"When I was searching for a top makeup school in Toronto, Paramita was the first one that came up and so I decided to look at the website and research it. I ended up going to Paramita and it was the best decision, the small class size ensures that you get really hands on and because of its small class size, you become close with everyone in the room immediately. Jessica wasn't only my teacher she became my friend and would help me with any kind of situation. It was the first time I looked forward to waking up and going to school!! Jessica gives you the confidence and inspiration to go out there and be on your own. I really learned a lot at Paramita and I'll never forget it! Thanks Jess!! "

"When searching for a Makeup school, you always want to find one with a small class size and an instructor who will give you one on one attention the whole way through. Paramita is just that. Jessica is one of the most influential people I have ever met. She teaches in a laid back atmosphere, which makes learning that much more enjoyable. Throughout her teaching she will stop and ask questions to make sure we understand the material that she is going over. At this time we will also share topic related stories about our own experiences. I was very eager to write my first test at the end of the first week because I had become so passionate about Makeup. As I was writing, I kept hearing my many conversations with Jessica playing back in my head and her encouraging words. I ended up getting a perfect score. Jessica's teaching techniques are unlike any other and I would recommend anyone who is interested in having a career in Makeup Artistry to Paramita. Thank you for everything Jessica, you're fabulous."

"Paramita is a great school where you learn a variety of aspects to makeup artistry in a sufficient and convenient time frame. Jessica really teaches you the skills you need to cover all these aspects with confidence and ease. She understands and appreciates the art behind makeup artistry and how important it is to remember that it is an art form in itself. The intimate classes provided a small and comfortable working environment ensuring focus on every student's work and growth. Paramita's classes encourage everyone to experiment and explore within themselves enabling these different personalities to come together and share their different perspectives and encourage each other to try things that they may not have thought of doing before. This is great for expanding your eye and opening your mind to makeup and art and provides ample amounts of possibilities. That's what makes Paramita so unique and conducive in its goal to teach and train professional makeup artists."
