Karla Cosmetics
Mid-Range“UK indie label obsessed with multichrome and duochrome color.”
Karla Cosmetics is a UK-based indie makeup brand founded in 2013 by international award-winning makeup artist Karla Powell. The brand earned a cult following in the indie eyeshadow community for its intensely shifting multichrome and duochrome pigments — loose and pressed shadows that flip through multiple colors depending on the light — sold through specialist retailers like Camera Ready Cosmetics and Alcone alongside its own store.
Powell's background as a working makeup artist and educator shaped a range built around artistry rather than trends, anchored by the Opal Multichrome loose eyeshadows and Shadow Potion paints. Karla Cosmetics remains a reference point for color-shifting makeup, frequently compared against drugstore and indie multichrome alternatives by enthusiasts hunting the most dramatic shift for the price.
