Curtain Call Set & Smooth Loose Powder
Summary of Reviews
About-Face Curtain Call Loose Setting Powder in Veil is praised as airy, blurring, and lightweight, with a finish that sets makeup without looking super matte. Morgan Turner (former professional wedding makeup artist) calls it "quite literally perfect," noting it doesn't darken or leave a ghostly cast. Several creators recommend it for under-eyes and all-over use, especially if you prefer a soft, comfortable powder over a heavy matte.
