    Love Tina's work! I was looking for a make up artist for my wedding and came across Tina through Instagram and immediately liked her style - natural with a subtle glam. It was such a breeze setting up bridal trial with Tina. I got in contact with her and she sent me a clear list of her pricing. I met up with her in her Pasadena studio the day of my engagement shoot for my bridal trial. She and Melanie (who did my hair) were very friendly and easy to talk to and really took in my requests and made it better! Our engagement shoot came out amazing and I received a ton of compliments on my make up and hair! I got in touch with Tina when my wedding date was coming up. I had to do some modifications with my booking, including some last minute back and forth add on (one of my bridesmaids wasn't planning on making it to the wedding because of recent birth and decided to come one week before the wedding). Tina was so understanding and flexible during the whole thing and that really took some stress off my shoulders so I could focus on other last minute issues (like my dad's suit, or lack of). She provided me a detail timeline of who's doing make up and hair so I had a good idea how the morning would be like. She even gave me great suggestions on what long lasting lip gloss to get as part of my bridesmaids day-of gifts! On the wedding day, I was going to text Tina in the morning letting her know that parking might be a little hard to find in the neighborhood but she and her team (Melanie and Lyly) actually arrived early and set up the make up station quickly. We had 2 moms for make up with my mom also doing hair, and 4 bridesmaids and I for hair and make up. The three of them worked quickly and efficiently and completed everything within the time frame with my indecisive mom (she kept going back and forth on how her hair was too long in the back). I felt very fortunately to have found Tina and her team for my make up and hair. Tina's organization skills and attention to details really allowed me to just relax and enjoy my morning without having to worry if we would be running late. And of course, my make up and hair held up throughout the whole night and it really showed in our pictures! Thank you Tina and team for a great experience and I would recommend her to all the brides that I know :)

    I decided to get my makeup done by Tina to take some professional headshots. She did an amazing job with giving me a natural look. I was shocked at my transformation and was really glad that I decided to go to her instead of attempting g to do my makeup on my own (because honestly I don't know what I'm doing half the time LOL). She was really gentle and I had a lot of fun. Overall the experience was amazing and I will not hesitate to go to her again the next time I need a fairy godmother.

    Loved my makeup and hair by Tina! I had my engagement shoot today and I was so impressed with how everything turned out :) Tina was so professional and welcoming when I met her. She was friendly and loved her energy! It's so important to find someone who listens to you and Tina sure did that! She made sure I was completely satisfied with how I looked by asking me questions and she really took the time to make me look flawless! My makeup is still on point after sweating and being at the beach (after 9 hours) I don't want to take my makeup off lol THANK YOU TINA!! I will definitely recommend Tina for your HMU needs! :)

    Exactly what I wanted

    Tina does her job WELL!!! I found her through Yelp and now I see why she's so highly rated. I hired her to do my makeup for my engagement photoshoot. Getting in touch with her was very easy and was quick to respond with clear instructions during these Covid times. She's very sweet and easy to talk to and has a clear understanding of delivering the results the customers want. I'm so glad I found her

    My home girl Tina does WORK. I booked her on two separate occasions (family shoot and engagement shoot). She arrived on time and prepare on both appointments. I usually don't wear a ton of makeup, so I was a bit stunned at the amount of makeup on my face. JUST TRUST HER. She's an expert and knows exactly how the camera will pick up the makeup. She even takes the time to trim my eyebrows to ensure I look good at all angles- talk about attention to detail. I showed her some inspiration snapshots, and within an hour, I was completely transformed. The testimonial photos speak for themselves. My new go-to MUA.

    Tina is the best. Love her. She made me look so beautiful for my 40th birthday photo shoot. She used all the secret tricks to make my hair and makeup pop in the photos. She is incredibly kind and funny to boot, which made the session that much sweeter. Book her while you can!

    Tina did a wonderful job on my makeup! She made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. A few months back I met Tina and Luna (hair) for a trial run. Not only were they sweet, but they were professional and were very receptive to the look I was going for. I wanted a Meghan markle inspired look (fresh laid back California vibe) and they got it down. For the wedding day, she and Luna worked on my bridesmaids, mother, and aunt and everyone loved their look. I let my girls choose their own hair and makeup on my wedding day and they each looked like a glammed up version of themselves! They looked beautiful. Everyone complimented my whole look that day and I just felt like a fancier version of myself. My hair and makeup lasted well into the night. I opted for the airbrush (it is additional), I danced all night and by the time we got back to the hotel it still hadn't budged. Communicating with Tina was very easy and she does Venmo payments so it was also convenient.

    Makeup by Tina!

    Tina Tom! She's done it again! I recently went to my friend's wedding and I really wanted my makeup done for this special occasion. I immediately thought of Tina! On my end, I let her know about a month or two in advance because I understand...makeup artists can get pretty booked up so I wanted to be courteous to her and her schedule. The wedding was on a Sunday around 3pm and she was able to respond quickly and let me know she was available that day. As the wedding drew closer, new details emerged and I almost thought I wouldn't be able to get my makeup done after all! Luckily, Tina was so accommodating and was able to come in the morning instead of later in the day. She arrived on time and we set up everything near my garden. I showed her pictures of what look I was going for but I also trusted her to put her own spin on it as well. She took her time getting me ready but also asked my opinion when it came to what I liked and what I didn't like. Overall, she is my go to person for when I have those special occasions and I want to feel glam and fabulous! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! Note- I wanted to keep my hair simple as I'm the guest, not the bride haha so I didn't do anything major with it. I wanted more of a sleek look. Tina can definitely do hair but more intricate things I believe she has a partner. Definitely ask!

    Wow! Wow! Just got my face beautified by the very lovely and talented Tina Tom. When it comes to makeup I am at a total lost - the most I can do is put on lip gloss and mascara and sometimes in hope that doesn't smeared all over. Tina was very good at not only applying and bringing out my features but also she gave me some very good tips. She made sure I was comfortable and during the whole process asked me if I had any questions. Since I don't know how to apply makeup, I usually pay others to do it and I have had some very good experience and some bad ones and this one definitely was a great experience. She's friendly, energetic and has a great personality so it makes the time that she's putting on makeup doesn't seem so dull and boring but quite fun. I have had makeup artist not say very much during the 30-45 minutes they are applying makeup which made it pretty awkward - that or they just didn't do a good job for like $100+. Tina's prices are fair - actually pretty good deal since the ones I have had before charged well over 100+ for just party makeup and not even super great at times. She really takes her time so the quality is very good. A few of the things I really liked was how she filled in my brows and she made my skin pretty flawless (since I have a lot of marks and acne). She was also able to make my eyes really pop and the contouring of my nose and face was great. I would definitely hire her again in the future and recommend her for any makeup sessions and lessons.

    Olivia is amazing. I was on a last minute scramble (as always lol, procrastination and running late…read moreare big Achilles heels of mine!) to search for someone to do a bridal hairstyle on me that very same day, and of course, most solo-run places that offer these type of services either were not available, booked out, out of town for the day, or did not call me back. Olivia not only answered me, she knows exactly what it is that youre envisioning when you try to describe it to her and she can carry out what youre looking for and goes above and beyond on it. Despite having other clients that day, she still was able to squeeze me in and did an absolutely beautiful job on my hair. There was another place that I had called that said they couldn't do that style on me without hair extensions, but Olivia did it super easily with zero need for that and found ways to make my super super long hair work with the style in the most creative and flattering ways. She also takes super small details into account that make a big difference, such as where intentionally creating contrast/differences in certain areas on purpose instead of one consistent/clean edge actually makes it look more flattering on the person, which strands of baby hairs to let out and whether they should be straight or wavy or curled, and what is more flattering for the person's face shape and facial features since it varies from person to person. Olivia transformed me and I ended up having the most successful day because of her and I love her for it, and now I want to go back to her for any other hair needs. I love you, Olivia!! Thank you for turning my last minute stressful day into a beautiful successful one :)

Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated.
