An object is to provide a light-emitting device or a flexible light-emitting device having low surface temperature, a long lifetime, and high reliability. Another object is to provide a simple method of manufacturing the light-emitting device or the flexible light-emitting device. Provided is a light-emitting device or a flexible light-emitting device which includes: a substrate having a light-transmitting property with respect to visible light; a first adhesive layer provided over the substrate; an insulating layer located over the first adhesive layer; a light-emitting element comprising a first electrode formed over the insulating layer, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and a layer including an organic compound having a light-emitting property between the first electrode and the second electrode, a second adhesive layer formed over the second electrode; a metal substrate provided over the second adhesive layer; and a heat radiation material layer formed over the metal substrate.
