Bring the pain.
Welcome to theFace Off season finale.
After a globe-spanning season that was bolder and more extreme than ever before, just three artists remain.
Tyler, the amount of reference that is in your head, that is something that other people can't catch up with.
I really want to push myself to freaking get that win.
Rashaad, you are an amazing painter.
You've done some beautiful work.
My dream is to make monsters and creatures for the rest of my life.
Winning Face Off will put me that much closer to my dream.
George, your ability to sculpt is fantastic.
I want to win it.
My newborn girl that's coming, this is for her.
But their epic quest for makeup immortality Frustrating.
will push them to the edge.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck? That didn't dry at all.
I could just kiss the grand prize good-bye.
I'm under pressure here.
I mean, it's tough.
Tyler, we can't mold this.
This is the finale, and I feel like I'm blowing it.
And it all culminates in an electrifying final performance.
Yeah! In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Makeup to one of their a brand-new 2014 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Face Off! Welcome toFace Off.
Being in the finale means everything to me.
I'm very proud how I fought tooth and nail to get here, and now I'm ready.
I'm ready to show some more of what I've got.
Rashaad! - Daddy! - Hi, baby.
On the computer is my girlfriend and my son.
It's just a rush, you know, just to hear their voice.
Aaron, you being good? N-- My girlfriend, she looks amazing.
You're staying focused, right? - Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
- Good.
I can't wait to hold her again.
- Valeria! - Baby! My beautiful, lovely wife, Valeria is right there.
Don't make me cry.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I won't cry either.
Don't worry.
You don't know how much you miss someone until you're such a long time apart from them.
I've been thinking about you all the time.
Okay, now don't cry.
No crying.
Okay.
No crying.
No crying.
I'm part of the final three! - Are you kidding me? - Yeah! - No.
- Oh, my God! That's awesome! It's a warm, welcoming feeling to see my parents.
Everything is good.
Hurry up and win.
Yes.
Let me see your belly.
Wow! Seeing them today is a boost because it puts back into the forefront why I'm here and why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Can I see the belly? Can I see the belly? - Sure.
- Holy shit! - Oh, my-- - Very low.
Baby is right there, man.
That belly is so cool.
I'm like, "Baby, you hold there, okay? Papa's coming soon.
" This whole competition has made me believe more in myself and really push the limits, and I'm just very proud to be your son, so-- Good answer.
My parents, no matter what, are gonna be so proud of me.
All right.
Well, I'll see you guys soon.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Love you.
All right.
Love you too.
- Mwah, mwah, mwah.
- Mwah.
I just can't wait to see what this finale's gonna bring.
That was awesome.
That was great, dude, like, made my day, man.
- Definitely did.
- Here we go.
Whoa.
What do we got? What do we got? Oh, my God.
We get to the lab and there's, like, stars and lasers, and we're like, "Whoa.
" I can't wait to see what the challenge is gonna be about.
Congratulations and welcome to the finale.
- Ohh.
- Thank you.
As promised, this has been the season of extremes, and this challenge is no exception.
High-profile SyFy franchises like Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Defiance have introduced audiences to entirely new races of aliens.
So with that in mind, your final spotlight challenge is to create two rival alien races.
- Ohh! - Oh, my God.
This is awesome.
I am getting so pumped right now because I love space and aliens, but there's always that twist, so I wonder what's comin'.
You'll each select one of these constellations to inspire your makeups.
We have Ursa Major, The Great Bear, Leo, The Lion, Pegasus, The Winged-Horse, and Cetus, The Whale.
Tyler, you're up first.
George.
And Rashaad.
All right, we have a lot of work ahead of you and there is a lot at stake here.
So I brought some talented artists to help you out.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! - Yes! Awesome! - Welcome back, guys.
- Thank you.
You will each get to choose two of your former competitors to join your team.
George, you get first pick.
I love you all, guys.
Corinne.
- Rashaad.
- Daran.
You got it, man.
- Tyler.
- Graham.
Yeah! - Nico.
- What's goin' on? Cat.
Chloe.
Okay, before you get started, there is one thing that I haven't told you yet.
Your final creations must withstand a mind-blowing dance performance, complete with a live audience three days from now at an underground nightclub with a special guest artist, who happens to be here today.
He has collaborated with everyone from Adele to MIA.
Please welcome music producer, DJ Extraordinary, Rusko.
- How are you? - Awesome.
Really cool.
- Hey, guys.
- I am super excited.
I love his music.
This is gonna be very amazing.
Thank you so much for being here.
I can't tell you how excited I am for this.
All right, now, Rusko has one more piece of information about your challenge.
A huge part of my dance music is an awesome laser light show, so what I want you guys to do is incorporate lights into your designs and your makeup.
Oh, boy.
This is gonna be a challenge.
On top of two aliens, they have to be lit up.
- That's crazy.
- All right, guys.
Our friends at Kryolan will be supplying you with a revolutionary new product called Aquacolor Plus.
Unlike other water-based paints, these colors don't bleed into one another.
- Oh, hey.
- That'll be nice.
All right, I'll be by later on with my dad to check in on your progress.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
We got six hours to start getting together a concept and start creating our two rival alien races.
Okay.
Constellation.
Here we go.
Let's see the description.
What would be two opposing, like, aquatic creatures? I got the Cetus constellation, which is also known as The Whale.
It's all aquatic, so I'm thinking for the female, she's gonna have a jellyfish feel to her, and then for him he's gonna be more crustaceous, which will give him a more powerful look.
Nico, you get this flower goin' for the chest of the girl.
Okay.
These two races of aliens, we have a gentle race and the aggressive race.
Leo represents the lion, and my concept is the battle between brightness and darkness.
They're evil.
I want to do that-- the spike dread things with the lights.
The female is more elegant, and the male alien is gonna be a dark character, very demonic looking.
- You want to do - The lioness.
Like, lion noses on each of 'em essentially? Not lion noses.
Kind of like an-- Okay, maybe an alien version of that.
Yeah, I got a really good team here.
I mean, I have Graham who can mold to perfection, and Chloe is excellent at beauty makeup.
They're both very, very strong artists.
One of the things that stands out for me about Ursa Major is that it's one of the brightest infrared galaxies.
I want our female alien to have bioluminescence, so the male hunts the females to kill them and take their light and use it so that they can actually see.
They're gonna have different color schemes because I really want these alien rivals to have a night and day feel to them.
Rounded over or pointed kind of? You can round it.
- Okay.
- Nice.
So, Daran is working on these silicone pieces that are gonna go on our female character.
Cat breaks off to work on the female face, and I do the male face.
You know, I want to sculpt the faces.
It's the first thing the judges are gonna see.
Corinne is working on the female cowl.
Something more flowy to the back.
Okay.
And Nico is gonna block out the female chest, which is gonna be like a sea flower of light that's gonna glow out of silicone, so it looks like the power of the red star of the constellation is emanating from her from within.
Nice, Nicolai.
Hey, guys.
Here for walkthrough.
- Hey! - Hey.
Let's see what you have.
The female is gonna be the gentle race and the male race is going to be evil, so we're really thinking he would have these really cool dreads that have the lights coming down.
These are what is interesting because this can be an alien type of ***.
Is there anything else you're putting in here that speaks of lion? Even on a nose to give a little of the feline look to it.
So, kind of maybe bulk out a little bit of the tops? I would maybe get a little bit of a muzzle into it.
Okay.
We got Cetus constellation.
- The Whale.
- Yeah, The Whale.
It has that aquatic quality to it, so-- Is she supposed to be pretty? Uh-- If you want to definitely know it's a female, be able to see her human lips as opposed to covering them up and, you know, makin' it fish-like or something like that.
Something to think about.
Beautiful.
I want to make the female more light heavy, keeping her very smooth, everything round, and then with the male it's gonna be pointed and everything jagged, almost skeletal.
Now, remember though, in your paint jobs, that this has to show from 10, 20 feet away, 'cause you've done a lot of detail, and I'd hate to see you lose it.
You don't want to lose that.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
All right, everybody.
We're heading out.
Can't wait to see your finale.
Good luck to everybody.
There's a lot of creativity goin' on.
Keep it goin'.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
Bye! Tyler, we can't mold these faces.
I'm in the middle of sculpting, and I'm running out of time at this point.
This whole competition, I've always got my face piece ready to go for foam on the first day, but not this challenge.
Yeah, we're gonna have to figure out the light strips.
Yeah, that's, like, the least of my worries though.
I have to worry about the performance, the lights, and two completely different faces.
I am scared and nervous as hell because this is the finale, and I feel like I'm blowing it.
Coming up That didn't dry at all.
I could just kiss the grand prize good-bye.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck? We got a gigantic rip.
The winner of Face Off is-- - We're gonna have to figure out the light strips.
Yeah, that's, like, the least of my worries though.
It's day one of our rival alien challenge, and I just feel so behind.
I'm realizing that I'm not gonna have anything molded by the end of the day.
We still have a lot of work to do.
It's driving me crazy, but this is the finale.
This is not the time to rush 'cause the details count.
Concentrate on getting 'em perfect.
That's time, guys.
By the end of the day, we've got our faces detailed.
They just need some last minute touch-up work.
I know tomorrow's gonna be busy, but I'm here to win Face Off and that's what I'm gonna do.
Let's do this, guys.
It's day two of the rival alien challenge, and I've got a lot to do.
The main goal is to finish everything for the female alien and tomorrow get everything done with the male.
You could do some kind of a patterny type thing that goes down the center.
Exactly.
So we have somewhere to pop - The little bulbs.
- Silicon, yeah.
And we got to put lights everywhere in the makeups and probably battery packs and all kinds of cables, and it's gonna make things a little bit more complex.
First thing I do is jump into Corinne's cowl and start detailing it.
After I get that, I jump into Nico's chest and start the finishing touches.
All set? I'm taking Mr.
Westmore's advice, and I'm gonna incorporate the lion aspect of the constellation into my sculpture, and Chloe is focusing on the female cowl while Graham is molding the first face.
It's like this assembly line kind of thing, and it's really great to know that I don't have to worry about molding because Graham is the mold master.
Seeing 'em next to each other looks so cool.
I start working on the faces while cat is blocking out the cowl, and Daran's sculpting the chest plate for the female.
I want to get both of the faces run in foam latex by the end of the day.
They're looking good.
We want to incorporate some vacuform sections into our different sculpts, because I want to give the illusion of layers.
That's pretty good.
The sculpt that Chloe's working on, we cut a section from the back of the head to give the sense that this thing has a functioning brain.
The male chest will have this illuminated vacuform plate, which is gonna hold the lights, and then a ribcage go over it so when the layers are lit up, the effect in the chest will be intensified.
I'm afraid.
She's already got that goin' on.
- Oh, that shape? - Yeah.
Even though both of my aliens come from the constellation Ursa Major, I really want these two to be different because they have to be rivals.
A female has a raised point in the back of her head, but I don't want to do that with the male's cowl, so I hack off a big section of it and go a different direction.
You can make it like a hard crab shell cap.
You know, like the bottom of a turtle? - Yeah, there you go.
- I get what you're sayin'.
All right, guys! It's time! - All right.
- Excelente.
By the end of day two, we got most of our molds done for the female.
We can't run 'em in foam yet because we're running some of these parts in silicone to make that bioluminescence quality to them.
We got a lot to do yet.
The pressure is on.
It wears on you, you know? It really gets into your head.
- See what we got.
- Yeah! It's day three of our rival alien challenge, and we have 9 1/2 hours in the lab.
What do you think? That looks lovely.
Oh, fuck.
The female alien face ripped right here.
This is not good.
It's the last day to sculpt, and we still have to finish everything for the male, so there's no time to try to patch this thing.
I got to run it again.
All right.
Let's get goin'.
It's just roughed out, you know? That looks awesome.
Chloe and I are touching up all the final details in all the sculpts and Graham is getting everything molded today.
This is the last challenge, and everything's startin' to come together, and I have a shot.
I want to win this thing.
- We got 2:20 on the clock.
- All right.
Cat's molding the cowl and she's being very detailed in the way she does it because it's one of our key pieces.
This thing has a difficult wall.
I'm a little worried because this thing has to cure before we can even pop it and get it run in foam.
All right.
After I finish the cowl I move on to the male chest piece and back piece, which are very important because they have lighting emanating from the chest, both of them.
That's what connects them from the same planet.
I'm sculpting them as fast as I can, but I'm on the clock.
I'm under pressure here.
I mean, it's tough.
_ We don't want to rush the mold drying process, but it's gettin' down to, like, the last ten minutes.
Let's do it, son.
We let it sit as long as possible.
Now we've got to try and open this thing, and get it out in foam.
Oh, my God.
Look.
What the fuck? _ Our mold didn't set.
This is definitely not a good position to be in.
I have no idea what to do.
This key piece I need for the big finale makeup might not be there.
What are we doin'? I could just kiss the grand prize good-bye.
Where we at? Where we at? It's day three of our rival alien challenge, and we're running out of time.
Oh, my God.
Look.
_ This is not a good thing.
You don't want to open a wet mold because then you ruin your detail layer, and that's the most important layer of the molding process.
- All right.
- I say we leave it alone.
- Sweet.
- And just let it sit? Yeah, 'cause if in the morning it's dry, then at least we can polyfoam.
_ That's time, guys! All right.
Frustrating.
I really want this cowl to be foam latex rather than running it in polyfoam, especially with a dance.
Once polyfoam dries, it doesn't allow the same flexibility.
All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and just hope for the best.
- Wardrobe? - Yup.
All right.
Polyfoam, polyfoam.
It's application day.
We have four hours in the lab, one hour at last looks.
Either it works or it don't.
Our biggest concern of all of this is having the cowl.
- We got one beautiful side.
- Yes, sir.
And one horrendous side.
We had our fingers crossed it would be perfect, and it's not.
This alien got burned.
That sets us apart.
Now I have to clean it out, get it prepped for polyfoam, and it'll be ready to go.
Get to work.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck? Holy shit.
That one is bad.
We got a gigantic rip on the face of the male character.
It's like, "Oh, my God.
Another rip.
" Yeah, we'll have to, like, glue it.
This is not good.
I just Crazy Glue it and then cover patch it.
I do want to take my time to make it beautiful.
I mean, it's the finale.
While I'm patching it up, Corinne is cutting out the silicone pieces and glue them down.
Nico's gonna work on the props.
We're trying to go as fast as we can.
- Hello.
- Christian.
Christian, how are you? I'm Tyler.
Nice to meet you.
Our models arrive and Chloe and I start applying everything.
Wow, that already looks really cool.
Without them even painted they look amazing.
I'm just so excited.
Yeah, that's gonna be cool.
It starts with here.
Oh, I see beauty.
We start opening the mold, and it takes us a while, but we get it out.
She's beat up but she's useable.
We'll have to make it a scar, make it a burn from battle damage, but we got our cowl.
It's all damage.
Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
Yeah, boy! Every edge is smooth, Nico? Most of it.
Patching the face took me a little while, and it threw me a little bit behind.
Just seam this so it looks pristine.
Now we got to hurry up and finish applying everything, but I'm running out of time.
Oh, boy.
I start prepainting everything and it looks so cool.
Chloe's startin' on the base coat and him in the red, it's like, "Wow, there's such a crazy contrast.
" These things are really gonna hold up and really look well on stage.
No, Rashaad.
That's too slow.
Do it.
Do it.
We still got to glue lights in.
We're just rushing to get everything applied and painted.
We're really under the gun here, and I don't want to do everything in last looks.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
That's ten minutes, everyone! All right, everyone! That's time! Brushes down.
Time is up and we got everything applied, but we don't have no paint on it yet.
My God, we got so much to do.
It's like, "Oh, my God.
" Nerve-racking.
All this is very stressful.
- All right! - For the last time.
Yeah.
All right, everybody.
Feel privileged.
Greg's on the other side doin' makeup.
Going into last looks, not only do we get to work on our characters but the backup dancers are also in the room with us, and who's in charge of that? Greg Cannom.
This guy's resume goes way back.
I mean, from Dracula to Mrs.
Doubtfire.
I mean, whoa.
_ There's so much to do in an hour.
We have to finish painting.
I have to make sure the side of my female's face looks like a burn, make sure that our LED lights are working and a million other details, but I'm not worried because I have a great team and we're gonna get it done.
I'm not happy with the paint job.
I think it's too muddy.
I'm also concerned about my aliens lookin' too similar, but I'm running out of time, so I just want to get it done.
I'm using Kryolan's Aquacolor Plus.
It doesn't bleed into other colors.
It's so cool, and everything's going smoothly.
Chloe's doing gorgeous beauty makeup on the female's eyes to really make her pearl essence pop.
We got 15 minutes left, guys.
I think we should turn on the lights 'cause we don't want to forget that.
Get it goin', guy.
Get it goin'.
Want to punch it up or turn it down? All right, guys! That's it! It's time! I have two complete characters, and I think they look amazing.
Everybody's work is great, so you'd never know, but I'm thinkin' maybe I got a shot.
Coming up Welcome to the Face Off season finale.
This over here looks like damage.
This is it.
This is everything I've worked for.
All right, Glenn.
Who is the winner of Face Off? Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome McKenzie Westmore.
Welcome to theFace Offseason finale.
Tonight, our artist's creations will be taking part in an incredible dance performance featuring one of the world's top DJs, Rusko.
For their final spotlight challenge, I asked each of our finalists to create two rival alien races inspired by a constellation, and because our theme tonight is all about light, they were also required to incorporate lighted elements into their designs.
With that, I'd like to introduce you to our incredibly talented and accomplished judges.
First, we have owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
Three time Oscar-winning makeup artist, Ve Neill.
Creature and concept designer, Neville Page.
All right, it's time to see our finalists' phenomenal creations.
Our first pair of makeups is from Tyler, and they were inspired by the constellation Leo.
Let's take a look.
Let's go Tyler.
I'm not nervous.
This is like a celebration.
I am so proud of myself and my team.
I believe these are the coolest characters I've done in this competition.
I'm feelin' pretty good because we pulled something together that most people would have thought impossible.
Everybody was worried about us, but they look amazing.
I'm proud of my team.
I'm proud of what we accomplished.
I'm loving the way they look.
Okay, guys.
We are just getting started.
Now it's time to put these aliens to the test.
Performing his hit Lift Me Up, give it up for internationally acclaimed music producer and DJ, Rusko.
'cause everybody needs love they never seem to get enough to show you what it's made of just need you to lift me up 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love Needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love Oh, my God! Give it up one more time for Rusko! Give it up for the dancers.
Hello? All right, guys.
Thank you so much for being with us tonight.
Now it is time for our judges to take a closer look at the makeups and deliberate in private.
Thank you for joining us.
Such a complicated sculpt.
What's interesting is his lighting is extraordinarily subtle.
Can you turn around for us, please? He's got the lights in here as well.
That's a lot to integrate.
It feels very crustacean.
It makes sense.
This is really different.
I like it.
Odd decision when you have the chance to create two separate things, to make them so similar.
You know what? I think the thing that makes 'em similar is the paint job.
Wow! This over here looks like damage.
I'm ready to pass out because this is everything that I've worked for.
There's a lot of emergency repair happening here.
That side of the face came out bad, and I know that the judges are gonna notice it too.
Who made your favorite alien rivals? Tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff.
This over here looks like damage.
I know that that side of the face came out bad, but I want them to notice that there's a complete character.
I love how this flows into this stuff so that we can see the light through.
It's very celestial feeling.
Thank you.
That is so beautiful.
Can you turn to the side? I do love the colors.
Love the palette.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's gorgeous.
Thanks.
Bare your teeth as much as you-- - Oh, that's wild.
- Yeah, it is.
I dig that, and now open with it real wide like that.
Yeah.
That's super cool.
- Amazing teeth.
- Yeah.
Wow! Beautiful paint job.
- Wow! - Look at that.
- That's beautiful.
- That's a chest.
I've never seen anything like that.
That form on the chest? - That is gorgeous.
- Gorgeous.
Thank you.
All right, judges.
How did they do tonight? I was thoroughly impressed.
Everyone did a massive amount of work and all of it is so detailed.
I couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you.
All right, the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Tyler, you're up first.
Tyler, tell us about your aliens and how your constellation inspired your work.
My constellation was Leo.
My female alien represents peace and elegance and their essence is their bright light, and my rival wants nothing but darkness.
There are some incredibly well done things on these makeups, Tyler.
Thank you.
I do like the multitudinous layering of the plates on your male character.
It feels like functional organic armor.
Good.
I think you've done two really beautiful, cohesive makeups.
I especially like your female.
I love those subtle colors, the blues and the lavenders.
Your male has some really interesting things going on.
Can you turn him around for us? I just love the transition into the paler colors so that you can really see that skeletal treatment.
Very well done.
Thank you very much.
Really great stuff.
On your female, that plainer nose and havin' the nostrils on the side was a really nice way of treating it, and as for your guy, I love the depth you've achieved in his chest.
It looks like this guy is hollow.
- Yeah.
- Congratulations.
Thank you very much, guys.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Rashaad, you're next.
Rashaad, tell us about your rival aliens and how your constellation inspired your creations.
Well, the constellation that I got was Ursa Major.
She's a hunter on her planet, but his race has no problem hunting them because they shine so much, so they're easy to find and they kill them and take their light.
I got to tell you, I think you did an excellent job.
I really love the coloration on your male.
It's so striking.
I noticed that your female has what appears to be some sort of a burn on the side of her head.
Very much a happy accident with the molding process.
Since they're supposed to be fighting, we thought a scar would be great on her face.
I think it was very successful because that's exactly what it does look like.
Really cool characters, honey.
Thank you.
The palette is beautiful, and the two of them have a great contrast in warm and cool.
The bioluminescent sternocleidomastoid feature is so beautiful.
When she came out and the lights were out, it was one of the most powerful uses of light on a character.
It's a gorgeous sculpt.
That's what we're lookin' for.
Great stuff.
Thank you.
Your female character is so celestial.
My first impression was, "How could they possibly have worked the lighting out that well?" It looks like you'd had weeks to think about just the lighting.
With your male character, I could see all of the inspirational notes that you're taking from nature to create rival alien species.
I couldn't be more pleased with the beautiful work that everyone did on your team.
Thank you.
George, you're next.
Tell us about your alien rivals and the constellation inspiration.
I choose the constellation of Cetus.
The red emanating from each of their chests is the last source of power that arise from the red star, the dying star.
It's some of the most gorgeous work that I've seen you do in particular.
Thanks.
The male character, his head and his shoulders, it's a gorgeous bit of sculptural work right there.
Congratulations to you and the team.
- Yeah.
- Did some beautiful work there.
It's some of the finest sculptural work that we've seen.
The male character is awe-inspiring.
That combination of forms is something I've never seen, and I'm particularly fond of your female in profile.
However, in terms of the color, I understand that you were trying to unify your characters, but at the same time, them being rivals is wholly absent in a visual manner.
You did a really remarkable job of creating two really beautiful characters, and the sculpting is really good.
Well done, George.
Thank you so much, Ve.
All right, guys.
The judges have heard what you have to say.
If you'd please head backstage while they decide who will become this season's champion.
Thank you.
All right, judges, let's talk about our finalists tonight.
Let's start with Tyler.
I did love the female.
Really beautiful paint job.
Those subtle, beautiful, luminescent quality that he put on it with that pale lavender.
Not so much the red guy.
It had, like, a weird sea anemone nose on it.
But the skeletal forms that he's chosen to do, they were handled so well around the eyes and in the detail that makes it a good-looking piece.
He did a really great treatment of that chest.
It really did look like there was almost nothing behind there.
He has been such a strong competitor all season.
His dragon was incredibly strong.
He pulled off incredible rendition of the mouth belly gag.
Tyler is visionary.
He's got such cool designs, and he has the skills to execute them.
All right, let's move on to Rashaad.
He had the constellation Ursa Major.
Well, I loved the color choices, especially on that aqua and purpley-blue guy, and the female had the strongest light element.
Wow! It was stunning.
The sculpting work that he did on his male character was just gorgeous.
The precision and the craft within it was incredible.
Looking at how successful the integration of the light is on the female, he couldn't have done that any better.
And as the season has progressed, he has just gotten better and better and better.
Out of 14 challenges, he was only on the bottom once.
I mean, that's pretty amazing.
I mean, he was either on the top or safe every other time.
All right, let's finish up with George.
He had the constellation cetus.
That sculpt was so good on the male.
He's such a strong designer, such a strong sculptor, and I love the female head.
I love the female head in profile.
I definitely love it from the back.
What did you think about the lighting? It was obvious that that brown paint had obscured the light source unfortunately.
It didn't so much on the female because she had that big crest going on.
One thing that George has shown consistently throughout the entire season is his sculpting prowess.
He knows form in ways that I don't think most makeup artists do.
That's a pretty amazing gift to have.
All right, judges, have you made your decision? - Yes, we have.
- Yup.
All right, let's bring 'em back out.
Okay, one of you is about to be crowned the winner of Face Off.
Glenn, tell us about tonight's makeups.
Tyler, your characters were incredibly successful in embracing the lighted elements, and we particularly loved the beautiful iridescent paint job of your female alien.
Rashaad, we thought you had some really exciting conceptual ideas, and the lighting design on your female alien made her feel almost angelic.
George, using a dying star as the source of power in the crux of your character's relationship was very clever, and the sculpting on your male's head is some of the best we've ever seen.
All right, Glenn, who is the winner ofFace Off? The winner of Face Off is-- - All right, Glenn, who is the winner of Face Off? The winner ofFace Offis Rashaad.
Congratulations! This is gonna change my life.
In the beginning I was always questioning, "Do I have what it takes? Am I good enough for this?" I guess I am.
Here are the keys - Awesome.
- to your new car.
Rashaad freakin' deserved it, man.
- He's such an amazing artist.
- Take a breath.
- Ohh.
- Are you all right? - Oh, yeah.
- Brother.
I got to be in the finale with two amazing guys, and I got to showcase all my work in front of millions of people.
How cool is that? I don't feel like a loser.
I was in the finale for crying out loud.
That's a winner in its own.
I've learned to push myself, take advice, and just branch from there.
WinningFace Off changes a life.
I was working 24/7 wanting to do more for my family.
Not to mention my dream of coming out here and starting a studio and being a makeup artist.
I feel like this is a dream, and one day I'm just gonna wake up, and it's not gonna be here, but, it's happened.
It's really happened.
- Oh, boy.
The other contestants are so strong.
This is it.
No more holdin' back.
I can give it a fight.
Bring the pain.
Welcome to theFace Off season finale.
After a globe-spanning season that was bolder and more extreme than ever before, just three artists remain.
Tyler, the amount of reference that is in your head, that is something that other people can't catch up with.
I really want to push myself to freaking get that win.
Rashaad, you are an amazing painter.
You've done some beautiful work.
My dream is to make monsters and creatures for the rest of my life.
Winning Face Off will put me that much closer to my dream.
George, your ability to sculpt is fantastic.
I want to win it.
My newborn girl that's coming, this is for her.
But their epic quest for makeup immortality Frustrating.
will push them to the edge.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck? That didn't dry at all.
I could just kiss the grand prize good-bye.
I'm under pressure here.
I mean, it's tough.
Tyler, we can't mold this.
This is the finale, and I feel like I'm blowing it.
And it all culminates in an electrifying final performance.
Yeah! In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Makeup to one of their a brand-new 2014 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic? Face Off! Welcome toFace Off.
Being in the finale means everything to me.
I'm very proud how I fought tooth and nail to get here, and now I'm ready.
I'm ready to show some more of what I've got.
Rashaad! - Daddy! - Hi, baby.
On the computer is my girlfriend and my son.
It's just a rush, you know, just to hear their voice.
Aaron, you being good? N-- My girlfriend, she looks amazing.
You're staying focused, right? - Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
- Good.
I can't wait to hold her again.
- Valeria! - Baby! My beautiful, lovely wife, Valeria is right there.
Don't make me cry.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I won't cry either.
Don't worry.
You don't know how much you miss someone until you're such a long time apart from them.
I've been thinking about you all the time.
Okay, now don't cry.
No crying.
Okay.
No crying.
No crying.
I'm part of the final three! - Are you kidding me? - Yeah! - No.
- Oh, my God! That's awesome! It's a warm, welcoming feeling to see my parents.
Everything is good.
Hurry up and win.
Yes.
Let me see your belly.
Wow! Seeing them today is a boost because it puts back into the forefront why I'm here and why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Can I see the belly? Can I see the belly? - Sure.
- Holy shit! - Oh, my-- - Very low.
Baby is right there, man.
That belly is so cool.
I'm like, "Baby, you hold there, okay? Papa's coming soon.
" This whole competition has made me believe more in myself and really push the limits, and I'm just very proud to be your son, so-- Good answer.
My parents, no matter what, are gonna be so proud of me.
All right.
Well, I'll see you guys soon.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Love you.
All right.
Love you too.
- Mwah, mwah, mwah.
- Mwah.
I just can't wait to see what this finale's gonna bring.
That was awesome.
That was great, dude, like, made my day, man.
- Definitely did.
- Here we go.
Whoa.
What do we got? What do we got? Oh, my God.
We get to the lab and there's, like, stars and lasers, and we're like, "Whoa.
" I can't wait to see what the challenge is gonna be about.
Congratulations and welcome to the finale.
- Ohh.
- Thank you.
As promised, this has been the season of extremes, and this challenge is no exception.
High-profile SyFy franchises like Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Defiance have introduced audiences to entirely new races of aliens.
So with that in mind, your final spotlight challenge is to create two rival alien races.
- Ohh! - Oh, my God.
This is awesome.
I am getting so pumped right now because I love space and aliens, but there's always that twist, so I wonder what's comin'.
You'll each select one of these constellations to inspire your makeups.
We have Ursa Major, The Great Bear, Leo, The Lion, Pegasus, The Winged-Horse, and Cetus, The Whale.
Tyler, you're up first.
George.
And Rashaad.
All right, we have a lot of work ahead of you and there is a lot at stake here.
So I brought some talented artists to help you out.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! - Yes! Awesome! - Welcome back, guys.
- Thank you.
You will each get to choose two of your former competitors to join your team.
George, you get first pick.
I love you all, guys.
Corinne.
- Rashaad.
- Daran.
You got it, man.
- Tyler.
- Graham.
Yeah! - Nico.
- What's goin' on? Cat.
Chloe.
Okay, before you get started, there is one thing that I haven't told you yet.
Your final creations must withstand a mind-blowing dance performance, complete with a live audience three days from now at an underground nightclub with a special guest artist, who happens to be here today.
He has collaborated with everyone from Adele to MIA.
Please welcome music producer, DJ Extraordinary, Rusko.
- How are you? - Awesome.
Really cool.
- Hey, guys.
- I am super excited.
I love his music.
This is gonna be very amazing.
Thank you so much for being here.
I can't tell you how excited I am for this.
All right, now, Rusko has one more piece of information about your challenge.
A huge part of my dance music is an awesome laser light show, so what I want you guys to do is incorporate lights into your designs and your makeup.
Oh, boy.
This is gonna be a challenge.
On top of two aliens, they have to be lit up.
- That's crazy.
- All right, guys.
Our friends at Kryolan will be supplying you with a revolutionary new product called Aquacolor Plus.
Unlike other water-based paints, these colors don't bleed into one another.
- Oh, hey.
- That'll be nice.
All right, I'll be by later on with my dad to check in on your progress.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
We got six hours to start getting together a concept and start creating our two rival alien races.
Okay.
Constellation.
Here we go.
Let's see the description.
What would be two opposing, like, aquatic creatures? I got the Cetus constellation, which is also known as The Whale.
It's all aquatic, so I'm thinking for the female, she's gonna have a jellyfish feel to her, and then for him he's gonna be more crustaceous, which will give him a more powerful look.
Nico, you get this flower goin' for the chest of the girl.
Okay.
These two races of aliens, we have a gentle race and the aggressive race.
Leo represents the lion, and my concept is the battle between brightness and darkness.
They're evil.
I want to do that-- the spike dread things with the lights.
The female is more elegant, and the male alien is gonna be a dark character, very demonic looking.
- You want to do - The lioness.
Like, lion noses on each of 'em essentially? Not lion noses.
Kind of like an-- Okay, maybe an alien version of that.
Yeah, I got a really good team here.
I mean, I have Graham who can mold to perfection, and Chloe is excellent at beauty makeup.
They're both very, very strong artists.
One of the things that stands out for me about Ursa Major is that it's one of the brightest infrared galaxies.
I want our female alien to have bioluminescence, so the male hunts the females to kill them and take their light and use it so that they can actually see.
They're gonna have different color schemes because I really want these alien rivals to have a night and day feel to them.
Rounded over or pointed kind of? You can round it.
- Okay.
- Nice.
So, Daran is working on these silicone pieces that are gonna go on our female character.
Cat breaks off to work on the female face, and I do the male face.
You know, I want to sculpt the faces.
It's the first thing the judges are gonna see.
Corinne is working on the female cowl.
Something more flowy to the back.
Okay.
And Nico is gonna block out the female chest, which is gonna be like a sea flower of light that's gonna glow out of silicone, so it looks like the power of the red star of the constellation is emanating from her from within.
Nice, Nicolai.
Hey, guys.
Here for walkthrough.
- Hey! - Hey.
Let's see what you have.
The female is gonna be the gentle race and the male race is going to be evil, so we're really thinking he would have these really cool dreads that have the lights coming down.
These are what is interesting because this can be an alien type of ***.
Is there anything else you're putting in here that speaks of lion? Even on a nose to give a little of the feline look to it.
So, kind of maybe bulk out a little bit of the tops? I would maybe get a little bit of a muzzle into it.
Okay.
We got Cetus constellation.
- The Whale.
- Yeah, The Whale.
It has that aquatic quality to it, so-- Is she supposed to be pretty? Uh-- If you want to definitely know it's a female, be able to see her human lips as opposed to covering them up and, you know, makin' it fish-like or something like that.
Something to think about.
Beautiful.
I want to make the female more light heavy, keeping her very smooth, everything round, and then with the male it's gonna be pointed and everything jagged, almost skeletal.
Now, remember though, in your paint jobs, that this has to show from 10, 20 feet away, 'cause you've done a lot of detail, and I'd hate to see you lose it.
You don't want to lose that.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
All right, everybody.
We're heading out.
Can't wait to see your finale.
Good luck to everybody.
There's a lot of creativity goin' on.
Keep it goin'.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
Bye! Tyler, we can't mold these faces.
I'm in the middle of sculpting, and I'm running out of time at this point.
This whole competition, I've always got my face piece ready to go for foam on the first day, but not this challenge.
Yeah, we're gonna have to figure out the light strips.
Yeah, that's, like, the least of my worries though.
I have to worry about the performance, the lights, and two completely different faces.
I am scared and nervous as hell because this is the finale, and I feel like I'm blowing it.
Coming up That didn't dry at all.
I could just kiss the grand prize good-bye.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck? We got a gigantic rip.
The winner of Face Off is-- - We're gonna have to figure out the light strips.
Yeah, that's, like, the least of my worries though.
It's day one of our rival alien challenge, and I just feel so behind.
I'm realizing that I'm not gonna have anything molded by the end of the day.
We still have a lot of work to do.
It's driving me crazy, but this is the finale.
This is not the time to rush 'cause the details count.
Concentrate on getting 'em perfect.
That's time, guys.
By the end of the day, we've got our faces detailed.
They just need some last minute touch-up work.
I know tomorrow's gonna be busy, but I'm here to win Face Off and that's what I'm gonna do.
Let's do this, guys.
It's day two of the rival alien challenge, and I've got a lot to do.
The main goal is to finish everything for the female alien and tomorrow get everything done with the male.
You could do some kind of a patterny type thing that goes down the center.
Exactly.
So we have somewhere to pop - The little bulbs.
- Silicon, yeah.
And we got to put lights everywhere in the makeups and probably battery packs and all kinds of cables, and it's gonna make things a little bit more complex.
First thing I do is jump into Corinne's cowl and start detailing it.
After I get that, I jump into Nico's chest and start the finishing touches.
All set? I'm taking Mr.
Westmore's advice, and I'm gonna incorporate the lion aspect of the constellation into my sculpture, and Chloe is focusing on the female cowl while Graham is molding the first face.
It's like this assembly line kind of thing, and it's really great to know that I don't have to worry about molding because Graham is the mold master.
Seeing 'em next to each other looks so cool.
I start working on the faces while cat is blocking out the cowl, and Daran's sculpting the chest plate for the female.
I want to get both of the faces run in foam latex by the end of the day.
They're looking good.
We want to incorporate some vacuform sections into our different sculpts, because I want to give the illusion of layers.
That's pretty good.
The sculpt that Chloe's working on, we cut a section from the back of the head to give the sense that this thing has a functioning brain.
The male chest will have this illuminated vacuform plate, which is gonna hold the lights, and then a ribcage go over it so when the layers are lit up, the effect in the chest will be intensified.
I'm afraid.
She's already got that goin' on.
- Oh, that shape? - Yeah.
Even though both of my aliens come from the constellation Ursa Major, I really want these two to be different because they have to be rivals.
A female has a raised point in the back of her head, but I don't want to do that with the male's cowl, so I hack off a big section of it and go a different direction.
You can make it like a hard crab shell cap.
You know, like the bottom of a turtle? - Yeah, there you go.
- I get what you're sayin'.
All right, guys! It's time! - All right.
- Excelente.
By the end of day two, we got most of our molds done for the female.
We can't run 'em in foam yet because we're running some of these parts in silicone to make that bioluminescence quality to them.
We got a lot to do yet.
The pressure is on.
It wears on you, you know? It really gets into your head.
- See what we got.
- Yeah! It's day three of our rival alien challenge, and we have 9 1/2 hours in the lab.
What do you think? That looks lovely.
Oh, fuck.
The female alien face ripped right here.
This is not good.
It's the last day to sculpt, and we still have to finish everything for the male, so there's no time to try to patch this thing.
I got to run it again.
All right.
Let's get goin'.
It's just roughed out, you know? That looks awesome.
Chloe and I are touching up all the final details in all the sculpts and Graham is getting everything molded today.
This is the last challenge, and everything's startin' to come together, and I have a shot.
I want to win this thing.
- We got 2:20 on the clock.
- All right.
Cat's molding the cowl and she's being very detailed in the way she does it because it's one of our key pieces.
This thing has a difficult wall.
I'm a little worried because this thing has to cure before we can even pop it and get it run in foam.
All right.
After I finish the cowl I move on to the male chest piece and back piece, which are very important because they have lighting emanating from the chest, both of them.
That's what connects them from the same planet.
I'm sculpting them as fast as I can, but I'm on the clock.
I'm under pressure here.
I mean, it's tough.
_ We don't want to rush the mold drying process, but it's gettin' down to, like, the last ten minutes.
Let's do it, son.
We let it sit as long as possible.
Now we've got to try and open this thing, and get it out in foam.
Oh, my God.
Look.
What the fuck? _ Our mold didn't set.
This is definitely not a good position to be in.
I have no idea what to do.
This key piece I need for the big finale makeup might not be there.
What are we doin'? I could just kiss the grand prize good-bye.
Where we at? Where we at? It's day three of our rival alien challenge, and we're running out of time.
Oh, my God.
Look.
_ This is not a good thing.
You don't want to open a wet mold because then you ruin your detail layer, and that's the most important layer of the molding process.
- All right.
- I say we leave it alone.
- Sweet.
- And just let it sit? Yeah, 'cause if in the morning it's dry, then at least we can polyfoam.
_ That's time, guys! All right.
Frustrating.
I really want this cowl to be foam latex rather than running it in polyfoam, especially with a dance.
Once polyfoam dries, it doesn't allow the same flexibility.
All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and just hope for the best.
- Wardrobe? - Yup.
All right.
Polyfoam, polyfoam.
It's application day.
We have four hours in the lab, one hour at last looks.
Either it works or it don't.
Our biggest concern of all of this is having the cowl.
- We got one beautiful side.
- Yes, sir.
And one horrendous side.
We had our fingers crossed it would be perfect, and it's not.
This alien got burned.
That sets us apart.
Now I have to clean it out, get it prepped for polyfoam, and it'll be ready to go.
Get to work.
Oh, my God.
What the fuck? Holy shit.
That one is bad.
We got a gigantic rip on the face of the male character.
It's like, "Oh, my God.
Another rip.
" Yeah, we'll have to, like, glue it.
This is not good.
I just Crazy Glue it and then cover patch it.
I do want to take my time to make it beautiful.
I mean, it's the finale.
While I'm patching it up, Corinne is cutting out the silicone pieces and glue them down.
Nico's gonna work on the props.
We're trying to go as fast as we can.
- Hello.
- Christian.
Christian, how are you? I'm Tyler.
Nice to meet you.
Our models arrive and Chloe and I start applying everything.
Wow, that already looks really cool.
Without them even painted they look amazing.
I'm just so excited.
Yeah, that's gonna be cool.
It starts with here.
Oh, I see beauty.
We start opening the mold, and it takes us a while, but we get it out.
She's beat up but she's useable.
We'll have to make it a scar, make it a burn from battle damage, but we got our cowl.
It's all damage.
Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
Yeah, boy! Every edge is smooth, Nico? Most of it.
Patching the face took me a little while, and it threw me a little bit behind.
Just seam this so it looks pristine.
Now we got to hurry up and finish applying everything, but I'm running out of time.
Oh, boy.
I start prepainting everything and it looks so cool.
Chloe's startin' on the base coat and him in the red, it's like, "Wow, there's such a crazy contrast.
" These things are really gonna hold up and really look well on stage.
No, Rashaad.
That's too slow.
Do it.
Do it.
We still got to glue lights in.
We're just rushing to get everything applied and painted.
We're really under the gun here, and I don't want to do everything in last looks.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
That's ten minutes, everyone! All right, everyone! That's time! Brushes down.
Time is up and we got everything applied, but we don't have no paint on it yet.
My God, we got so much to do.
It's like, "Oh, my God.
" Nerve-racking.
All this is very stressful.
- All right! - For the last time.
Yeah.
All right, everybody.
Feel privileged.
Greg's on the other side doin' makeup.
Going into last looks, not only do we get to work on our characters but the backup dancers are also in the room with us, and who's in charge of that? Greg Cannom.
This guy's resume goes way back.
I mean, from Dracula to Mrs.
Doubtfire.
I mean, whoa.
_ There's so much to do in an hour.
We have to finish painting.
I have to make sure the side of my female's face looks like a burn, make sure that our LED lights are working and a million other details, but I'm not worried because I have a great team and we're gonna get it done.
I'm not happy with the paint job.
I think it's too muddy.
I'm also concerned about my aliens lookin' too similar, but I'm running out of time, so I just want to get it done.
I'm using Kryolan's Aquacolor Plus.
It doesn't bleed into other colors.
It's so cool, and everything's going smoothly.
Chloe's doing gorgeous beauty makeup on the female's eyes to really make her pearl essence pop.
We got 15 minutes left, guys.
I think we should turn on the lights 'cause we don't want to forget that.
Get it goin', guy.
Get it goin'.
Want to punch it up or turn it down? All right, guys! That's it! It's time! I have two complete characters, and I think they look amazing.
Everybody's work is great, so you'd never know, but I'm thinkin' maybe I got a shot.
Coming up Welcome to the Face Off season finale.
This over here looks like damage.
This is it.
This is everything I've worked for.
All right, Glenn.
Who is the winner of Face Off? Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome McKenzie Westmore.
Welcome to theFace Offseason finale.
Tonight, our artist's creations will be taking part in an incredible dance performance featuring one of the world's top DJs, Rusko.
For their final spotlight challenge, I asked each of our finalists to create two rival alien races inspired by a constellation, and because our theme tonight is all about light, they were also required to incorporate lighted elements into their designs.
With that, I'd like to introduce you to our incredibly talented and accomplished judges.
First, we have owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
Three time Oscar-winning makeup artist, Ve Neill.
Creature and concept designer, Neville Page.
All right, it's time to see our finalists' phenomenal creations.
Our first pair of makeups is from Tyler, and they were inspired by the constellation Leo.
Let's take a look.
Let's go Tyler.
I'm not nervous.
This is like a celebration.
I am so proud of myself and my team.
I believe these are the coolest characters I've done in this competition.
I'm feelin' pretty good because we pulled something together that most people would have thought impossible.
Everybody was worried about us, but they look amazing.
I'm proud of my team.
I'm proud of what we accomplished.
I'm loving the way they look.
Okay, guys.
We are just getting started.
Now it's time to put these aliens to the test.
Performing his hit Lift Me Up, give it up for internationally acclaimed music producer and DJ, Rusko.
'cause everybody needs love they never seem to get enough to show you what it's made of just need you to lift me up 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love Needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love 'cause everybody needs love, needs love needs love, needs love, needs love, needs love needs love, needs love Oh, my God! Give it up one more time for Rusko! Give it up for the dancers.
Hello? All right, guys.
Thank you so much for being with us tonight.
Now it is time for our judges to take a closer look at the makeups and deliberate in private.
Thank you for joining us.
Such a complicated sculpt.
What's interesting is his lighting is extraordinarily subtle.
Can you turn around for us, please? He's got the lights in here as well.
That's a lot to integrate.
It feels very crustacean.
It makes sense.
This is really different.
I like it.
Odd decision when you have the chance to create two separate things, to make them so similar.
You know what? I think the thing that makes 'em similar is the paint job.
Wow! This over here looks like damage.
I'm ready to pass out because this is everything that I've worked for.
There's a lot of emergency repair happening here.
That side of the face came out bad, and I know that the judges are gonna notice it too.
Who made your favorite alien rivals? Tell us on Twitter using #FaceOff.
This over here looks like damage.
I know that that side of the face came out bad, but I want them to notice that there's a complete character.
I love how this flows into this stuff so that we can see the light through.
It's very celestial feeling.
Thank you.
That is so beautiful.
Can you turn to the side? I do love the colors.
Love the palette.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's gorgeous.
Thanks.
Bare your teeth as much as you-- - Oh, that's wild.
- Yeah, it is.
I dig that, and now open with it real wide like that.
Yeah.
That's super cool.
- Amazing teeth.
- Yeah.
Wow! Beautiful paint job.
- Wow! - Look at that.
- That's beautiful.
- That's a chest.
I've never seen anything like that.
That form on the chest? - That is gorgeous.
- Gorgeous.
Thank you.
All right, judges.
How did they do tonight? I was thoroughly impressed.
Everyone did a massive amount of work and all of it is so detailed.
I couldn't have asked for more.
Thank you.
All right, the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Tyler, you're up first.
Tyler, tell us about your aliens and how your constellation inspired your work.
My constellation was Leo.
My female alien represents peace and elegance and their essence is their bright light, and my rival wants nothing but darkness.
There are some incredibly well done things on these makeups, Tyler.
Thank you.
I do like the multitudinous layering of the plates on your male character.
It feels like functional organic armor.
Good.
I think you've done two really beautiful, cohesive makeups.
I especially like your female.
I love those subtle colors, the blues and the lavenders.
Your male has some really interesting things going on.
Can you turn him around for us? I just love the transition into the paler colors so that you can really see that skeletal treatment.
Very well done.
Thank you very much.
Really great stuff.
On your female, that plainer nose and havin' the nostrils on the side was a really nice way of treating it, and as for your guy, I love the depth you've achieved in his chest.
It looks like this guy is hollow.
- Yeah.
- Congratulations.
Thank you very much, guys.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Rashaad, you're next.
Rashaad, tell us about your rival aliens and how your constellation inspired your creations.
Well, the constellation that I got was Ursa Major.
She's a hunter on her planet, but his race has no problem hunting them because they shine so much, so they're easy to find and they kill them and take their light.
I got to tell you, I think you did an excellent job.
I really love the coloration on your male.
It's so striking.
I noticed that your female has what appears to be some sort of a burn on the side of her head.
Very much a happy accident with the molding process.
Since they're supposed to be fighting, we thought a scar would be great on her face.
I think it was very successful because that's exactly what it does look like.
Really cool characters, honey.
Thank you.
The palette is beautiful, and the two of them have a great contrast in warm and cool.
The bioluminescent sternocleidomastoid feature is so beautiful.
When she came out and the lights were out, it was one of the most powerful uses of light on a character.
It's a gorgeous sculpt.
That's what we're lookin' for.
Great stuff.
Thank you.
Your female character is so celestial.
My first impression was, "How could they possibly have worked the lighting out that well?" It looks like you'd had weeks to think about just the lighting.
With your male character, I could see all of the inspirational notes that you're taking from nature to create rival alien species.
I couldn't be more pleased with the beautiful work that everyone did on your team.
Thank you.
George, you're next.
Tell us about your alien rivals and the constellation inspiration.
I choose the constellation of Cetus.
The red emanating from each of their chests is the last source of power that arise from the red star, the dying star.
It's some of the most gorgeous work that I've seen you do in particular.
Thanks.
The male character, his head and his shoulders, it's a gorgeous bit of sculptural work right there.
Congratulations to you and the team.
- Yeah.
- Did some beautiful work there.
It's some of the finest sculptural work that we've seen.
The male character is awe-inspiring.
That combination of forms is something I've never seen, and I'm particularly fond of your female in profile.
However, in terms of the color, I understand that you were trying to unify your characters, but at the same time, them being rivals is wholly absent in a visual manner.
You did a really remarkable job of creating two really beautiful characters, and the sculpting is really good.
Well done, George.
Thank you so much, Ve.
All right, guys.
The judges have heard what you have to say.
If you'd please head backstage while they decide who will become this season's champion.
Thank you.
All right, judges, let's talk about our finalists tonight.
Let's start with Tyler.
I did love the female.
Really beautiful paint job.
Those subtle, beautiful, luminescent quality that he put on it with that pale lavender.
Not so much the red guy.
It had, like, a weird sea anemone nose on it.
But the skeletal forms that he's chosen to do, they were handled so well around the eyes and in the detail that makes it a good-looking piece.
He did a really great treatment of that chest.
It really did look like there was almost nothing behind there.
He has been such a strong competitor all season.
His dragon was incredibly strong.
He pulled off incredible rendition of the mouth belly gag.
Tyler is visionary.
He's got such cool designs, and he has the skills to execute them.
All right, let's move on to Rashaad.
He had the constellation Ursa Major.
Well, I loved the color choices, especially on that aqua and purpley-blue guy, and the female had the strongest light element.
Wow! It was stunning.
The sculpting work that he did on his male character was just gorgeous.
The precision and the craft within it was incredible.
Looking at how successful the integration of the light is on the female, he couldn't have done that any better.
And as the season has progressed, he has just gotten better and better and better.
Out of 14 challenges, he was only on the bottom once.
I mean, that's pretty amazing.
I mean, he was either on the top or safe every other time.
All right, let's finish up with George.
He had the constellation cetus.
That sculpt was so good on the male.
He's such a strong designer, such a strong sculptor, and I love the female head.
I love the female head in profile.
I definitely love it from the back.
What did you think about the lighting? It was obvious that that brown paint had obscured the light source unfortunately.
It didn't so much on the female because she had that big crest going on.
One thing that George has shown consistently throughout the entire season is his sculpting prowess.
He knows form in ways that I don't think most makeup artists do.
That's a pretty amazing gift to have.
All right, judges, have you made your decision? - Yes, we have.
- Yup.
All right, let's bring 'em back out.
Okay, one of you is about to be crowned the winner of Face Off.
Glenn, tell us about tonight's makeups.
Tyler, your characters were incredibly successful in embracing the lighted elements, and we particularly loved the beautiful iridescent paint job of your female alien.
Rashaad, we thought you had some really exciting conceptual ideas, and the lighting design on your female alien made her feel almost angelic.
George, using a dying star as the source of power in the crux of your character's relationship was very clever, and the sculpting on your male's head is some of the best we've ever seen.
All right, Glenn, who is the winner ofFace Off? The winner of Face Off is-- - All right, Glenn, who is the winner of Face Off? The winner ofFace Offis Rashaad.
Congratulations! This is gonna change my life.
In the beginning I was always questioning, "Do I have what it takes? Am I good enough for this?" I guess I am.
Here are the keys - Awesome.
- to your new car.
Rashaad freakin' deserved it, man.
- He's such an amazing artist.
- Take a breath.
- Ohh.
- Are you all right? - Oh, yeah.
- Brother.
I got to be in the finale with two amazing guys, and I got to showcase all my work in front of millions of people.
How cool is that? I don't feel like a loser.
I was in the finale for crying out loud.
That's a winner in its own.
I've learned to push myself, take advice, and just branch from there.
WinningFace Off changes a life.
I was working 24/7 wanting to do more for my family.
Not to mention my dream of coming out here and starting a studio and being a makeup artist.
I feel like this is a dream, and one day I'm just gonna wake up, and it's not gonna be here, but, it's happened.
It's really happened.
