asian and never wear makeup.
I’m still looking at my wedding photos in disbelief that it’s me in them. I’ve never felt so beautiful or confident in my life.
You often hear, “trust the process,” or, “bridal makeup is supposed to look cakey in person so it photographs well.” Lies.
Tina and Linda proved those statements are completely false.
From the moment Tina started shaping and cleaning up my brows, to Linda fixing every strand of my bangs, I felt like they were enhancing me at every single step — not piling on product and telling me it'll look better in the end. I genuinely felt like I could have gotten up from the chair at any moment and still looked amazing.
And my makeup? It looked incredible both in person and in photos. I didn’t look cakey, heavy, or “overdone” in real life just so it would translate on camera. My now-husband couldn’t stop staring at me — and even weeks later, he still brings up how beautiful I looked that day. With everyone taking pictures from every angle, I honestly don’t think there was a single bad shot of me.
My mom and MIL also looked absolutely amazing. Doing makeup on a younger Asian woman is already an expert-level challenge in the Western beauty world. Doing makeup on older Asian women? Boss-level. And Asian moms? Let’s just say, they’re not shy about their opinions if they don’t like something. But Tina and Linda nailed it. Both moms — who were nervous about makeup and typically avoid it — ended up looking 15 years younger, radiant, and confident. That meant the world to me.
Longevity? My hair and makeup still looked flawless at 1:30am in a sweaty, packed after-party bar — after 10+ hours of dancing and celebrating. I got compliment after compliment on how well everything held up.
I’m now looking for any excuse to have Tina do my makeup and Linda do my hair again. They are, without exaggeration, the best in the business — worth every single penny! -

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! -

Minjee Sent on 04/25/202410/10 Make up artist!!!!
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!!!! 🤍

The Dream Team
Tina and her team were a dream. The right vendors really make the biggest difference. They were willing to work with me and all my indecisiveness (sorry Tina and Linda for being so annoying).
My single non-negotiable for the wedding was having a hair and make-up artist that has shown excellence working with Asian faces. I wanted to make sure we had someone that understood my bone structure, skin undertone, and hair texture. These ladies are THE PROS! And the best part is that even for my non-Asian bridesmaids, they delivered the most GORGEOUS outcomes. You can trust that Tina and her team will deliver!! My bridesmaids, my mom, MIL, aunt, and I were all so pleased with how everything turned out. And my hair and make up DID NOT BUDGE. I was bad and fell asleep with my make up on, and I woke up looking like I just had my make up done!
And some other details - Tina is so responsive. She was willing to work different timeline scenarios with me and help me settle on the team and timeline that would best achieve a smooth wedding day.
This is your dream team! I promise! -

Angi Sent on 10/07/2020So worth it!
Tina is such a talented artist and professional! From the beginning, she was so open, communicative, friendly, and extremely thorough. I reached out to her for my wedding because I wanted a MUA that was experienced working with Asian brides. She made sure to fulfill all my specific requests while also offering her expertise. I did a trial makeup and hair session a few weeks before the wedding. I was so happy with the results and it got me even more excited for the wedding day.
On the wedding day, she arrived 15 minutes early to set up and we were ahead of schedule. She did full hair and makeup for myself (bride), my mother, the groom’s mother, and the groom’s sister. Using Tina’s services were an investment for our low-budget wedding and admittedly, my budget-conscious husband was hesitant about her prices . However, on the wedding day, all he could say to me that night was, “Hiring Tina was SO worth it.” My mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law were all glowing and I could see how confident they felt as a result of Tina’s work.
Tina is so worth the investment! You will definitely be glad you chose her for your special day. (Bonus: She is also so fun to talk to while you sit in that makeup chair!) -

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 is the best!! She did such an amazing job with my wedding & crew! I had six bridesmaids, two mothers, one grandmother, flower girl, and a groom! But she was able to pull it off and move the schedule around to our preferences! Tina was also so helpful and quick during communication and during our hair and makeup trials! She had endless advice for me on makeup everyday but also for the wedding day. Everybody in my party LOVED their makeup and the experience being pampered by her crew! Our makeup stayed on all day and no smudging!! Would definitely recommend her to anybody needing their makeup and hair done for any event! -

Cynthia Sent on 11/23/2021Flawless!!
I worked with Shine Tina twice, once for my engagement photoshoot and a few weeks ago for my wedding. Tina is the best makeup artist I have ever had the pleasure of working with! My makeup was so beautiful and absolutely flawless. She was great at listening to my vision and created my look exactly how I wanted it. I'm VERY particular about makeup, so the fact that I didn't want to change anything about my final look is seriously saying something! I'm usually fixing something when working with other artists. On top of that, wedding stress wreaked havoc on my skin and I broke out like I was a teenager again. She masterfully covered up all my blemishes and made me look flawless.
As for my hair, her hairstylist, Linda was SO talented! She created beautiful, soft curls and took the time to fluff and place each individual curl! Her attention to detail was beyond what I've experienced with any other hairstylist. And again, I'm VERY particular! She was also very gentle with my hair because I have alopecia, so I'm very gratefu that she took extra care with me.
Both my mom and I were absolutely thrilled with our looks.
Overall, the communication with Shine Tina was very quick and painless. She was always very responsive and I appreciated the flexibility with moving around our wedding date due to Covid.
I will definitely find an excuse/occasion to use Shine Tina again!!
THANK YOU, Shine Tina -

Tina is an incredible and dedicated makeup artist! Her attention to detail is truly impeccable. I’m very particular about my makeup and Tina expertly combines her knowledge of what works best for your features with your personal preferences. She also did makeup for my bridal party. Tina expertly determined the best makeup styles for everyone and we were all blown away by how stunning the makeup looked. As an Asian bride with hooded lids, I know how challenging it can be to find a makeup artist who understands the importance of customizing makeup for each individual’s features. I’m confident that Tina will make you GLOW. As an added bonus, Tina is incredibly responsive and quick to reply to emails which is greatly appreciated amidst the stress of wedding planning. I highly recommend Shine Tina to anyone!!! -

Chloe Sent on 07/26/2019You need her!
I saw Tina's work through instagram and my friends' wedding photos and I already knew that she is the best. After I got engaged, I didn't even bother to look for other makeup artist. I still think I made the best decision for hiring her. I kinda picked the wedding date based on her availability too !!! LOL
Also I hired a hair stylist named Linda through Tina. Linda and Tina are just fabulous! Tina did my engagement photo make up and hair and I really LOVED it! It doesn't look overwhelming yet, she brings out what's the best on your face. For the wedding photo, both Tina and Linda gave us (groom, bride, mothers) some suggestions to start with, but they also listened how we would like to get it done. My wedding was July of 2019 and we had some photos taken outside, sweating alot etc, but everyone's makeup stayed flawless!!!!!!!!!! You will NEVER REGRET for hiring her. She's just too good. -
![Kay]()
Kay Sent on 08/12/2019Loved her work. Many times over.
Tina is one of the few wedding vendors that ensured that the entire process was smooth and stress-free. When searching for a makeup artist, I looked for someone 1. who could also do hair, 2. have a modern and classic taste in makeup (timeless and no 90's Miss Korea makeup) and 3. can work with an Asian - Korean - face well.
Tina did my makeup three times and hair twice: my engagement photoshoot (also served as a trial session), my sister's wedding (bridesmaid makeup), and my wedding. And I witnessed the quality of her work five times during the last 12 months: at my engagement photoshoot, at my sister's hanbok photoshoot, my sister's bridal, bridal party, and moms and dads, and my bridal and moms and dads, and at my college friend's wedding.
Tina was communicative, offered many professional - and helpful - opinions when asked, but also was never pushy. She always took my requests regarding the makeup and hair and tried her best to work with the logistics of the wedding (mine was 150 miles away from her studio) when possible. She made people of all ages happy, and our moms were asked several times to share Tina's contact information since my wedding!
I highly and enthusiastically recommend Tina for anyone on her(or his) special day. Have a trial session so she can get to know your face better, but even if you can't, she's still the closest to the perfect makeup/hair stylest you will have for your event. Thank you, Tina, for helping me (and the two other brides) pull through! -

I found Tina and her team during my best friend's wedding where I was a bridesmaid. My friend was so happy with her bridal makeup and wouldn't stop talking about it the whole time. I was so impressed by her work that I booked her for my own wedding a year later. We had to rescheduled our wedding due to the pandemic and Tina was very understanding and professional about the situation. She walked me through the different options which helped a lot with the wedding planning. The make-up and hair lasted the whole day and I couldn't be any happier. Highly recommend Tina! -

Tina was such a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and patient with me even though I changed the headcount multiple times on her.

I cannot recommend Tina enough. She was amazing from start to finish and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect on my wedding day. She worked her magic on my mom, who looked younger and more radiant than ever—better than when she got her makeup done in Korea for my brother's wedding.
What truly sets Tina apart is her professionalism and ability to take the stress off your shoulders. Tina and her team are already well known in the DMV area for their exceptional work, but if you’re looking for someone who truly makes your wedding day easier, she is your person. Unlike other makeup artists who require a hotel room with good lighting or a specific setup, Tina comes fully prepared. She brought all the supplies, lights, and chairs herself. She also managed the schedule flawlessly, ensuring everyone was ready on time without feeling rushed. Her Type A approach was exactly what I needed to keep everything on track. She even set up a timer to time all her work to keep us on schedule. Even my photographer and wedding planner were impressed!
Also, when my mother-in-law decided not to use her time slot, Tina graciously used that time to do an impromptu touch-up on my dad. It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how much she cares about her clients and their families.
Tina’s attention to detail, flexibility, and dedication to her clients make her a dream to work with. If you’re looking for someone professional, talented, organized, and kind, Tina is the one. -

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! -

I've gotten my hair & makeup done from Tina 4 times (my trial, bridesmaid's makeup for my bf's wedding, my engagement photo shoot, and my wedding). All throughout the process, the communication with her was so smooth both on email and in person. At the trial, I told her my wedding theme colors and how I imagined my wedding to be. She listened very well and provided great options that would fit me after observing my face structure and hair. After the trial, we communicated a lot through email. I decided to go for a different hair look instead of the one from the trial and Tina was completely supportive and helped me to prepare for the big day. I even asked her opinion when I was choosing my tiara. I ended up wearing the one that she suggested and It looked PERFECT with my wedding gown. On the wedding day, she created a romantic dusty rose look for me. It looked great with the wedding colors and I received so many compliments from the guests. She also did bridesmaids' makeup and each of their makeup looked so gorgeous yet different. She carefully observed the face features and created looks that were specifically catered for each of us. Tina definitely helped my dream wedding come true! -
User3502855 Sent on 06/01/2018Tina is very professional and I love my wedding hair style and make up. I met Tina on my best friend's wedding and I like the style she's made for my friend so I reached her for my wedding. She offered me a reasonable price (Bride+Groom), answered my questions very quick, and very organized. She shows up on time and is able to finish work before the time she promised. Thanks to that I could have more time to take some fun pictures with my friends and husband. I did not do make up trial with her but she picked the make up colors which totally fit me.
Thank you, Tina! :D -

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. 💄💖 -

Tina and her team accommodated myself, 9 bridesmaids, and 2 moms in one day. We stayed on schedule, and it was just such a relaxing time knowing we were in good hands. I had an earlier wedding date scheduled but had to postpone due to COVID and Tina worked with me and rebooking the date went so smoothly. Everyone looked stunning and our makeup lasted all day. I'm a crier and even after the ceremony my makeup was still flawless. When I got engaged I knew I wanted Tina and her team to do our makeup because she is knows for being able to really work on Asian features which is hard to find in the DMV area. Tina is also SO responsive which is also super important for your stress level in the wedding planning process. If you're looking for top notch MUA and Hair team, don't hesitate to book with Tina! -

I've been following Tina's instagram for quite some time. When I decided on her, I was a little bit skeptical of the prices, but I wanted to look good for my wedding and decided to have her do the makeup of my bridesmaids also. I wanted us to look good together and have a similar look. She is very thorough, professional and very kind in the entire process, especially as my wedding kept getting postponed due to COVID. I did a trial with her where she was attentive and tried to figure out what I wanted and what she should do for my wedding as I was very indecisive. I don't know too much about makeup and hair myself. When it came to my wedding day, she was amazing. She helped me and my bridesmaids and talked us through our makeup. She made me feel and look very beautiful. You won't regret choosing her as your makeup and hair artist for your wedding. -

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. -

Impeccable professionalism!
I want to give a huge shoutout to Tina (makeup) and Heather (hair) for their amazing work at our October 2024 wedding! Tina went above and beyond from the start, ensuring I was completely satisfied. I reached out to her in April bc her portfolio showed experience with East Asian clientele and mature makeup. She was quick to respond and gave me detailed service options. During my trial, I originally wanted a "glow glam" sleek bun, but Tina was receptive to my feedback and helped me land on a more natural, understated look that felt true to me.
The logistics were tricky with a tea ceremony and wedding later in the day, but Tina made sure we had an early start (6:30am) with enough buffer time to ensure we were ready by 1pm. My bridesmaids and moms were also thrilled with their makeup! My hair and makeup stayed perfect all day with minimal touch-ups.
Though their services are on the pricier side for the MD/DMV area, I wholeheartedly recommend Shine, Tina for their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. They made me feel like my best self on my wedding day! -

Tina was great and she made my wedding day even more special with beautiful make up for me and my bridesmaids. She is very professional, was very punctual, and most importantly, is very good at what she does. She is quite popular in this area so make sure to contact her way in advance! -

I had a fantastic experience with Shine Tina! I was already familiar with their beautiful work through friends who had booked them in the past, and their portfolio truly impressed me. Booking with Tina, the owner, was seamless—she made the process easy and stress-free!
Tina and Heather got me ready for my engagement photos for September 2024, and I was so happy with the final look. They also provided helpful recommendations for wedding-day makeup and hair styling, which I truly appreciated.
On our wedding day, Heather and Lindsey were amazing! They prepped my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, sister, and even did makeup for my husband. My own hair and makeup held up beautifully all day and night—even with both outdoor and indoor events in this past May!
If you’re looking for a reliable, talented, and professional hair and makeup team, book Shine Tina! Tina and her team are incredible—you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again for making my day so special!
