A local brand that is a pleasant surprise for many. I may not be a big fan of their lipsticks, but all their powder products are impressive (so far). It's a shame, I love collecting lipsticks. Previously I had reviewed the blushes and ended up using a couple of them regularly. They sent a face powder and contour powder for me to test, were those as good as the blushes?
Even though I have heard a lot about Atiqa Odho Cosmetic's contour palette, the feeling is not mutual with the separate contour powder compacts. The shade I got literally just blend into my skin without contouring anything. The overall texture feels too sheer to create any contour, perhaps the same formula as the sheer face powder.
- Only three color options: Walnut, Chocolate and Coffee
- Not too pigmented
- Buttery, matte finish
- Color payoff is not intense and very subtle
- Not long lasting
- Smells pleasant
- Super cheap for just PKR. 400/- only
Overall the products have potential, to be good, but they are not completely there yet. The face powder, at the moment, is serving as a good setting powder, but the contour powder only aids in some pale creative looks I do, subtly.
AVAILABILITY & COST:

I can tell you, from prior experience with the blushes, the brand pays a lot of thought into names. they are very appropriate and fun.
ATIQA ODHO COSMETICS FACE POWDER - ALMOND:
The Atiqa Odho face powders are quite a puzzle for me. I like them but don't know if I can love them. Here is why:
- Super pigmented but light on skin
- Gives a matt effect
- Comes in four shades: Cream, Honey, Almond and Biscuit. I wish there were more options considering these are quite sheer
- SPF 30 which I appreciate. Very few pay attention to SPF in face powders
- Sheer coverage which literally blend into nothing. I actually think it's too sheer but can be used as a great setting powder
- Not very long lasting
- Smell pleasant
- Retails at PKR.500/-
ATIQA ODHO CONTOUR POWDER - CHOCOLATE:
