Initial Concerns, Ultimately Handled with Professionalism
My first review of this company described a very disappointing customer service experience (rated 1 star) — unanswered messages, generic replies, and a sense of being ignored after two years as a customer.
For me, choosing a brand is strongly influenced by ethics and principles, and I prefer to support companies whose behaviour reflects the creativity and care they put into their products. When this was not reflected in my communications with Karla Cosmetics customer service team, it massively impacted my trust in their ability to resolve larger issues, and made me very uncertain about ongoing engagement with the brand.
I initially reached out to Karla Cosmetics because I’ve genuinely valued the products and wanted to share feedback with a brand I’d supported for some time. Multiple responses fell short of the quality I’d come to expect, which is why I felt compelled to speak up.
The makeup products themselves have always impressed me — low or no cast, high vibrancy, reflective finishes, and multichromes with a truly stunning pigment quality. After much experimentation and research, I’ve regarded them as some of the best on the market with little competition in the UK.
Since posting my earlier review, the owner contacted me personally with a sincere apology and a clear explanation of what went wrong behind the scenes, and how this has been resolved since early October 2025 (the original date of the review) to now (updated review in late November 2025). Her message was thoughtful, detailed, and showed considered ownership of the issues that led to my complaint.
While the initial customer experience journey was undeniably poor, the follow-up has been handled with real care, and I want to acknowledge that publicly. It’s reassuring to see the brand taking steps to strengthen its customer care, and the personal outreach made a meaningful difference — hopefully preventing similar issues for others going forward!
I’m hopeful about the direction the brand is moving in, and I look forward to seeing how Karla Cosmetics continues to grow.
