Face Off (2011) s08e04 Episode Script

The concept feels cohesive.
Looks like a psychedelic artichoke with a bat face.
This is my favorite makeup I've seen on Face Off.
Previously on Face Off, Ben and Darla's cactus ram brought Ben his first win.
Nice.
But Alan fell short and was the first on Team Anthony to be sent home.
Now 13 artists remain, and tonight they'll be dealt their toughest challenge yet.
Having a panic attack right now.
Now I know why people freak out on Face Off.
It's time, everybody.
Ah, shit.
Might be putting a makeup onstage that's not finished.
It's really hard not to love it.
Thank you.
In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-up to one of their a brand-new 2015 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
This is Face Off.
Wow, look at the chandeliers.
We're walking through this really cool casino.
People are gambling.
It's just a beautiful atmosphere.
- Look at this.
- Nice.
We're like, "What's the deal?" I have, like, a million things going through my flipping head.
Hey, guys.
Hey.
Welcome to The Normandie Casino.
This is a popular location for filmmakers in need of that classic Las Vegas look, but it's right here in Hollywood.
It's been featured in movies and television shows like The X-Files, Big Love, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
And whether you're playing Texas hold'em with your poker buddies or screaming "Blackjack" on a casino floor, this week's challenge involves some classic characters you're probably very familiar with.
They make up the royal court of the gaming world.
Nice.
King - Oh, my goodness.
- Queen, jack, and joker.
Nice.
Now, in Tim Burton's Alice In wonderland, Helena Bonham Carter's highly exaggerated version of the red queen of hearts played a pivotal role in establishing the film's outlandishly stylized setting and tone.
So with that in mind, - your first individual - Yes! spotlight challenge is to choose a card and bring that character to life in an outlandish and quirky way worthy of a Tim Burton film.
Oh, my God.
And you must also somehow incorporate your card's suit into your makeup diamond, club, heart, or spade.
If you get the joker, you can choose any suit you want to incorporate into your makeup.
I'm thrilled that it's an individual challenge, 'cause I get to show what I have to offer.
This is awesome.
Jamie, you're first pick.
King of spades.
- King of clubs.
- Jack of spades.
Queen of hearts.
Queen of diamonds.
King of diamonds.
Jack of hearts.
- Joker.
- King of hearts.
- Jack of diamonds.
- Queen of clubs.
Queen of spades.
Jack of clubs.
All right, it's time to get started on your sketches.
Good luck.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
The jack of diamonds is the virtue of patience, so I'm thinking of a character that has been waiting so long, he's just completely old and decrepit.
So it's a whimsical character yet scary at the same time.
My king of diamonds is a greedy, lonely king.
One diamond that a witch gave him is making him sick.
And to push the diamond factor, I'm gonna give him a diamond-shaped face.
I'm excited to have hearts as my suit.
The jack of hearts, specifically, represents jealousy.
So he is the advisor to the king of hearts, but he is secretly in love with the queen, and so he is very jealous of the king.
I'm gonna build his face into a heart shape by sculpting the beard and hair.
I think it's really gonna capture the essence of this challenge.
I get the king of clubs, and the first things that enter my mind are jokes and plays on words.
So I'm doing a king of nightclubs who's this slick, rat pack entertainer.
And if a party needs to be thrown, he's throwing it.
My queen of spades is this judge-like character.
When you walk into her courtroom, it's her decision whether you or you're let free.
The hair will be sculpted into the headpiece, and it'll read like a spade.
_ I'm in trouble.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ All right, everybody, let's go back to the house.
It's day one in the lab.
I have 5 1/2 hours.
I chose king of spades, which is traditionally seen as David in David and Goliath.
So I want to pick a big, burly male model and then style the wig into the shape of a spade.
Finally, it dwindles down to one male model and one female model, and the male model gets chosen.
Now my whole concept has to change.
And it's time to start sculpting, but I have no idea what to do.
So I start sketching it out in clay to see what I can come up with.
Hey! Hey, Laura.
- Hey, guys.
- How you doing? - Hi, guys.
- Hello.
So what are you doing? I have the king of spades, but I have a female model.
Oh.
Gender change is automatically gonna be a challenge, especially with proportions.
- I'd say keep it fun.
- Yeah.
I wouldn't make it too - Serious? - Serious.
And I think you should make it more of a whimsical character so that the judges don't see it as a woman underneath, you know? - A woman underneath a man.
- Yeah.
For my new concept, my king of spades is a very prideful, short man who holds a big sword but looks completely ridiculous.
Okay.
We'll do this.
Okay.
So what you got? Got the jack of clubs.
The jack of clubs represents wisdom, so I immediately think of this older advisor to the king of the underworld, and he helps lead people to the underworld.
I like the cheekbone.
I like how gaunt it is.
I'm sculpting the club form directly on the forehead using the cheekbones as the side of the clubs.
I like the idea that he was branded with the club symbol.
I really see a lot of potential in Julian.
It's an incredible asset to be able to think outside the box.
So I got the king of hearts.
The king is stabbing himself in the head with a knife.
Right, suicide king.
This is my favorite card in the entire deck.
I decide that the king is depressed because the queen of hearts was killed in front of him.
And I chose a female model because I want this king to look long, kind of drawn out, thin.
I like where you're going with it.
Okay, cool.
Oh, this is kind of fun.
Queen of hearts.
Yes, I don't want to go too Alice In Wonderland with it.
Absolutely, yeah, I-- - I'm a little nervous, because it can't look like all the queen of hearts that have been done.
But I do want to take the evil route.
It could be any kind of heart.
So even, like, the human heart is okay? - Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay, all right.
So I decide that she keeps all the hearts of her victims on a picket fence around her neck, and she has a huge, asymmetrical, red wig.
I kind of do love this.
Thank you.
Shit.
I'm not liking what I'm doing right now.
My sculpt looks like a man, not a queen, and now I'm worried.
Doing it.
This is a confused piece.
He's got such a strong brow, a strong nose, a strong chin-- too monster.
Daniel's concept is very scary, very serious-- not really the point of this challenge.
I think you should start again.
I don't believe it.
Anthony wants me to start from scratch, and I have no time.
People are already finishing, but I know if I don't do this, I'm gonna be in trouble, definitely.
Do it? Okay, let's go.
It's the first day of our playing card challenge, and I decide to destroy my sculpture and start again.
I got to think a little bit more, because I need an idea, not just, like, a bunch of clay with nose and ears.
Here we go again.
Hi, everybody.
- Hi.
- Hey, how's it going? It's time to show me what you've been dealt.
I picked the jack of spades, the one-eyed jack.
So he's gonna be a musketeer-style character, and then I'm gonna incorporate the actual spade as a patch on his eye that's actually sewn into his face.
It's more horror Okay, I see what you're saying.
Than it is whimsical and Tim Burton.
- Yeah.
- Be careful with that - Okay.
- so it doesn't look gory.
I have the joker.
I'm thinking of him more as a toy.
I want to do a face in the front and a face in the back with a different expression.
You still have reality going on there, so I would take it and go for the full fantasy.
Okay.
You are in clay hell.
Yeah.
Finally I came up with a new design for my queen of diamonds.
She's so vain, and she collects diamonds, and she eats them, so her lips and face will be a diamond shape.
Elongate the face to create the whole diamond.
- Like this.
- Good, good.
Thank you very much.
My character is the queen of clubs.
My concept is this aged, heavier-set queen, and I want to incorporate the shape of the club in some natural wrinkle lines that complement her face.
I think your whole concept of your symbol is going to get lost.
These things have to have more definition.
You got to be able to see it.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
I think this is ready.
I really want to get this face knocked out for my jack of diamonds.
Yeah, that's better, man.
The mouth is looking really cool 'cause it's sunk in like he's got no teeth, real old-looking.
And now I'm ready to start molding this thing.
Just a little frustrated.
Something's feeling weird about this character right now.
I think that the old age is hindering you.
The wrinkle patterns are blending in with the cheekbones too much, so the club forms need to be a little more obvious.
First idea is not always the best.
This is a pretty big change.
I start scraping the old-age sculpture off of the face, so now I'm making my design thinner and younger, and I think that will help show the shape of the club.
Time is of the essence.
I got to get out of here.
Good luck, all right? All right, you know the direction you're going? I do.
Glad we got a chance to talk.
I'm most concerned about Logan, because I want to make sure that he is pushing his character as far as it will go before he molds it.
See you, guys.
That's time, everybody.
It's the end of day one, and I'm rolling with the punches here.
I changed the sculpt, and I'm happy to have done it.
But I am behind schedule, so I need to be quick tomorrow.
It's day two of our whimsical playing card challenge, and I have 9 1/2 hours and a lot to do.
Good morning.
I have to finish up my face super quick, get my cowl busted out, and get everything molded and cleaned.
It's gonna be sweet.
- Ah! - It's gonna be sweet.
Do it.
Let's do it.
I think it's better.
It's a lot softer.
_ While my face mold is setting up, I move on to the hair.
I'm hoping that by sculpting the hair, it might make mine stand out a little bit more.
So I start rolling out individual noodles of clay and then lining them up along the base structure, and then I'll be smoothing it out, so it doesn't look quite so ridiculous.
I'm feeling a little bit better, but I know it's still a risk to do a gender-swap makeup.
But it's getting a little bit better.
The face is starting to look a little bit more like a man.
But I know I need to spend more time on this.
Yeah, I'd try to get these in the mold room by the five-hour mark.
Gonna have the biggest spade of any spaders.
Since I'm making a musketeer-style character, I want to make the head into a spade shape, so I cut out around the shape, and I start using the heat gun to get some texture into the foam itself.
I'm excited because I've never made a hat like this before.
I've made small hats for my kids but nothing for a fabrication piece.
Dude, that's badass.
That's cool.
Right now my joker's going to have a face in the front, face in the back.
But because I'm running out of time, I'm not gonna sculpt the second face.
Instead, I'm going to finish the first face and run a copy and latex.
Then I'll have two faces.
It's definitely something different than anybody else is doing in the room.
That's pretty good.
I find my red wig that I wanted and just start brushing it out.
And I'm using cotton and nylon to create a shape, and I start darkening areas and making it more Burtonesque, and I spray it with glitter to make it classy.
I have this idea that I could actually make the broken heart bleed.
The idea for the chest piece is to create this heart.
I want to make him look as if he is broken and devoid of all the blood in his body.
It could kind of lead more towards horror, which-- and you'll get kind of dinged, like, "Where's the quirky of this character?" Rayce is right.
The design that I have is too horror, and it's supposed to whimsical.
What the hell else am I supposed to do? This is the first individual challenge, so I need to stand out.
Oh, God.
I think it could go either way.
I just want to let you know that it could go either way.
It's day two of our playing card challenge, and Rayce says to me, my chest piece is too horror.
Do you think I should just cut out the broken heart altogether? And then the only appliance that I have would be the face.
And at this point, I'm just like, "I have to scrap my chest piece.
" Focus on the face.
Get this thing in the mold room.
Every second counts.
Now all I have is a face piece.
I'm sitting here, like, having a panic attack right now.
Doubting yourself wastes time, and nothing gets done.
Now I know why people freak out on Face Off.
Thank you.
See you later.
Yeah, see you, Laura.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
My time in the lab is almost at an end.
I'm very confident that they will get the job done and get it looking good.
- Good luck, guys.
- Good luck, see you tomorrow.
I open my face mold, I clean out the clay, and it's done.
I still have to figure out what my paint scheme is gonna be, so I pour gelatin into the face mold, so I have some sort of piece that I can practice pre-painting on.
One hour, everybody.
I just need this gelatin to cool down, so I can peel it out.
Oh, yeah.
The gelatin is still tacky and gummy, and this is just a nightmare.
I'm starting to freak out.
If I don't get this gelatin cleaned out, I don't have a foam piece, and I'm screwed.
This was probably a really bad idea.
Time is dwindling, and I run with the mold outside to the pressure washer.
And I'm spraying like a madman and pouring out as much as I can.
It's working, but it was a huge waste of my time.
It basically took away time from me being able to work on anything else.
Just struggling with this.
That's time, everybody.
It's the end of day two.
I'm feeling a little behind.
The mold is ready for foam.
Thank God for that.
I still have to figure out my paint scheme.
I'm gonna have to really hustle to get everything done tomorrow.
It's application day.
We have four hours in the lab and one hour at last looks.
I know I got to get this face painted, hand-painted, and then this guy's got to get a wig and a full costume.
I like the nostril hair.
Yeah.
- Cool.
- It looks pretty good.
That looks really good.
My prosthetic looks great, but I get some bad news.
My model is not going to be there.
Let's see if your new model Looks anything like Kevin.
- Looks anything like Kevin.
- I'm hoping.
- Julian.
- Augustine.
Hi.
How are you? All right, who's our replacement? Is it Omar? Hey! Omar has a much narrower, thin face.
It's gonna completely change it from, like a wide diamond to, like, a really, really thin diamond.
And I got to try and fit Kevin's face onto your face.
All right.
I'm gonna make this work.
I'm rolling with it.
Is that gonna be my hair? Yeah.
That's awesome.
Because my wig is so big and heavy, it could easily fall off if she moves a certain way.
So I have to pin-curl my model's hair, so I have pins to anchor the other pins to.
Hopefully it'll work.
I'm sorry if I'm hurting you.
_ So my plan for application day is to apply the cowl and then apply the face piece.
Are you gonna put this over the face? Should it, or should this go over that? This is gonna have to come over this.
Yeah.
And then Anthony comes by, and he goes, "No, no, no, no, no, no, do the other way.
" I'd almost consider cutting this.
Right here? Then this can come over that.
It's good advice, but that means I have to cut around the cowl to make this face work on her.
It's gonna take a lot of time out of my painting.
The only problem with it is, she's very feminine.
I put the wig on her, and it's not working.
_ _ I am so lost, because all of the wigs that would have worked have been taken by all of the other contestants.
I pick out this wig that wasn't my first choice.
But I go with it because I'd much rather have a makeup out on that stage than have nothing at all.
- It's time to go.
- Yeah.
I'm applying a base coat over all of the foam pieces.
And then I go through and do a darker color into all of the grooves and cracks of the hair.
So far it's coming along really nice.
- It's not white.
- It's still Tim Burton pale, but it's not, like, clown pale.
Yeah.
I am panicking about the beauty makeup.
We have a subtle face, so we need to do the same thing for the paint, not go crazy.
So a little bit exaggerate but still beauty.
That's just subtle enough.
I wouldn't go too dark there.
Okay, cool.
I feel like I have a lot to do, and I just don't I would say spend as much time as you can.
Hold off on packing up your kit.
So behind on this.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get that second face applied, and I haven't even finished painting the front face.
You don't have a back face? I do.
I just don't know how to put it on.
I'm concerned because now I know that it's gonna be a last looks thing.
It's 30 minutes, guys.
It's time, everybody.
Ah, shit.
I don't think I'm gonna get this all done.
Good luck.
I still got to put this face on the back and paint it.
It's an extreme amount of work to do for my first individual challenge.
Might be putting a makeup onstage that's not finished.
It's coming off right here.
At last looks, we have one hour, and the first thing I notice is that my lip just came loose.
I don't want to go home because of that.
I absolutely need to add that face in the back.
- Do you feel like it's gonna fall off at all? - No.
If I don't get that done, then I don't have the character that I want.
Emily, do you have one second? Emily's incredible.
She told me, "When you put the eyelashes, just ask me, and I do for you.
" Without Emily, I have nothing to show onstage.
Thank you, Emily.
I put the crown on, and it's just another thing thrown into this tornado of crap.
And I know it'll probably end me up in bottom.
Ten minutes, everyone.
All right, guys, that's time.
Thank you.
I just feel broken right now.
All I can do is hope that I'm safe.
Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
As you know, one of you will be going home tonight.
But before we see your creations, let's say hello to our series judges.
Glenn Hetrick.
Good evening.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Ve Neill.
Good evening, everybody.
- Hi, Ve.
- Hello.
And Neville Page.
Hi, guys.
- Hi.
- Hi, Neville.
And we have a very special guest joining our panel tonight.
He is a true triple threat, having won five Emmys for his work as a visual effects artist, two Academy Awards as a production designer on Avatar and Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, and he just directed his first feature film, Maleficent.
Please give a warm welcome to Mr.
Robert Stromberg.
I am a huge fan of his work, and if there's anybody who knows the Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland feel, it's Robert Stromberg.
Thank you so much for being here, Robert.
It's a pleasure to be here.
How about we check out some makeups? Definitely.
Okay, this week, for your first individual spotlight challenge, I asked you to each choose a royal playing card and bring it to life in an outlandish and quirky way worthy of a Tim Burton film.
Champions, let's take a look at your proteges' creations.
He's way too vampire to me, but I think he has a dark Tim Burton look to him.
All I can think about is, it may look good from afar, but up close, it's rough.
It is really rough.
She really pops onstage.
I'm just like, "Ooh, I love you.
You look so good.
" I think she looks fantastic, but she's got a goatee.
She's elegant and beautiful and bearded.
He's looking really good, but I'm still worried that they're gonna think that my concept is too on the nose or just too out there.
I'm ecstatic right now.
I'm feeling like I could have a top look.
I'm just hoping that it's whimsical enough for the judges.
It stands out but not in a good way.
It doesn't read as a king of clubs.
It just reads as a pimp.
He's doing his jig, and it's really funny.
It looks great.
He looks just like the way I envisioned him.
This is not 100% my best work, but she looks like a queen sort of.
I'm really happy with the silhouette.
It looks very royal.
I feel really happy with what I've accomplished in the past two days.
You really can't tell which side is which, so I'm excited about how this looks.
I feel like it's whimsical.
It really looks like what I had envisioned, and I'm really happy with this one.
The sculpture looks nice.
It's just, everything around it is just terrible.
And I'm embarrassed to be saying that it's mine.
Okay, judges, why don't you check out the royal court? Looks like this edge is really rough along the bottom.
Just a little.
Thank you.
Oh, this is quite a bit rougher up close.
Wow.
It almost has a carved wood feel to it.
There's just too many different elements going on.
Yeah.
This makes me sad.
I love that it has that very clear, easy-to-read emotion.
I do like some of the paint work, even though it's very simple.
Thank you.
His patch is a bit too big.
It looks like it's patching the whole side of his head.
I might want to see the rest of it, how this transitions.
Oh, man.
I see Glenn pulling the actual appliance.
The appliance is falling off my model's face.
I'm probably going home because of that, and I'm crushed.
Tell us who made your favorite quirky royal character tonight on Twitter using #FaceOff.
Ooh.
Oh, man.
The appliance came loose.
This is terrible.
I don't want to go home at this point.
I'm frustrated because I really wanted to shine for the first individual challenge.
These edges are ripped out.
We have several blowouts.
This gives bee-stung lips a whole new definition.
It destroys any of the beauty that was intentional.
I think if I had this in one of my films, I would want the eyes more readable.
Thank you.
Nice.
I really like this one.
That profile, between the hair and the piece, is gorgeous.
Thank you.
This is really interesting.
She was really smart.
She left it way down here, so it wouldn't affect his mouth.
- Yeah, it was very clean.
- Yeah.
This is some rough stuff, boy.
And I don't understand what the story could possibly be.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations, so let's find out what they thought.
Kelly Ben Regina Rob Logan Stephanie Adam Congratulations, because you are all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
All right, that means the rest of you were the best and the worst this week, and the judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Darla, please step up.
Tell us about your character and how you used the card to drive your design.
So I had the jack of hearts.
My character is the royal advisor to the king of hearts, but he's secretly in love with the queen, and so he's jealous of the king.
I think it's brilliant.
Very stunning.
And I particularly love the application technique.
I can't look at it and go, "Here's exactly how you did it.
" That thrills me to no end.
The subtlety of the paint work around the edge of the heart, that's very sophisticated modeling technique.
I love this.
Thank you.
Really nice job framing the face and the decision to sculpt the hair.
It's a really nice interpretation of your vision.
Thank you so much.
Darla, please step back.
Thank you.
Jamie, you're next.
Can you please tell us what card you have? The history of the king of spades plays off of David and Goliath.
But instead of playing, like, the tall, proud man that David is, I decided to make a very proud person but very small.
He's a little bit of a dandy, then.
Yes.
I'm not sure that that was such a good choice.
The kings are supposed to be regal.
The sculpting on it is very, very rough, and you could have put more texture into the face.
There's some good shapes happening, but it's all about the execution, and the sculpted hair feels more like the top of a Klingon's head.
It has that shape versus styled hair.
The paint job is very drab.
You've got to be able to deliver that killer paint job, and that didn't happen.
Jamie, if you'd please step back.
All right, let's talk to Emily.
So tell us about your character and how the card inspired this.
She is the queen of hearts.
Immediately I thought of human heart, so I wanted to incorporate the hearts into her collar and play with the shapes.
Everything about this is so beautiful.
From the head shape to profile, it's a beautiful, beautiful design.
Thank you.
When I did Alice In Wonderland, we would have gobbled that idea up about being real hearts, and they would be beating.
I think you did a good job.
Thank you.
There's one thing about this that, honestly, I hate, and that is how much better you are than I was when I was your age.
It's really hard not to love it.
Thank you.
Emily, you can step back.
Thanks, Megan.
Nice job, lady.
- Thanks.
- Nice.
Anthony, please come forward.
Hey, Anthony.
Tell us about your character.
The king of hearts was once this great ruler, and the spades attacked and killed his queen, which caused him to have a broken heart.
Honestly, I feel like there's a few problems here.
I think that the paint work feels muddled, like a combination of many thoughts that didn't coagulate into one single form.
The hair is an absolute mess.
And I'm using a nice word.
No.
In close-up, it's so horrible, it's not even a good clown makeup.
Anthony, you can step down.
Thank you.
Daniel, if you'd please step up.
Please tell us the concept behind your makeup.
I got the queen of diamonds, and she's hunting for diamonds in all the kingdoms.
This is conceptually unintelligible to me.
If you weren't telling me, I wouldn't have known that's the queen of diamonds.
One of the huge mistakes that you made was trying to put a three-dimensional diamond on her mouth, because it looks like she's deformed.
I feel like you went into it with a little bit of uncertainty, and being whimsical is not being afraid to go too far.
Daniel, you can step down.
Thank you.
Julian.
Julian, would you please tell us about your character? My card was the jack of clubs, and he made a deal with the king of the underworld, so he helps with ferrying the dead to the underworld.
This is a really interesting, bizarre-looking makeup.
I like the way that you actually did take the shape of the club, but you have this great little damaged section of his forehead.
And it's really out of the box.
I really like it.
Thank you.
It's not on the nose, it's not literal, and that's a good thing.
Yours is one of the only ones that stood out.
You have shown some serious skills in the sculpting, painting, and applying of the makeup.
Thank you.
Julian, please step back.
Thanks.
Thank you, guys.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate.
All right, judges, let's start with your favorites tonight.
How about Darla's work? I love it.
She's the only one that pulled off the pointy chin and had it work visually.
Yeah, technically solid.
The overall graphic of it, very solid.
I think it was absolutely stunning, and she put the rest of the competitors on notice.
She is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
All right, judges, let's move on to Emily.
Just stunning.
The hearts with the arrows and the whole schmegegge, it was awesome.
She did heart face, heart hair, hearts around her collar.
It would have seemed like too much of a good thing, but because they were nuanced, they just echoed.
All right, judges, let's move on to Julian.
I do admire the subtleties of the scarring, and there was a certain flow to it.
There's some beautiful sculpting and painting on it.
It's just its own unique vision.
All right, judges, let's move on to the looks you like the least.
Let's talk about Jamie's work tonight.
It's a king's face with a spade haircut.
That's not a very good idea.
She had the choice not to use that head piece.
She could have put real hair on it.
Which I think she should have.
There was too many pieces that didn't fit together.
Let's move on to Anthony.
You can't overlook the paint job.
I've seen more kingly bowls of spaghetti, to be honest with you.
Simple illustration-style makeup, it's the hardest thing to do, because it's just a couple colors and some lines, and they have to be perfect.
Visually, it read more like a hybrid tribal mask than it did a playing card.
Okay, let's move on to Daniel.
He was so lost.
That was so shoddily sculpted, applied, and painted.
At the core of it, the problem is, the concept for the makeup is nonexistent.
Why didn't he at least do some sort of cool, monstery-looking queen Precisely.
with, like, diamonds protruding out of her skin and give it the Tim Burton look? At least it would have been something creative.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? - We have.
- Yes.
Okay, let's bring them back out.
So, Glenn, tell us about the top looks.
Darla, your jack had a powerful presence, and you really impressed us both with your beautiful application and your technical prowess.
Emily, your queen was replete with graceful forms and great colors, and it all came together into a beautifully unified finished product.
Julian, the sculpture of your face showed some strong technical talent, and the uniqueness of your character stood out among the crowd.
And, Laura, I've got to congratulate you since all three top looks came from your team.
It's all them.
All them.
So who is the winner of this challenge? Tonight's winner is So who is the winner of this challenge? Tonight's winner is Emily.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
It's weird.
You gave us such a thoughtful and artistic makeup tonight.
We just cannot wait to see what you put in front of us next week.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.
I am thrilled.
I win the first individual challenge, which is so nice.
I'm just so happy with it.
I'm glad the judges liked it too.
All right, Emily.
You, Darla, and Julian can all head back to the makeup room with the coaches.
All right, guys, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Jamie, you had some good ideas this week, but you were let down by poor execution in your sculpture and painting.
Anthony, though your makeup did portray some emotion, at the end of the day, we couldn't really tell what we were looking at.
And, Daniel, though your character did appear royal, there were some fundamental flaws with your makeup on a conceptual level that left it incoherent.
All right, Glenn, who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Daniel.
Your character suffered from many technical flaws, and ultimately it felt uninspired.
I agree.
Daniel, I am so sorry.
That means you have been eliminated.
Jamie and Anthony, you're both safe this week.
You can head back to the makeup room.
Don't give up.
I mean, you made it this far because you have talent.
Learn and give this another try.
Thank you.
I will.
Daniel, it's been great having you here with us, but if you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Take care.
I've been doing makeup for about, like, eight months, so the next step for me is learning more and getting better.
Oh, no.
- Daniel? - Yes.
Having Anthony as my coach and teacher inspired me to learn a lot.
My experience at Face Off was incredible.
I think *** you can do whatever you want.
Just try hard and you can get it.
