Executive Committees

Executive committees are started for a variety of reasons. Instead of relying on the decision-making abilities of one individual, executive committees put together the expertise of several individuals who volunteer to run a non-profit organization or program. These executive committee members work instead to further a cause they care about. All of our executive committee members have graciously and generously donated their time to benefit the good of the industry. As with other organizations that use the members dues, gifts, pledges and other services that they must pay for the LPCP does not pay anyone for their work to our organization. We are strictly ALL Volunteer’s !!! …

And That is Why the

LPCP is Different From Any Other Organization!

Susan Church Permanent Makeup Education known as ‘The International Institute of Permanent Cosmetics’ is a nationally recognized educational organization, founded by world-renown industry authority Susan Church. Her expertise as a Permanent Makeup Artist combined with her personally-developed training methods makes Susan the most coveted Permanent Cosmetics educator in the business. SCPME/IIPC is arguably the most prestigious and successful Permanent Cosmetics Institute in the world, and has been setting and exceeding industry standards since its inception.

Ms. Church has been in the beauty industry since 1967 and started her career in the permanent makeup industry in 1988.

Since 1988 Ms. Church, of the International Institute of Permanent Cosmetics (IIPC), has developed techniques in “Inkless Applications” that restore melanocytes in damaged tissue, or skin disorders that were congenital. She introduced her technique of Skin Needling after discovering that the process aided in restoring collagen to damaged areas and promoting skin terger. With this discovery, Ms. Church has performed numerous procedures that have provided children with these conditions a better chance of normalcy and an ability to develop their self-esteem.

IIPC has been called the ‘Pioneer’ in permanent makeup training and education. When it all started, Ms. Church simply saw an opportunity to expand on a course of action that someone else had started. Students revere IIPC and companies are always trying to emulate her. This in itself speaks volumes.

Ms. Church has educated thousands of professionals in the medical, dental and beauty industry, many of which have gone on to become instructors.

Ms. Church has worked in concert with dozens of physicians lecturing at medical venues, and has learned from them as well.

By continuously establishing and exceeding the standards held by the Permanent Makeup Industry, SCPME/IIPC and Susan Church remain the authorities in Permanent Cosmetic Education and Products.

Ms. Church has also developed a skincare line that works in concert with the Skin Needling procedures. These products stimulate and repair damaged tissue to make clients look years younger.
