Tina is a magician! She was very patient and sweet as she stood for 6 hours painting 5 bridesmaids and the bride. I had fun joking about my dry skin and uneven face with her and she smiled and made all the problems disappear! She also kindly obliged to our varying comfort levels and gave me a more slightly dramatic eye while giving the other bridesmaids more natural looks as requested. My only complaint: I wish she lived near me and I wish I had more fancy things to go to so that I could get her to do my makeup all the time! For photo reference, our group is the series of 6 ladies in satin-y dressing gowns and I am the one in the olive-colored robe. read more

I recently requested Tina to do my girlfriends make up. Being employed in the automotive industry where the standards of professionalism and integrity rank high.....Tina passed with 'flying colors'. Tina Tom exemplifies the highest standard that we look for when evaluating new business associates. Confident, informative- yet easy going in her approach. read more

Makeup by Tina Tom - Makeup Artists Near Me

This is long over due but Tina did my makeup for my wedding last year and I choice her out of all the other makeup artist because she was the only one I felt that had great before and after pictures. It's amazing what makeup can do, not only did she do a wonderful job she made me for beautiful on the outside and more confident on the inside. She really listens to you and have great suggestions when you don't know what the heck you want. Like I asked about airbrush and that I have combination dry oily skin and that if you have dry skin it probably would be better not to do the airbrush. And with regular makeup it lasted all day. And the person who did my hair Melanie did an awesome job as well and quick too. Overall results is after Tina applied the makeup and Melanie finished my hair and I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time and still recognized myself, I still looked like me! And the look on my husband's face when he saw me in my wedding dress for the first time was priceless!Thank you Tina and Melanie for making my day even more special! read more

I booked Tina for my wedding this past May. After looking at her portfolio I decided to give her a try. First and for most, contacting her was a simple click away. She was very quick to respond and was extremely helpful in guiding me through the steps. Tina and her partner both worked on my engagement look, which came out great! When it came close to my wedding she made sure to contact me and reaffirm everything. On my wedding day Tina and her team showed up on time and were professional. Did I mention, her team and her were all wonderfully sweet ladies? They did a great job in accommodating all 11 girls and finished in a timely matter. I was happy with the end result. I would definitely book her again if I had another event. read more

Apart from her talent, I love that Tina is highly responsive and eager to help. Having been in several wedding parties, what I truly appreciate about Tina is her professionalism. She is punctual and best of all, she doesn't double book. For a reasonable fee, she also travels to OC. read more

Tina is amazing and did not disappoint! I hired her last minute for my engagement photoshoot and for my wedding. She was responsive, easy to work with, and such a pleasure to be around. I had last minute changes that I requested for my wedding day..not exactly knowing what I wanted, but she was totally on point. Everyone was commenting on how great their makeup turned out and it lasted throughout the night (in 90 degree weather)!! read more

I was part of a bridal party and needed my makeup done for a wedding. Being so caught up with all the planning for the wedding, I totally waited until last minute to look for a makeup artist and was freaking out. I was sure I wasn't going to find anyone on such short notice. My friend referred me to Tina and I was SUPER SUPER lucky she was able to fit me in on a minute's notice and before sunrise! Tina was professional, took her time perfecting my look, and took my preferences into consideration. I showed her the dress the day of and she was able to make me look pretty and not tacky. My makeup stayed on throughout the day in 80+ degree weather and still looked great by the end of the night. Tina's your girl if you need to look your best for any special event! read more

Tina did my makeup for my wedding this past Friday, and it was amazing! I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and so I really wanted a natural look for my wedding and I was so happy with what she came up with! Even better, after dancing for hours and sweating a ton, the makeup still looked great! Thank you Tina!!! read more

Tina gave me the exact look that I was looking for, far better than any make-up counter ever did! She was able to do this because she really listened to what I wanted and I am NOT an easy person to please! She is AMAZING at what she does. I don't normally write reviews but she deserves all the glory. I don't ever wear a full make look no matter how fancy an event is. Whether I'm off to work or off to a fancy dinner, my go to make-up routine consists of my concealer, eyeliner and eyebrows - nothing more. This is because I always thought that eyeshadow made me look WAY too over done, even with natural-looking colors. I have olive skin tone and dark brown eyes, so I thought that every color I put on would look too 'muddy-looking'. I even thought fake lashes looked horrible on me and made my eyes look smaller. Tina proved me wrong and made me a believer! I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding and we had to do our own make-up. I didn't want to get my make-up done at the counter because those girls don't listen to you and always seem to pack on the makeup while trying to sell you things that you don't need. So I took to yelp to help me find a makeup artist. I found Tina and gave her a call - she was so sweet! I called about two weeks before the wedding and Tina said that she was booked. Fortunately for me, she had a last minute cancellation and gave me a call a week before the wedding. She gave me the natural look that I've always wanted without feeling so overdone! It wasn't muddy looking, my make-up lasted the whole day, it looked great in pictures. I really can't complain - I loved it! She even gave some make-up tips so that I can re-create the look at home. Now I'm excited to go out and buy myself an eyeshadow palette to try the look myself :) Pros: -SUPER SWEET and BUBBLY personality -She listens to her customers -She is GREAT at what she does - she strives for perfection -Timely -Not overpriced Cons: -None that I can think of! Ladies, DO NOT HESITATE - BOOK HER NOW! You won't regret it. My only advice is that you book early maybe a month or two in advance ! I will definitely be calling Tina again for future events. I am one happy customer. Thank you Tina Tom! :) read more

I had my wedding this past Saturday, and the heat wave just broke today. I beat the makeup melting season! Tina came to my house on wedding day morning and started getting to work right away. She is a professional, but her demeanor comes across as your friend as well which is is really great for someone like me. I am not a regular makeup person so she was very patient with me as I made faces as my skin is not used to so much makeup and brush strokes. She was also very patient with curling my lashes and putting falsies on. She came by a few months prior to do a demo and even remembered how my skin was then and said that it looked better/clearer now. More importantly, the makeup lasted (with her setting spray and knowing how much to put on) from 12pm to almost midnight (with exception of lipstick bec of eating and drinking). I did not have to worry about my makeup at all! I highly recommend Tina! read more

Tina did the make up for my moms and sisters for our Chinese wedding and they all LOVED their make up. She was professional and very efficient and there is no doubt that I would recommend her to anyone I know seeking MU services. read more

Tina and Thy were great! Here are a few of the things that I really appreciated about them: 1. They were professional, yet friendly and approachable. It was clear that they work together often, so their rapport gave off a good friendly vibe that put me at ease quickly. Even though it'd been a few months since my trial, on my wedding day, they were just as friendly and it felt like I had just seen them a few days ago. 2. They followed up after the trial to check in on how the makeup lasted and to see if I had any changes. I have to admit, after the trial, I was a little worried, as the trial look was a bit more dramatic than what I was expecting/wanted. I noted a few specific things to Tina that I wanted changed, and on the wedding day, she remembered them. 3. This probably belongs with #2, but I think it's so important that I'm making it its own point ... Tina and Thy listened to what I had to say and made the necessary adjustments. I was absolutely blown away by how my wedding day makeup and hair turned out! I was rendered speechless. It was exactly what I was looking for and I think that moment was the beginning of when it all started to sink in for me. 4. I took Tina's suggestion of the airbrush option, and I'm glad that I did ... my makeup stayed all (sweaty) afternoon and night long and it didn't feel icky or gross at any point. 5. My makeup and hair made me feel beautiful ... and they make me look awesome in my photos! To the point, where I couldn't stop saying to my new husband how good I looked and he had to tell me to stop being vain (he was joking ... I think). 6. Not to be tacky, but this is a very real consideration ... Tina and Thy are an amazing value. Not only do they do good work for a very reasonable price, but they do it with a smile. I had spoken with some other hair/makeup artists, and let's just say that I walked away from one of them feeling really bad about how much of my wedding I hadn't planned yet (and even apologized to them for being such a bad bride-to-be). Overall, I'm SO glad that I found Tina and Thy .. they really helped me to feel beautiful and special on my wedding day!! read more

I recently took Tina's makeup course with my sister and friend because we wanted to learn how to do different eye makeup looks. She was informative and patient, and we learned a lot!!! We're going to book another session with her again for her contouring and brow shaping class later on...eyebrows are so difficult. She was so sweet that she even provided us with goodie bags after the class - can't wait to try everything out. THANKS Tina! read more

Tina did my makeup for my wedding last Saturday and she did an amazing job! I received so many compliments on how beautiful my makeup looked! I asked for a natural look and she did just that but still made me look amazing. It's not that I am in to myself but she did such a wonderful job that I could not help taking selfies all day. She was super nice and put on fun music in the background to lighten up a potentially stressful morning and we talked and talked about anything and everything. She is not only a great makeup artist but a very fun and kind person. So, on the morning of, after my makeup was finished, Tina asked me if someone was coming to do my hair and I told her I was planning to do my own hair and she stopped me saying that it was not okay to do my own hair especially when I already had a million things on my mind. Then she kindly and willingly curled my hair for me and did a cute half braided hair, put on my hair pin, and put on my veil for me!! She was so sweet!! I did not have any bridesmaids so she helped me put on my dress and stayed with me until everything was set. Please keep in mind that she did this out of the goodness of her heart and I hope that nobody takes advantage of her and ask her to do your hair when it was not planned! Overall, I was weary about getting my makeup done, due to the fear that I would hate it and it would not look like me...but now I look forward to getting my makeup done in the future and I hope she will be doing makeup forever so I can go to her every time! Lol. I feel like I have gained a friend and I could not have asked for a better wedding experience. Love her!! read more

Tina did a fantastic job on me (both the make up and the hair) for an end of year party of my school! She was really nice, patient, professional, and enthusiastic! Thanks to her, I had an amazing time at the party. She also recommended some nice primers to me when I asked her. Really helpful! I would like to have Tina do my hair and makeup again when I graduate next year! read more

Tina did wonders for me and my bridesmaids! I had my makeup trial with Tina and she was so wonderful about listening to what I wanted and following up with me about all the details of the wedding day. Tina is incredibly skilled at what she does and takes the time to make each girl look gorgeous. I have nothing but rave reviews to give. Definitely call Tina for any special evenT makeup needs, she is worth every single penny and then some!!! Thanks again Tina, you are AMAZING!!!! read more

Tina & Tee are both very personable and provide very good customer service! I look like a movie star after my make-over.

I found Tina through Yelp because I needed a make-up artist for my wedding day. It turned out to be a great choice because Tina is super professional, talented, patient and warm. She actually arrived earlier than me on my big day and she really listened to my needs and paid attention to my reaction to false lashes. Strongly recommend her to anyone who wants a perfect look but only has a tight budget! read more

I did make up trial for my upcoming wedding. The result is amazing :-). My fiance and me are very happy, we love the transformation that Tina and Tee did on me. I feel so pretty :-). I shared the photo to my mom, sister and friends, they all love it. Tina, Tee and Tina's sister (Lily ? I hope I have your name correctly) are very nice people. They made us very comfortable and relax. I cannot wait for my big D, to be like a princess, surprise all of our friends and have great picture :-). Thank you Tina and Tee for your magic hand, looking forward to work with you on my wedding day read more

Tina is very professional and arrived on time. She was personable and tried to listen to my request. I was very nervous about how the makeup would turn out and when she was done I felt it was heavy and I was afraid to face people. She reassured me that the makeup will darken as the day progressed, and it will show up in pictures better. She was right, the makeup started to mix with my skin oil, it showed up better in pictures especially from faraway, and it lasted the entire day. It did get greasy after being in the direct sun, and I just took some toilet paper to blot the oil which did the trick. Overall, she did a great job, and I just had to trust Tina's makeup experience. I would recommend knowing what looks best on you and maybe having a trial if possible. I do not usually wear heavy makeup or lashes and honestly I do not know what looks best on me. I have these Asian eyes with asymmetrical folds, and she managed to make them look huge. My skin was breaking out, and she covered them very well. Thank you Tina! read more
