Why Less Is More: The Truth About Makeup for Weddings and Special Events
When it comes to makeup for your wedding or a special event, there’s one myth I hear all the time:
“You need heavy makeup for it to look good in photos.”
At Verni Beauty, I believe in something different and better:
Makeup should enhance your natural features, not hide them.
💄 Makeup Is About Balance, Not Layers
To me, beauty is about proportions, grooming, and feature harmony. Makeup should bring out what’s already there — your eyes, your cheekbones, your skin — not cover it all up with product.
If your skin is beautiful, we let it breathe. If your features are strong, we support them with thoughtful tones and subtle structure, not unnecessary drama.
🌿 Why Less Really Is More
Here’s what we don’t believe in:
Cakey foundation
Harsh contouring
Ultra-heavy trends that flatten individuality
Instead, we prep your skin to glow naturally. We use clean, lightweight products that photograph well and feel good in person. And we enhance your natural beauty in a way that looks timeless, not trend-based.
📸 What About Photos?
Yes, professional lighting can wash out color, but your wedding day (or special event) isn’t a photoshoot.
You’ll be seen in:
Natural daylight
Soft evening light
Flash photos
Candid moments
Makeup needs to perform in every setting, not just through a camera lens. Our techniques are designed to make you feel beautiful both in person and in photos, without looking overly made up.
