CONSUELO T. LOPEZ

Hair & Makeup Artist /Designer / EDUCATOR/Cosmetologist / IATSE Local 706

Now rooted in Colorado Springs, Consuelo T. Lopez is a Hair and Makeup Artist at Veda Salon & Spa at Creekwalk, where she brings a deep, diverse skill set to her salon clients. Since relocating, she has also joined a local bridal team, continuing her passion for event and on-location styling.

After years of thriving in the fast pace of major cities, Consuelo chose Colorado for its natural beauty and sense of balance—an ideal setting to return to her roots in the salon world. At Veda, she embraces a more conscious approach to beauty, working with clean, high-performance products that align with her commitment to wellness and artistry.

In 2014, she launched CTL Artistry, a personal brand born out of her desire to fuse creativity, cultural insight, and client empowerment through beauty. The brand reflects the heart of her approach: thoughtful artistry built on global experience and professional integrity.

Before moving to Colorado, Consuelo spent over a decade in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she held a cosmetology license and was an active member of the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild I.A.T.S.E. Local 706. There, she worked across a wide range of productions and served as an instructor at the Academy of Art University, mentoring the next generation of beauty professionals.

Her artistry has crossed borders. For four years, she traveled throughout South America, Central America, and the Caribbean as an International Consultant, Trainer, and Makeup Artist—an experience that expanded her creative perspective and deepened her connection to diverse expressions of beauty.

Consuelo’s journey began on the East Coast, training at the Lia Schorr Institute of Cosmetics in New York City and later specializing in Special Makeup Effects at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

From 2002 to 2010, she built a vibrant career in Miami, Florida, working across editorial, theater, beauty, and wig styling. During this time, she collaborated with respected organizations such as Warner Music Latina, Parfums Givenchy, Florida Grand Opera, and M.A.C., contributing to projects that celebrated both technical skill and visual storytelling.

With a career that bridges continents, cultures, and disciplines, Consuelo T. Lopez continues to bring expertise, intention, and authenticity to every client and creative collaboration.
