Professional Makeup in Sofia — from €46

Every occasion has its look. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, need photoshoot makeup for a professional session, attending a corporate event, or simply enjoying an evening that deserves something special — the right makeup makes the difference between feeling good and feeling extraordinary.

I am Vessy Mineva, an event makeup artist based in Sofia with over 16 years of professional experience. I work from my salon in the Manastirski Livadi neighbourhood, where every session begins with a conversation — about you, the occasion, and the confidence and look you want to carry with you.

The right makeup makes the difference between feeling good and feeling extraordinary.

What does the session include?

• Personal consultation — we discuss the occasion, your outfit, skin tone, face shape, and the result you want
• Professional skin preparation — cleansing, toning, and hydration suited to your skin type. A good base is half the success of any makeup
• Hydrating base — a primer that smooths texture, minimises pores, and ensures comfort throughout the day or evening
• Individualised contouring — sculpting, highlighter, and blush placed to enhance your natural bone structure without a mask-like effect
• High-end products — I use professional, high-end, and luxury brands: Dior, Natasha Denona, Hourglass, Chanel, Gucci, Patrick Ta, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Charlotte Tilbury. Selected individually for longevity, comfort, and flawless finish
• Eyes and brows — precise work with palettes that complement your eye colour, from soft looks for daytime to bold smoky accents or metallic shimmer for the evening
• Lips — contouring and colour matched to the overall look, from subtle nudes to rich berry and cherry tones
• False lashes — from €5.11 / 10 лв.
• Professional setting spray — your makeup holds for 10-12 hours, even through dancing, warm weather, and emotional moments
• Photogenic finish — textures chosen to look flawless both in person and on camera, with no flashback under flash photography

Who is this for?

Evening and day makeup is for any special occasion where you want to look polished and feel confident:

• Birthday — a look that makes you the star of your own celebration, whether intimate or grand
• Photo shoot — photogenic makeup with no flashback, perfectly suited to the shooting location — studio or natural light
• Corporate event — elegant, refined makeup suited for business settings, awards, daytime and evening cocktails
• Interview or public appearance — confidence that shows on camera and in front of an audience
• Date night or anniversary — a soft, feminine look with emphasis on the eyes or lips
• Christening or family gathering — fresh, natural makeup that lasts all day and photographs beautifully
• Hen party — a bolder, more playful look to match the mood and the group
• Business portrait or corporate shoot — clean, professional makeup optimised for studio lighting

Evening vs day — what is the difference?

The difference is not just about intensity — it is about how the makeup interacts with light and the mood of the occasion.

Daytime makeup is designed for natural light. The leading trend for 2025-2026 is glass skin — luminous, hydrated skin that looks healthy and fresh, as if lit from within. I use a sheer base, strategic highlighter, and warm, soft tones for a polished yet natural result. Perfect for business meetings, daytime photo shoots in Sofia, and relaxed celebrations.

Evening makeup takes advantage of artificial lighting and allows for richer textures and bolder choices. The current approach centres on a statement feature — one strong accent that defines the look. This might be a deep smoky eye in burgundy and chocolate, saturated cherry or berry lips, a subtle metallic shimmer on the lids, or a combination of soft smoky eyeliner with a glitter accent. The skin remains flawless and velvety, with more defined contouring and structure. Evening makeup is designed to make you stand out — on the dance floor and in every photograph.
