A make-up course — a guided make-up lesson or training session — differs from an ordinary make-up service on one important point: here the make-up artist does not do your make-up for you, but teaches you to do it yourself. On the course you learn to read your own features, which products and techniques suit you, and you practise under the artist's guidance exactly the moves you need day to day.
Our directory lists several salons and make-up artists offering make-up courses, including in Tallinn, Rakvere and Rapla. Courses are run both individually (focused on your own face and your own wishes) and for groups — for a group of friends, as a birthday activity or as a team event.
What is a make-up course and who is it for?
A make-up course is a guided lesson in which a make-up artist teaches you the fundamentals of make-up or builds on the skills you already have. Unlike a make-up service, where the make-up is done for you, on a course you practise yourself — the artist explains every step, recommends the products and techniques that suit your features, and corrects you as you go.
The course suits both the beginner who wants to learn an everyday daytime look and the more advanced learner who wants to master specific techniques (eye make-up, contouring or a formal look, for example). It is also a popular gift and a popular format for a social occasion.
Individual course vs group course
An individual make-up course focuses entirely on you: the artist analyses your features and skin type, picks the products that suit you and teaches exactly the techniques you need. It is the most effective way to improve your everyday make-up. In the directory, individual course prices are usually €100–150.
A group course suits a gathering — a get-together with friends, a hen night, a birthday or a team event. The total price is higher but it is split between the participants: group courses in the directory have been seen from €350 (up to ~10 people). Some make-up artists will also travel to you by arrangement.
How much does a make-up course cost in Estonia?
An individual make-up course for yourself is usually in the €100–150 range in directory price lists, depending on length (a 2-hour course, for example, is around €100). Group courses start at about €350 and are divided between the participants.
Some make-up artists also offer courses at a negotiated price, depending on the topic and the size of the group. Because a course takes more time and is more individual than a standard service, the price is higher than a one-off make-up application — but what you learn stays with you for a long time.
What does a make-up course include?
A typical course begins with an analysis of your features and skin type and a review of the products you currently use. The artist then teaches you step by step how to even out your complexion, shape your brows, do your eye make-up and finish your lips, letting you try every technique yourself.
Many artists also give product recommendations on the course and a list of what is worth buying, plus advice on how to streamline your make-up bag. Ask in advance whether to bring your own products or whether the trainer's will be used.
How to choose a make-up course
Think about what you want to learn — an everyday natural look, a formal look or a specific technique — and say so when booking, so the trainer can tailor the content of the lesson accordingly. Look at the artist's portfolio and experience, especially if you want to learn a particular style.
In the directory you will find make-up course providers in Tallinn, Rakvere and Rapla. Choose an individual course if you want to focus on your own face, or a group course if you are planning a social event or a gift.

How does a make-up course differ from a make-up service?
With a make-up service the make-up is done for you. On a make-up course the artist teaches you to do your own make-up — you practise under guidance and learn which products and techniques suit you.
Is a make-up course suitable for a beginner?
Yes. The course can be adapted both for a beginner learning an everyday daytime look and for a more advanced learner who wants to master specific techniques such as eye make-up or contouring.

Do I have to bring my own make-up products?

How long does a make-up course last?
An individual course usually lasts a couple of hours (a 2-hour session is around €100, for example). The length of a group course depends on the number of participants and the topic; agree the duration with the trainer.
