Evening make-up is a stronger, longer-lasting look designed for formal evening occasions — a party, a gala, a birthday, a night at the theatre or an anniversary. Unlike natural daytime make-up, the artist works here with deeper shades, emphasised eye make-up and often false lashes, so that the face reads well in dim light and in photographs.

In our directory, evening make-up is offered by dozens of salons and make-up artists, including in Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, Rakvere, Haapsalu, Viljandi, Võru and Paldiski. Evening make-up is a popular choice for anyone who wants a more striking, more formal look for one particular night.

What is evening make-up?

Evening make-up is a formal look aimed at impact and staying power. The artist usually builds a stronger eye — deeper eyeshadow shades, a defined liner, fuller lashes — and finishes the complexion with a mattifying layer that holds up well through the evening.

Because evening events often take place under artificial light, the shades and the contouring are chosen so that the face reads well in dim surroundings. That is what sets evening make-up apart from daytime make-up, which is light and made for daylight.

When is evening make-up the right choice?

Evening make-up suits formal occasions: a birthday, a milestone birthday, a company party, a gala, a night at the theatre or a concert, an anniversary or a formal dinner. In the price lists in our directory it often appears alongside the names formal make-up and party make-up — these all refer to the same more striking option.

If the event is during the day, or you want a more natural result, daytime make-up is the better fit. For a wedding, though, choose bridal make-up, which is designed to be especially long-lasting and usually includes a trial.

How much does evening make-up cost in Estonia?

In the price lists of the salons in our directory, evening make-up usually falls between €25 and €45, most often around €35–40. The price is a little higher than for daytime make-up, because evening make-up takes more work and often includes a stronger finish or lashes.

Some salons offer evening and photoshoot make-up at the same price (from €40, for example), because both call for a long-lasting, emphasised result. False lashes may carry a separate surcharge — check this when you book.

Evening make-up vs daytime make-up and bridal make-up

In terms of intensity, evening make-up sits between daytime make-up and bridal make-up. Daytime make-up is lighter and more natural, evening make-up more striking and longer-lasting, while bridal make-up is the most carefully planned and the most durable of the three, designed for a whole wedding day and preceded by a trial.

If the same evening involves both a photoshoot and a party, mention it to your make-up artist — a combination of photoshoot and evening make-up makes sure the look works both on camera and in the room.

How to prepare for evening make-up

Arrive with clean, moisturised skin, and time the appointment so that the make-up is finished shortly before the event starts. If you know the style you want — smoky eyes or a bold lip, for example — show the artist a reference photo so that your expectations match.

Take a small touch-up kit with you for the evening (a lipstick, blotting papers). In the directory you will find evening make-up providers in several cities — pick the nearest salon and book a slot for your event.
