About The Esti Method

The Esti Method

Owner/makeup artist/LE

The Esti Method is a luxury on site bridal service that is owned and operated by Mary Fay Smith. Mary has been a Licensed Esthetician and professional makeup artist since 2006. The Esti Method LLC is fully licensed and insured in North Carolina.

My inherent esthetic is to accentuate the natural features of the face without being overdone. I find that most brides who seek out my services are looking for a natural glam; however, I can accommodate any look a bride requests.

    Mary provided makeup services for myself and 7 other women at my wedding. She did such an amazing job in each service – everyone’s makeup was glowing and flawless, both in pictures and in person! Mary is extremely talented, professional, organized, punctual, and responsive. She is so easy to work with and brought a positive & calm energy! I also really appreciated how Mary values good hygiene and sanitation practices, especially when working with multiple clients. Her high standards of service truly show how much she cares about protecting her client’s health and safety. After working with Mary, I would never go to anyone else in the future! I would 100% recommend her – she is the best of the best (:

    I have worked side by side with Mary on several weddings. Not only is she professional and organized, she is very talented, as her work speaks for itself. Mary has always been punctual and ready to serve her clients. Our clients have only had amazing and positive things to say about her. Mary is a true joy and I look forward to working with her again.
