Face Off (2011) s09e04 Episode Script
Frightful Fiction
I love these guys.
That is very problematic.
This was a very beautiful piece of work.
Previously on Face Off Jasmine's whimsically macabre bride brought her to victory on our 100th episode.
But Jason, Missy, Meg, and Nora fell to the bottom and still face elimination.
The person going home tonight is And tonight the artists face a massive twist.
I have something entirely new in store for you.
Wow.
Now I'm freaking out.
Okay, what I'm seeing is a high school makeup.
That's not good.
I'm scared.
This is exactly what the challenge was about.
It looks very bizarre to me.
In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations, a brand-new 2015 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
This is Face Off.
It was really cool to be a part of the wedding, but, unfortunately, one of us has to go home.
All right, guys, it's time to get back to business.
As you know, the four of you are on the bottom this week.
And one of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom teams.
Jason and Missy, we understand where you intended this to end up, but the counterintuitive painting obscured any chance for success.
Meg and Nora, your living painting concept was a good one, but there's little about your characters that made them seem like they belong together.
So who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Missy.
There was a lot that went wrong with both of your characters, but two of the biggest missteps were your muddy paint job, and the poorly executed bone shoulder.
Missy, I am so sorry.
That means you have been eliminated.
Jason, Nora, Meg, you three are safe this week and you can head back to the makeup room.
Missy, I really hate seeing anyone go home this early in the competition because we don't truly get to see your full potential, but I do hope to see your work in the future.
Thanks.
Missy, it's been so great having you here with us.
If you please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Missy.
- Good lucky, Missy.
Bye, Missy.
I'm really disappointed.
I still have a lot more to show.
I still have a lot to prove.
It's me.
I need to keep my mind open and keep learning and keep pushing forward.
This is definitely not gonna be the end of me.
I'm gonna work my entire life to be a good artist.
- Ah! - Okay.
It's the morning after our 100th episode challenge.
I definitely do not wanna be on the bottom ever again.
So I'm really excited to see what the next challenge is.
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Well, as you've seen so far, this season is all about surprises.
And, of course, this challenge is no different.
For the first time ever, you will not be facing a Foundation Challenge or a Spotlight Challenge.
This is crazy.
What other kind of challenge is there? I have something entirely new in store for you.
- Oh.
- Jeez.
- Oh, my God.
- A Focus Challenge.
All right.
Now, Focus Challenges are similar to Spotlight Challenges, but they require you to focus your efforts on the most important part of any successful makeup-- the face.
Oh.
Because the scope of your work has been limited, you will only have two days to complete your Focus Challenge.
Talk about a rush job.
This is going to be where my time management skills come in to play.
Now with this focus on the face comes a more stringent judging criteria.
The judges wanna see attention to detail.
Which means clean makeups with great edges, great blending, and great painting.
I'm kinda freaking out because these judges are going to completely break down the face, so I better kill this.
This week we will be diving into one of the hottest trends in Hollywood.
The mash-up.
Hit books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter have crossed over from the best-seller list to the big screen.
So, for your first Focus Challenge and your first individual challenge Ooh.
you'll be creating the protagonist of your own mash-up.
Combining classic literature and horror.
This is fantastic.
This is such a cool twist.
Plus, I have been dying for an individual challenge, and this is mine and mine alone.
So let's take a look at the new books you'll be choosing from today.
We have The Legend of King Arthur and His Undead Knights, The Scarlet Letter Puritan Poltergeist, Great Expectations of a Serial Killer, Gulliver's Travels in the Underworld, Don Quixote Monster of La Mancha.
We have The Exorcism of Monte Cristo, and lastly over there is Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
This is my candy shop right here.
- It's a cool challenge, right? - Very cool.
Very Cool.
- Awesome.
- Kevon, you're up first.
Jasmine, you're up.
Brittany.
And Jason.
Remember, guys, it's a Focus Challenge, so please pay attention to your faces and blend those edges.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I went for The Legend of King Arthur and His Undead Knights.
My concept for this makeup is to recreate the character Merlin, but as an undead Merlin.
I went with a female model because this makeup is gonna have very sunken-in features, so I'm going to create bone structure on a smaller female face to look like it was the decay of a larger male face.
I'm very excited about this character.
I really feel at home with this challenge.
I chose The Scarlet Letter Puritan Poltergeist.
Pearl, the daughter, she's actually the daughter of the Devil himself.
As she gets older, what's deep inside of her starts to manifest, and from there, I can start building my character out.
I picked Gulliver's Travels in the Underworld, and the character that I chose from the book is Lord Munodi.
So with him being a Lord I wanna incorporate a crown, like protruding from his head.
I also realize I'm gonna need to do a cowl along with this if I want the full character that I just sketched out.
This is a Focus Challenge, so I'm worried, doing a cowl and a face, it's a little bit too much, but I feel like this is my chance to do another stylized character.
I have an idea of having a crown in my guy, so maybe I'm gonna take a look at what you got.
- Oh, yeah? - Just so that we're not Make sure we're not doing a lot of the same thing? - Doing the same exact thing.
- Same ideas.
I'm doing the character King Arthur.
Every battle he goes through, if he dies, Merlin is-- basically got this deal to bring him back to life.
The crown, I would like to be melted into his anatomy, but this being a Focus Challenge, I really want to showcase my sculpting ability.
I chose Don Quixote Monster of La Mancha.
Rather than making Don Quixote, I'm making his assistant Sancho Panza.
In my world, Don Quixote makes Sancho Panza from the bodies of dead workers, so Sancho Panza is the Frankenstein monster.
So I start sculpting and fleshing it out.
I have elements of other faces stitched together in his.
It's gonna be all different layers of decay and size and age, so it's a playground of texture.
- I'm over thinking it.
- Yeah.
Scott's next to me with an amazing sculpt, Jasmine's next to me with an amazing sculpt, and I'm questioning my artistic ability.
I'm spending so much time trying to get a form down that reads correctly, but I'm working myself into a corner.
- I should step away from this.
- Not a bad idea.
I only have one day for this.
I have to make it work.
I just don't want to go home.
I'm floundering.
It's a Focus Challenge, so the face is the area that I need to really perfect.
It's too late to completely start over, so I just have to go with it and I'm just a bundle of nerves.
I don't know which way is up at this point.
I picked the Miss Havisham character from Great Expectations of a Serial Killer.
Miss Havisham is an older character who lights herself on fire on accident.
So I'm going to do an old age and burn makeup.
I've done old age makeups before.
I'm a little hesitant because it is so hard, but I think it's gonna be okay.
I chose The Exorcism of Monte Cristo.
The Count gets sent away to a prison camp on a false charge.
I decide that his demonic possession comes from anger.
So I take really unflattering photos of myself looking as angry as I can get.
So I am sculpting every bit of anger that I can muster into this.
It's an invaluable resource.
I chose Gulliver's Travels in the Underworld.
I'm gonna do a really cool, badass, like, Queen demon whose kinda one of Gulliver's tour guides on his quest throughout The Underworld.
So I decided to sculpt my facial prosthetic in medium Chavant just 'cause I can pack a lot more detail into it more strategically and I also know I can get really paper-thin edges with Chavant.
I have The Scarlett Letter Puritan Poltergeist.
My concept is a ghost version of Hester.
She is mother of her illegitimate child Pearl and will exact her revenge by cutting out tongues of lying men and gouging their eyes out with sewing needles.
I'm going in for sunken-in eye sockets and really exaggerating the tiredness and the under-eye bags.
This is a woman who's been keeping secrets.
So, she's not gonna look like a spring chicken.
I chose The Exorcism of Monte Cristo.
My concept is the Count is possessed by a demon spirit that's gonna help him carry out evil acts.
For this I'm really just gonna try and give the face a withered effect to add that this evil taking over and rotting him from the inside.
I choose Don Quixote Monster of La Mancha.
I decide that Don Quixote's this monstery, dragon knight.
To get the lizardy look-- instead of laying on individual scales, which'll take way too long, I'm actually going through and sculpting scales into it.
Don Quixote's one of my favorite stories, so I'm really excited about it.
I picked the book Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
It's a mash-up, I can really take this anywhere I want to, so I decide to create Sherlock Holmes's vampire daughter, who has continued his mystery solving.
I definitely wanna go a little more horror here, but still keep a little beauty in there.
So that's kind of what I'm playing with right now.
Hey, guys, we're here to check on you.
How are ya? Hi.
- Hey, Evan.
- Hey, how's it going? - Good.
How are you doing? - Good to see you.
- Hi, how are ya? - Good.
Okay, so you got Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
Yeah.
My idea is that there's been a vampire plague.
- Mm-hmm.
- And there's really no cure.
- Are you gonna do silicone? - Yeah.
You might even try painting from the backside.
- Some intrinsic painting? Okay.
- Some intrinsic painting.
Which would be great for the disease, too.
Okay.
Yeah, cool.
I chose the character of Lord Munodi.
I also noticed that I'm the only person here that is attempting to do a cowl.
I said the face.
Focus on the face.
Concentrate on this.
Get it done.
But don't waste any time now because this you could - scrap if you had to.
- Yeah.
So, you got Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
Yup.
I'm doing Sherlock Holmes's half vampire daughter.
How old is she supposed to be? - Late 20s.
- With the age that you're doing I would really keep these things soft.
- Okay, okay.
- More like a skin texture - than wrinkles.
- Okay.
The idea is different types of skin tones and different rates of decay.
This basically patchwork man that he creates.
- He's Frankenstein.
- Yup.
I think you've got a really good sculpture - started there.
- Thank you.
You could actually put a few little staples adjoining these.
You just take a little silver paint and they're the ones that held it together.
Excellent.
She comes back as a-- like a vengeance poltergeist.
I kinda wanted this to be more like a pull back than just like a natural wrinkle and I'm not sure if it reads like that.
- If you pulled - Mm-hmm.
- it's gonna pull that way - Oh, okay.
not the direction you're going.
You need to do that all the way around.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Okay.
I'm making a Miss Havisham character.
Basically I'm doing an old age makeup - and a burn makeup.
- Aging and burns? - Okay.
- Wow.
You're coming up against Glenn and Ve, who have done old age makeups.
- Oh, yeah.
- And they can be super critical.
And what I'm seeing is-- it looks like a high school makeup.
You have a lot of detailing to do.
Mr.
Westmore doesn't seem too excited about my face, and that's not good.
Your forehead here looks like a couple little sausages.
- Mm-hmm.
- And down around here is chipmunk.
Now I'm starting to worry that this old age makeup is not a good idea.
You need to start your nasolabial folds - There.
- up a little higher.
And this eye is too young.
I'm very scared.
This is a Focus Challenge.
It's just about the face.
This is the worst feeling.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You have a lot of detailing to do.
Mr.
Westmore doesn't like my face.
Thank you so much.
And now I'm starting to worry that I'm not gonna have a piece for tomorrow.
There's three hours left, and I'm not happy with the sculpt.
What are you doing for her? Old age, burn? I haven't started the burn yet, but the burn will be on this side.
So you'll wanna cut in, but then you're gonna want to add your roundness back into your form.
Nora gives me tips on how to fix it.
And don't forget-- wrinkles are never straight.
But I'm still really nervous that this doesn't work.
You're on the right track.
- Just keep going.
- Keep going.
Thank you.
And don't forget to keep looking at that clock.
Yeah, right? Seriously.
I'm happy with the edges and the anatomy.
It's time to get it to the mold room.
Being able to start before anyone else is in there, it's a confidence booster.
At this point I'm very happy with where I am.
I only have one day for this, so I have to make it work.
I continue my ridges down further onto the lip and I'm liking my sculpt now.
It still maintains her childlike face and it gives me room to paint it well.
Now I just have to bring it with this application and paint job tomorrow.
This face is my whole makeup, so I have to get it done.
But I'm the last one sculpting, and that is not a good thing.
It's scary realizing I'm the only one who's still slapping clay around.
So I finally finished my sculpture, but time is ticking away, so I'm a little nervous about that.
I wanna start working on my hair.
So I grab Styrofoam tubes and I saw them down to create points.
And then I start wrapping the hair around them so that I can create bat-like ears on the top of her head.
I'm trying to create an interesting silhouette and I think she's gonna be really beautiful.
I open up my mold and I start panicking becuse time is ticking away and I still have to get the clay cleaned out of this thing.
That's time, everybody! The clay isn't completely out of the mold and that could ruin the face, but I'm out of time, so the only thing that I can do is hope for the best.
I go and check out the prosthetic and it looks beautiful.
I know it's gonna be a little different to apply this since it is silicone.
The edges are really sensitive, but I want it to look super-realistic, so I want to take the risk and see what happens.
- Models! - Hey! - Hey.
- Sup, buddy? - Nice to see you again.
- Yeah, good to see you.
As I'm looking at my face and my cowl I'm just not feeling the shape of the character.
I need a super-clean makeup, so I'm just gonna scrap the cowl.
I have to do a stretch and stipple around her eyes and mouth.
This is to make the skin that's going to show through look aged as well.
First I stretch the skin and then I stipple on a layer of the old age stipple.
And when you let go of the skin, the skin will form wrinkles.
Yes! Things are going well time wise, but I'm still really nervous about my sculpt.
I'm just not thrilled with it.
Since I have so many edges, there's a lot of room for failure.
It's a Focus Challenge.
So I have to apply this piece really well and get a very finished look out onstage.
I start applying my face.
For an entire piece that has to be flawless, it's gonna take me about two hours, but, hallelujah, I only have a face.
I have this great wig, and right now it's going pretty good.
I'm not as strong of a painter as I could be, so I'm just hoping I get this right.
I apply a wash of brown colors.
This gets a darker tone into all of the scales, but then I wipe away the brown on the surface so it's still that fleshy color.
Okay, close your mouth.
This is my first time doing a wash, so hopefully this works out well.
I want it to be organic looking.
So I want different skin tones, like maybe there were light, medium, and dark skinned contributors to his body.
I decide to use Kryolan RMGs which are rubber mask grease paint.
They're very sheer, they blend well, so it gives me plenty of time to get those colors blended and get them very organic and natural.
Hey, everybody, Push this in there.
As I'm painting, I end up using the Cabo and, like, re-stippling into it to break it up, but now she has texture all over her face and it is not even remotely what I am going for.
I'm freaking out.
This is a Focus Challenge, so application and painting of the face is so important.
- That's time, guys! - Awesome.
This is not a clean application.
I am seeing so many almost finished paint jobs, and here I am with a purple ghost.
With texture.
That makes me nervous.
The first thing I notice is his lip edge is coming up.
It's definitely not good enough for a Focus Challenge.
So I do some blood spatter to camouflage it, but it doesn't look good.
I gotta dirty up these nails a little bit.
I still don't feel great about this.
I throw on her nails, fix her hair, do more painting.
I'm trying to make sure I have everything completed and hopefully I'll get it to safe looks.
Ooh, I'm gonna make your ears more red like you're, like, realisd.
My model's got stubble on his chin so it's not gluing perfectly.
So I'm using a lot of reds and purples in all the areas up to his lip I feel like it's gonna help hide that edge better.
I'm not super confident in my paint job.
It's purple.
Looks dumb.
But it's all I have.
So I have to run with it.
All right, everybody, that's time! I am distraught.
I just know that this is not gonna go over well.
Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
You know our very talented series judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, - Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening.
Hey, Glenn.
Oscar and Emmy award-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Hello again, guys.
Hi, Ve.
Creature and concept designer Neville Page.
- Hi, guys.
- Hello, Neville.
And, of course, you can see we have a very special guest judge who is part of our Face Off family.
She's an Oscar-winning makeup artist who has worked on some of your favorite films like The Princess Bride, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, and Lincoln.
Please give a warm welcome to the lovely Lois Burwell.
Lois is absolutely perfect for this because she does such clean, finished makeup.
I'm so happy that she's here to judge this.
Welcome back, Lois.
You ready to see some makeups? I'm absolutely thrilled.
Cannot wait.
- Chomping at the bit.
- All right, let's get to this.
This week, for your first Focus Challenge, we asked you to choose a classic book with a horrific twist and create its protagonist.
Let's take a look at your final creations.
I'm still a little worried, but I am proud that I did a really good paint job on silicone.
I'm happy, but I feel like mine is so much different.
Maybe I-- I went too far? From my vision to my sketch, this final makeup is exactly what I pictured, and here it is.
This is really hard watching a makeup out on stage that I am really not happy with.
I feel like I'm going home.
I'm just bummed out.
It's awful.
There's not a doubt in my mind that it's going to be a bottom look.
From a distance the paint reads fantastic.
He looks completely demonic and I'm proud of what I did.
I really like the final, very creepy product, but, honestly, I just hope I'm safe at this point.
This is exactly how I envisioned the makeup.
I wanted it to be a very beautiful, powerful female character, and I think I've accomplished that.
You can still see some edges, but it looks natural.
It looks like a part of his skin, so I'm pretty happy with myself.
It's nice to see the monster that I made come to life.
I am having a hard time containing my excitement.
He has such a commanding presence, and I'm in awe of what I did.
I'm really proud of what I was able to accomplish.
All of my edges went down really well.
I'm blown away.
Hell yeah! I have a chance right now.
Okay, judges, why don't you take a closer look? It's slightly too piggy, isn't it? Yeah.
I do like the sculptural forms overall.
He did some really great blending around the eyes and I do like this veiny work.
I like the finish he's got.
Makes it look maniacal.
This is nicely done, isn't it? It really is.
There's precision in the sculpts.
And I love that little bit of gloss, too, to break it up.
What's making it so dead is it's not only thick, but it's really stiff.
It reminds me of a wall in some way.
- Stucco.
- Stucco! That's it.
Hmm.
The other one looked like Stucco, and this one looks like concrete.
Are they making people up or are they building a house? My makeup's not a good color.
There's no dimension from far away.
That's so unusual.
That's it.
That's my death sentence.
All right, guys, it's time to get on Twitter and tell us who made your favorite horrific character using #FaceOff This stuff here.
That's so unusual.
I'm very confused.
I don't feel like my makeup makes sense, I don't feel like it's cohesive, and I just feel like that's it for me.
Thank you.
Really bizarre linear form choices.
It's just not human.
Not even slightly terrestrial.
It's alien.
The droop of the eyelid is very skillful.
And the profile-- how the mouth is pulled down.
The muscles here.
It's very nicely done.
This is all grey and that's a little bit fleshier.
- It's really nice up close.
- I like it.
What a perfect way to accentuate a graphic design-- which is very bold-- with the hair and the wardrobe to create a whole character.
I really like the choice of the eyelashes, too.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations.
So let's find out what they thought.
Ben Libby Jordan Evan Kevon Ricky Nora congratulations because you are all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
That means the rest of you were the best and the worst this week and the judges would like to hear from each of you to learn more about your work.
Jason, please step up.
Tell us about your concept.
The book I chose was The Scarlet Letter A Puritan Poltergeist.
In the original story, she is rumored to be a daughter of the Devil, so I chose to follow that route with my character.
I don't think it fits the challenge.
The bizarre line choices are not appropriate in what we were looking for this week.
Okay.
I don't think she looks demonic, I don't think she looks childlike.
I think she looks like a weird vegetable that's pink and purple.
I don't know how these furrows in her skin look demonic in any way.
Okay.
I think that sort of surgical pink mixed with a flat grey is a mistake because it doesn't sell "skin tone," even a demonic skin tone.
Jason, thank you.
Jasmine, please step up.
Tell us how your Sherlock Holmes novel inspired your makeup.
She is the daughter of Sherlock Holmes and she's now taken over his investigations.
This makeup is very successful.
It's well applied, it's beautiful far away, and it's even better up close.
Thank you so much.
You captured a really strong character with the hairstyle, the face, the costume.
I really like what you've done.
Thank you.
This is exactly what the challenge was about.
Focusing on the face and delivering a makeup that was clean and beautiful, and you've done that exceedingly well.
Thank you so much.
Jasmine, will you please step back? Brittany, please come forward.
Tell us a little bit about your character.
I chose Great Expectations of a Serial Killer.
My mind instantly went to Miss Havisham.
An accident happens in the house with a candelabra and she ends up with a very bad burn.
When you say that you had the task of sculpting and older woman and a burn makeup, I think you overreached.
Yeah.
It's too difficult to ascertain what is wrong with her, what her age is.
- It's so muddy and soft.
- Yeah.
The choice of the aging or the burn, combining those two, was a foolish mistake.
It doesn't work for multiple reasons.
You could've saved it in color if this was painted really well.
There's no stippling on it, there's just no breakup.
That, to me, is the biggest failure.
Sorry.
Brittany, can you please step down? Thanks.
Stevie, you're next.
Tell us about your Don Quixote monster.
In my version, since he's a monster I actually turned him into a dragon knight.
And he goes out and he defeats monsters even though they don't really exist.
It's very successful and it's nicely done.
Thank you.
There are some lovely areas of sculpting on this.
Particularly, around the nose.
You should be a little bit more confident about your work this week 'cause you've done extremely well.
Thank you.
The level of detail that you accomplished in such an inordinately small amount of time is in and of itself something to be very, very proud of.
- So, well done.
- Thank you.
I love your color choices.
I think he's a really fantastic character.
It's nicely blended.
Very well done this week.
Thank you.
Stevie, you can step back.
I'm so happy for you.
You're gonna make me cry.
Scott, you're up.
Tell us about the idea behind this character.
Well, this isn't actually Don Quixote.
This is his created assistant.
He creates Sancho Panza from villagers.
I think this is the best that we've seen from you so far.
Thank you.
Subdued makeups require both restraint and accuracy.
This was a courageous and successful attempt at both.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed seeing it up close.
I thought, "Wow, this is so subtle and so well done.
" - The whole thing works for me.
- Thank you.
There's a strong understanding of anatomy and anatomy that's been afflicted.
- Brilliant.
- Thank you very much.
Scott, please step back.
Meg, please step up.
Tell us about your Puritan poltergeist.
I decided to do Hester and she seeks out her poltergeist revenge by ripping the tongues out of lying men and gouging them with sewing needles.
It looks very bizarre to me.
It's a poor sculpt.
It's a poor paint job.
There's just so many things that have gone wrong for you this week.
Okay.
You've got this grainy texture.
You just fell flat on all the different levels.
Seems like everything just came off the tracks for you all at the same time.
What I don't think's acceptable is this week's challenge was this and that's sadly lacking.
- Meg, you can head back.
- Thanks.
All right, guys, please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate.
Thank you.
All right, judges, let's start with your favorite looks this week.
Why don't we start with Jasmine? Really nice and clean.
She made some really interesting choices sculpturally.
I think she did a great job.
The stylization was not a caricature.
It was a choice of very interesting forms.
I agree completely, and it had more interest for color than the vast majority.
All right, why don't we move on to Stevie? From the overall form to the detailing, the color, and the application, that was a really impressive piece of work.
I wanna see her become more confident because that lack of confidence can be crippling.
All right, let's move on to Scott.
The thought he put in from one side of the face to the other, the droopy eye, the texture of the cheek, I thought they were really well done.
He really showed his skills off as a designer this week on top of all the technical prowess.
All right, judges, let's move on to the looks that didn't work for you tonight.
Why don't we start with Jason? She looked like a sculpted vegetable.
I do applaud his ability to think out of the box, but this week I don't think it fits the challenge.
All right, let's move on to Brittany.
That was nothing like any burn makeup or an old age makeup that I've ever seen.
She bit off more than she could chew.
- Absolutely.
- Dreadful painting.
The colors were surgical pink and then some kind of ditchwater grey.
All right, let's move on to Meg.
The forms, particularly the wrinkling, were counter to human movement.
If it's jus following the actor's face, what was the point of sculpting it? This was just a whole slew of foolish choices.
All right, judges, have you made up your minds? Yes, we have.
Okay, let's bring 'em back out and crown a winner.
Glenn, tell us about the top looks.
Jasmine, your makeup was very cleanly applied and we particularly liked the graphic, stylized sculpting and paint job.
Stevie, you showed us strong sculpting ability this week.
And the application and detail work were very tight as well.
Scott, we thought your restraint was the key to your success, and you showed us that in both your beautiful painting and sculpting.
So, whose the winner of this challenge? The winner of tonight's challenge is So, who's the winner of this challenge? The winner of tonight's challenge is Scott.
We thought that your restraint was the key to your success, and you showed us that in both your beautiful painting and sculpting.
Thank you, guys.
I am elated to hear those words.
I'm very proud that my kids are gonna be able to see this, so it's a proud day.
Scott, congratulations.
Thank you, McKenzie.
You, Stevie, and Jasmine can head back to the makeup room.
Congratulations.
All right, guys, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be going home.
If you'd please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Jason, while we applaud your choice to go with a big concept, the execution and the readability of your makeup were a bit lackluster.
And Brittany, you really swung for the fences this week in terms of difficulty, but, unfortunately, that showed in various technical problems with your makeup.
Meg, the idea for this makeup wasn't necessarily bad, but the path that you took to get there led you to too many bad choices and too many technical mistakes.
So who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Brittany.
You just tried to do something too big and too difficult for this challenge, and it showed in the final results.
I can't thank you enough for this opportunity.
And getting this far-- gosh, y'all are so amazing, so thank you so much.
Brittany, I'm so sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means Meg and Jason, you are both safe this week and can head back to the makeup room.
Brittany, everyone makes mistakes.
I am absolutely certain that you will have a marvelous career ahead of you.
Just keep going and be determined.
Thank you so much.
Brittany, it's been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
Bye, Brittany.
I'm going home on a makeup that I'm not proud of.
- Bye, guys.
- Oh, no! But I'm just so very thankful to have been here.
I have learned so much.
And I hope to have a long career here in Hollywood.
I couldn't be anymore excited, and I can't wait to get started.
That is very problematic.
This was a very beautiful piece of work.
Previously on Face Off Jasmine's whimsically macabre bride brought her to victory on our 100th episode.
But Jason, Missy, Meg, and Nora fell to the bottom and still face elimination.
The person going home tonight is And tonight the artists face a massive twist.
I have something entirely new in store for you.
Wow.
Now I'm freaking out.
Okay, what I'm seeing is a high school makeup.
That's not good.
I'm scared.
This is exactly what the challenge was about.
It looks very bizarre to me.
In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations, a brand-new 2015 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
This is Face Off.
It was really cool to be a part of the wedding, but, unfortunately, one of us has to go home.
All right, guys, it's time to get back to business.
As you know, the four of you are on the bottom this week.
And one of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom teams.
Jason and Missy, we understand where you intended this to end up, but the counterintuitive painting obscured any chance for success.
Meg and Nora, your living painting concept was a good one, but there's little about your characters that made them seem like they belong together.
So who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Missy.
There was a lot that went wrong with both of your characters, but two of the biggest missteps were your muddy paint job, and the poorly executed bone shoulder.
Missy, I am so sorry.
That means you have been eliminated.
Jason, Nora, Meg, you three are safe this week and you can head back to the makeup room.
Missy, I really hate seeing anyone go home this early in the competition because we don't truly get to see your full potential, but I do hope to see your work in the future.
Thanks.
Missy, it's been so great having you here with us.
If you please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Thank you, Missy.
- Good lucky, Missy.
Bye, Missy.
I'm really disappointed.
I still have a lot more to show.
I still have a lot to prove.
It's me.
I need to keep my mind open and keep learning and keep pushing forward.
This is definitely not gonna be the end of me.
I'm gonna work my entire life to be a good artist.
- Ah! - Okay.
It's the morning after our 100th episode challenge.
I definitely do not wanna be on the bottom ever again.
So I'm really excited to see what the next challenge is.
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Well, as you've seen so far, this season is all about surprises.
And, of course, this challenge is no different.
For the first time ever, you will not be facing a Foundation Challenge or a Spotlight Challenge.
This is crazy.
What other kind of challenge is there? I have something entirely new in store for you.
- Oh.
- Jeez.
- Oh, my God.
- A Focus Challenge.
All right.
Now, Focus Challenges are similar to Spotlight Challenges, but they require you to focus your efforts on the most important part of any successful makeup-- the face.
Oh.
Because the scope of your work has been limited, you will only have two days to complete your Focus Challenge.
Talk about a rush job.
This is going to be where my time management skills come in to play.
Now with this focus on the face comes a more stringent judging criteria.
The judges wanna see attention to detail.
Which means clean makeups with great edges, great blending, and great painting.
I'm kinda freaking out because these judges are going to completely break down the face, so I better kill this.
This week we will be diving into one of the hottest trends in Hollywood.
The mash-up.
Hit books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter have crossed over from the best-seller list to the big screen.
So, for your first Focus Challenge and your first individual challenge Ooh.
you'll be creating the protagonist of your own mash-up.
Combining classic literature and horror.
This is fantastic.
This is such a cool twist.
Plus, I have been dying for an individual challenge, and this is mine and mine alone.
So let's take a look at the new books you'll be choosing from today.
We have The Legend of King Arthur and His Undead Knights, The Scarlet Letter Puritan Poltergeist, Great Expectations of a Serial Killer, Gulliver's Travels in the Underworld, Don Quixote Monster of La Mancha.
We have The Exorcism of Monte Cristo, and lastly over there is Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
This is my candy shop right here.
- It's a cool challenge, right? - Very cool.
Very Cool.
- Awesome.
- Kevon, you're up first.
Jasmine, you're up.
Brittany.
And Jason.
Remember, guys, it's a Focus Challenge, so please pay attention to your faces and blend those edges.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I went for The Legend of King Arthur and His Undead Knights.
My concept for this makeup is to recreate the character Merlin, but as an undead Merlin.
I went with a female model because this makeup is gonna have very sunken-in features, so I'm going to create bone structure on a smaller female face to look like it was the decay of a larger male face.
I'm very excited about this character.
I really feel at home with this challenge.
I chose The Scarlet Letter Puritan Poltergeist.
Pearl, the daughter, she's actually the daughter of the Devil himself.
As she gets older, what's deep inside of her starts to manifest, and from there, I can start building my character out.
I picked Gulliver's Travels in the Underworld, and the character that I chose from the book is Lord Munodi.
So with him being a Lord I wanna incorporate a crown, like protruding from his head.
I also realize I'm gonna need to do a cowl along with this if I want the full character that I just sketched out.
This is a Focus Challenge, so I'm worried, doing a cowl and a face, it's a little bit too much, but I feel like this is my chance to do another stylized character.
I have an idea of having a crown in my guy, so maybe I'm gonna take a look at what you got.
- Oh, yeah? - Just so that we're not Make sure we're not doing a lot of the same thing? - Doing the same exact thing.
- Same ideas.
I'm doing the character King Arthur.
Every battle he goes through, if he dies, Merlin is-- basically got this deal to bring him back to life.
The crown, I would like to be melted into his anatomy, but this being a Focus Challenge, I really want to showcase my sculpting ability.
I chose Don Quixote Monster of La Mancha.
Rather than making Don Quixote, I'm making his assistant Sancho Panza.
In my world, Don Quixote makes Sancho Panza from the bodies of dead workers, so Sancho Panza is the Frankenstein monster.
So I start sculpting and fleshing it out.
I have elements of other faces stitched together in his.
It's gonna be all different layers of decay and size and age, so it's a playground of texture.
- I'm over thinking it.
- Yeah.
Scott's next to me with an amazing sculpt, Jasmine's next to me with an amazing sculpt, and I'm questioning my artistic ability.
I'm spending so much time trying to get a form down that reads correctly, but I'm working myself into a corner.
- I should step away from this.
- Not a bad idea.
I only have one day for this.
I have to make it work.
I just don't want to go home.
I'm floundering.
It's a Focus Challenge, so the face is the area that I need to really perfect.
It's too late to completely start over, so I just have to go with it and I'm just a bundle of nerves.
I don't know which way is up at this point.
I picked the Miss Havisham character from Great Expectations of a Serial Killer.
Miss Havisham is an older character who lights herself on fire on accident.
So I'm going to do an old age and burn makeup.
I've done old age makeups before.
I'm a little hesitant because it is so hard, but I think it's gonna be okay.
I chose The Exorcism of Monte Cristo.
The Count gets sent away to a prison camp on a false charge.
I decide that his demonic possession comes from anger.
So I take really unflattering photos of myself looking as angry as I can get.
So I am sculpting every bit of anger that I can muster into this.
It's an invaluable resource.
I chose Gulliver's Travels in the Underworld.
I'm gonna do a really cool, badass, like, Queen demon whose kinda one of Gulliver's tour guides on his quest throughout The Underworld.
So I decided to sculpt my facial prosthetic in medium Chavant just 'cause I can pack a lot more detail into it more strategically and I also know I can get really paper-thin edges with Chavant.
I have The Scarlett Letter Puritan Poltergeist.
My concept is a ghost version of Hester.
She is mother of her illegitimate child Pearl and will exact her revenge by cutting out tongues of lying men and gouging their eyes out with sewing needles.
I'm going in for sunken-in eye sockets and really exaggerating the tiredness and the under-eye bags.
This is a woman who's been keeping secrets.
So, she's not gonna look like a spring chicken.
I chose The Exorcism of Monte Cristo.
My concept is the Count is possessed by a demon spirit that's gonna help him carry out evil acts.
For this I'm really just gonna try and give the face a withered effect to add that this evil taking over and rotting him from the inside.
I choose Don Quixote Monster of La Mancha.
I decide that Don Quixote's this monstery, dragon knight.
To get the lizardy look-- instead of laying on individual scales, which'll take way too long, I'm actually going through and sculpting scales into it.
Don Quixote's one of my favorite stories, so I'm really excited about it.
I picked the book Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
It's a mash-up, I can really take this anywhere I want to, so I decide to create Sherlock Holmes's vampire daughter, who has continued his mystery solving.
I definitely wanna go a little more horror here, but still keep a little beauty in there.
So that's kind of what I'm playing with right now.
Hey, guys, we're here to check on you.
How are ya? Hi.
- Hey, Evan.
- Hey, how's it going? - Good.
How are you doing? - Good to see you.
- Hi, how are ya? - Good.
Okay, so you got Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
Yeah.
My idea is that there's been a vampire plague.
- Mm-hmm.
- And there's really no cure.
- Are you gonna do silicone? - Yeah.
You might even try painting from the backside.
- Some intrinsic painting? Okay.
- Some intrinsic painting.
Which would be great for the disease, too.
Okay.
Yeah, cool.
I chose the character of Lord Munodi.
I also noticed that I'm the only person here that is attempting to do a cowl.
I said the face.
Focus on the face.
Concentrate on this.
Get it done.
But don't waste any time now because this you could - scrap if you had to.
- Yeah.
So, you got Sherlock Holmes Bloodsucker.
Yup.
I'm doing Sherlock Holmes's half vampire daughter.
How old is she supposed to be? - Late 20s.
- With the age that you're doing I would really keep these things soft.
- Okay, okay.
- More like a skin texture - than wrinkles.
- Okay.
The idea is different types of skin tones and different rates of decay.
This basically patchwork man that he creates.
- He's Frankenstein.
- Yup.
I think you've got a really good sculpture - started there.
- Thank you.
You could actually put a few little staples adjoining these.
You just take a little silver paint and they're the ones that held it together.
Excellent.
She comes back as a-- like a vengeance poltergeist.
I kinda wanted this to be more like a pull back than just like a natural wrinkle and I'm not sure if it reads like that.
- If you pulled - Mm-hmm.
- it's gonna pull that way - Oh, okay.
not the direction you're going.
You need to do that all the way around.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Okay.
I'm making a Miss Havisham character.
Basically I'm doing an old age makeup - and a burn makeup.
- Aging and burns? - Okay.
- Wow.
You're coming up against Glenn and Ve, who have done old age makeups.
- Oh, yeah.
- And they can be super critical.
And what I'm seeing is-- it looks like a high school makeup.
You have a lot of detailing to do.
Mr.
Westmore doesn't seem too excited about my face, and that's not good.
Your forehead here looks like a couple little sausages.
- Mm-hmm.
- And down around here is chipmunk.
Now I'm starting to worry that this old age makeup is not a good idea.
You need to start your nasolabial folds - There.
- up a little higher.
And this eye is too young.
I'm very scared.
This is a Focus Challenge.
It's just about the face.
This is the worst feeling.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
You have a lot of detailing to do.
Mr.
Westmore doesn't like my face.
Thank you so much.
And now I'm starting to worry that I'm not gonna have a piece for tomorrow.
There's three hours left, and I'm not happy with the sculpt.
What are you doing for her? Old age, burn? I haven't started the burn yet, but the burn will be on this side.
So you'll wanna cut in, but then you're gonna want to add your roundness back into your form.
Nora gives me tips on how to fix it.
And don't forget-- wrinkles are never straight.
But I'm still really nervous that this doesn't work.
You're on the right track.
- Just keep going.
- Keep going.
Thank you.
And don't forget to keep looking at that clock.
Yeah, right? Seriously.
I'm happy with the edges and the anatomy.
It's time to get it to the mold room.
Being able to start before anyone else is in there, it's a confidence booster.
At this point I'm very happy with where I am.
I only have one day for this, so I have to make it work.
I continue my ridges down further onto the lip and I'm liking my sculpt now.
It still maintains her childlike face and it gives me room to paint it well.
Now I just have to bring it with this application and paint job tomorrow.
This face is my whole makeup, so I have to get it done.
But I'm the last one sculpting, and that is not a good thing.
It's scary realizing I'm the only one who's still slapping clay around.
So I finally finished my sculpture, but time is ticking away, so I'm a little nervous about that.
I wanna start working on my hair.
So I grab Styrofoam tubes and I saw them down to create points.
And then I start wrapping the hair around them so that I can create bat-like ears on the top of her head.
I'm trying to create an interesting silhouette and I think she's gonna be really beautiful.
I open up my mold and I start panicking becuse time is ticking away and I still have to get the clay cleaned out of this thing.
That's time, everybody! The clay isn't completely out of the mold and that could ruin the face, but I'm out of time, so the only thing that I can do is hope for the best.
I go and check out the prosthetic and it looks beautiful.
I know it's gonna be a little different to apply this since it is silicone.
The edges are really sensitive, but I want it to look super-realistic, so I want to take the risk and see what happens.
- Models! - Hey! - Hey.
- Sup, buddy? - Nice to see you again.
- Yeah, good to see you.
As I'm looking at my face and my cowl I'm just not feeling the shape of the character.
I need a super-clean makeup, so I'm just gonna scrap the cowl.
I have to do a stretch and stipple around her eyes and mouth.
This is to make the skin that's going to show through look aged as well.
First I stretch the skin and then I stipple on a layer of the old age stipple.
And when you let go of the skin, the skin will form wrinkles.
Yes! Things are going well time wise, but I'm still really nervous about my sculpt.
I'm just not thrilled with it.
Since I have so many edges, there's a lot of room for failure.
It's a Focus Challenge.
So I have to apply this piece really well and get a very finished look out onstage.
I start applying my face.
For an entire piece that has to be flawless, it's gonna take me about two hours, but, hallelujah, I only have a face.
I have this great wig, and right now it's going pretty good.
I'm not as strong of a painter as I could be, so I'm just hoping I get this right.
I apply a wash of brown colors.
This gets a darker tone into all of the scales, but then I wipe away the brown on the surface so it's still that fleshy color.
Okay, close your mouth.
This is my first time doing a wash, so hopefully this works out well.
I want it to be organic looking.
So I want different skin tones, like maybe there were light, medium, and dark skinned contributors to his body.
I decide to use Kryolan RMGs which are rubber mask grease paint.
They're very sheer, they blend well, so it gives me plenty of time to get those colors blended and get them very organic and natural.
Hey, everybody, Push this in there.
As I'm painting, I end up using the Cabo and, like, re-stippling into it to break it up, but now she has texture all over her face and it is not even remotely what I am going for.
I'm freaking out.
This is a Focus Challenge, so application and painting of the face is so important.
- That's time, guys! - Awesome.
This is not a clean application.
I am seeing so many almost finished paint jobs, and here I am with a purple ghost.
With texture.
That makes me nervous.
The first thing I notice is his lip edge is coming up.
It's definitely not good enough for a Focus Challenge.
So I do some blood spatter to camouflage it, but it doesn't look good.
I gotta dirty up these nails a little bit.
I still don't feel great about this.
I throw on her nails, fix her hair, do more painting.
I'm trying to make sure I have everything completed and hopefully I'll get it to safe looks.
Ooh, I'm gonna make your ears more red like you're, like, realisd.
My model's got stubble on his chin so it's not gluing perfectly.
So I'm using a lot of reds and purples in all the areas up to his lip I feel like it's gonna help hide that edge better.
I'm not super confident in my paint job.
It's purple.
Looks dumb.
But it's all I have.
So I have to run with it.
All right, everybody, that's time! I am distraught.
I just know that this is not gonna go over well.
Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
You know our very talented series judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, - Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening.
Hey, Glenn.
Oscar and Emmy award-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Hello again, guys.
Hi, Ve.
Creature and concept designer Neville Page.
- Hi, guys.
- Hello, Neville.
And, of course, you can see we have a very special guest judge who is part of our Face Off family.
She's an Oscar-winning makeup artist who has worked on some of your favorite films like The Princess Bride, Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan, and Lincoln.
Please give a warm welcome to the lovely Lois Burwell.
Lois is absolutely perfect for this because she does such clean, finished makeup.
I'm so happy that she's here to judge this.
Welcome back, Lois.
You ready to see some makeups? I'm absolutely thrilled.
Cannot wait.
- Chomping at the bit.
- All right, let's get to this.
This week, for your first Focus Challenge, we asked you to choose a classic book with a horrific twist and create its protagonist.
Let's take a look at your final creations.
I'm still a little worried, but I am proud that I did a really good paint job on silicone.
I'm happy, but I feel like mine is so much different.
Maybe I-- I went too far? From my vision to my sketch, this final makeup is exactly what I pictured, and here it is.
This is really hard watching a makeup out on stage that I am really not happy with.
I feel like I'm going home.
I'm just bummed out.
It's awful.
There's not a doubt in my mind that it's going to be a bottom look.
From a distance the paint reads fantastic.
He looks completely demonic and I'm proud of what I did.
I really like the final, very creepy product, but, honestly, I just hope I'm safe at this point.
This is exactly how I envisioned the makeup.
I wanted it to be a very beautiful, powerful female character, and I think I've accomplished that.
You can still see some edges, but it looks natural.
It looks like a part of his skin, so I'm pretty happy with myself.
It's nice to see the monster that I made come to life.
I am having a hard time containing my excitement.
He has such a commanding presence, and I'm in awe of what I did.
I'm really proud of what I was able to accomplish.
All of my edges went down really well.
I'm blown away.
Hell yeah! I have a chance right now.
Okay, judges, why don't you take a closer look? It's slightly too piggy, isn't it? Yeah.
I do like the sculptural forms overall.
He did some really great blending around the eyes and I do like this veiny work.
I like the finish he's got.
Makes it look maniacal.
This is nicely done, isn't it? It really is.
There's precision in the sculpts.
And I love that little bit of gloss, too, to break it up.
What's making it so dead is it's not only thick, but it's really stiff.
It reminds me of a wall in some way.
- Stucco.
- Stucco! That's it.
Hmm.
The other one looked like Stucco, and this one looks like concrete.
Are they making people up or are they building a house? My makeup's not a good color.
There's no dimension from far away.
That's so unusual.
That's it.
That's my death sentence.
All right, guys, it's time to get on Twitter and tell us who made your favorite horrific character using #FaceOff This stuff here.
That's so unusual.
I'm very confused.
I don't feel like my makeup makes sense, I don't feel like it's cohesive, and I just feel like that's it for me.
Thank you.
Really bizarre linear form choices.
It's just not human.
Not even slightly terrestrial.
It's alien.
The droop of the eyelid is very skillful.
And the profile-- how the mouth is pulled down.
The muscles here.
It's very nicely done.
This is all grey and that's a little bit fleshier.
- It's really nice up close.
- I like it.
What a perfect way to accentuate a graphic design-- which is very bold-- with the hair and the wardrobe to create a whole character.
I really like the choice of the eyelashes, too.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations.
So let's find out what they thought.
Ben Libby Jordan Evan Kevon Ricky Nora congratulations because you are all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
That means the rest of you were the best and the worst this week and the judges would like to hear from each of you to learn more about your work.
Jason, please step up.
Tell us about your concept.
The book I chose was The Scarlet Letter A Puritan Poltergeist.
In the original story, she is rumored to be a daughter of the Devil, so I chose to follow that route with my character.
I don't think it fits the challenge.
The bizarre line choices are not appropriate in what we were looking for this week.
Okay.
I don't think she looks demonic, I don't think she looks childlike.
I think she looks like a weird vegetable that's pink and purple.
I don't know how these furrows in her skin look demonic in any way.
Okay.
I think that sort of surgical pink mixed with a flat grey is a mistake because it doesn't sell "skin tone," even a demonic skin tone.
Jason, thank you.
Jasmine, please step up.
Tell us how your Sherlock Holmes novel inspired your makeup.
She is the daughter of Sherlock Holmes and she's now taken over his investigations.
This makeup is very successful.
It's well applied, it's beautiful far away, and it's even better up close.
Thank you so much.
You captured a really strong character with the hairstyle, the face, the costume.
I really like what you've done.
Thank you.
This is exactly what the challenge was about.
Focusing on the face and delivering a makeup that was clean and beautiful, and you've done that exceedingly well.
Thank you so much.
Jasmine, will you please step back? Brittany, please come forward.
Tell us a little bit about your character.
I chose Great Expectations of a Serial Killer.
My mind instantly went to Miss Havisham.
An accident happens in the house with a candelabra and she ends up with a very bad burn.
When you say that you had the task of sculpting and older woman and a burn makeup, I think you overreached.
Yeah.
It's too difficult to ascertain what is wrong with her, what her age is.
- It's so muddy and soft.
- Yeah.
The choice of the aging or the burn, combining those two, was a foolish mistake.
It doesn't work for multiple reasons.
You could've saved it in color if this was painted really well.
There's no stippling on it, there's just no breakup.
That, to me, is the biggest failure.
Sorry.
Brittany, can you please step down? Thanks.
Stevie, you're next.
Tell us about your Don Quixote monster.
In my version, since he's a monster I actually turned him into a dragon knight.
And he goes out and he defeats monsters even though they don't really exist.
It's very successful and it's nicely done.
Thank you.
There are some lovely areas of sculpting on this.
Particularly, around the nose.
You should be a little bit more confident about your work this week 'cause you've done extremely well.
Thank you.
The level of detail that you accomplished in such an inordinately small amount of time is in and of itself something to be very, very proud of.
- So, well done.
- Thank you.
I love your color choices.
I think he's a really fantastic character.
It's nicely blended.
Very well done this week.
Thank you.
Stevie, you can step back.
I'm so happy for you.
You're gonna make me cry.
Scott, you're up.
Tell us about the idea behind this character.
Well, this isn't actually Don Quixote.
This is his created assistant.
He creates Sancho Panza from villagers.
I think this is the best that we've seen from you so far.
Thank you.
Subdued makeups require both restraint and accuracy.
This was a courageous and successful attempt at both.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed seeing it up close.
I thought, "Wow, this is so subtle and so well done.
" - The whole thing works for me.
- Thank you.
There's a strong understanding of anatomy and anatomy that's been afflicted.
- Brilliant.
- Thank you very much.
Scott, please step back.
Meg, please step up.
Tell us about your Puritan poltergeist.
I decided to do Hester and she seeks out her poltergeist revenge by ripping the tongues out of lying men and gouging them with sewing needles.
It looks very bizarre to me.
It's a poor sculpt.
It's a poor paint job.
There's just so many things that have gone wrong for you this week.
Okay.
You've got this grainy texture.
You just fell flat on all the different levels.
Seems like everything just came off the tracks for you all at the same time.
What I don't think's acceptable is this week's challenge was this and that's sadly lacking.
- Meg, you can head back.
- Thanks.
All right, guys, please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate.
Thank you.
All right, judges, let's start with your favorite looks this week.
Why don't we start with Jasmine? Really nice and clean.
She made some really interesting choices sculpturally.
I think she did a great job.
The stylization was not a caricature.
It was a choice of very interesting forms.
I agree completely, and it had more interest for color than the vast majority.
All right, why don't we move on to Stevie? From the overall form to the detailing, the color, and the application, that was a really impressive piece of work.
I wanna see her become more confident because that lack of confidence can be crippling.
All right, let's move on to Scott.
The thought he put in from one side of the face to the other, the droopy eye, the texture of the cheek, I thought they were really well done.
He really showed his skills off as a designer this week on top of all the technical prowess.
All right, judges, let's move on to the looks that didn't work for you tonight.
Why don't we start with Jason? She looked like a sculpted vegetable.
I do applaud his ability to think out of the box, but this week I don't think it fits the challenge.
All right, let's move on to Brittany.
That was nothing like any burn makeup or an old age makeup that I've ever seen.
She bit off more than she could chew.
- Absolutely.
- Dreadful painting.
The colors were surgical pink and then some kind of ditchwater grey.
All right, let's move on to Meg.
The forms, particularly the wrinkling, were counter to human movement.
If it's jus following the actor's face, what was the point of sculpting it? This was just a whole slew of foolish choices.
All right, judges, have you made up your minds? Yes, we have.
Okay, let's bring 'em back out and crown a winner.
Glenn, tell us about the top looks.
Jasmine, your makeup was very cleanly applied and we particularly liked the graphic, stylized sculpting and paint job.
Stevie, you showed us strong sculpting ability this week.
And the application and detail work were very tight as well.
Scott, we thought your restraint was the key to your success, and you showed us that in both your beautiful painting and sculpting.
So, whose the winner of this challenge? The winner of tonight's challenge is So, who's the winner of this challenge? The winner of tonight's challenge is Scott.
We thought that your restraint was the key to your success, and you showed us that in both your beautiful painting and sculpting.
Thank you, guys.
I am elated to hear those words.
I'm very proud that my kids are gonna be able to see this, so it's a proud day.
Scott, congratulations.
Thank you, McKenzie.
You, Stevie, and Jasmine can head back to the makeup room.
Congratulations.
All right, guys, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be going home.
If you'd please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Jason, while we applaud your choice to go with a big concept, the execution and the readability of your makeup were a bit lackluster.
And Brittany, you really swung for the fences this week in terms of difficulty, but, unfortunately, that showed in various technical problems with your makeup.
Meg, the idea for this makeup wasn't necessarily bad, but the path that you took to get there led you to too many bad choices and too many technical mistakes.
So who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Brittany.
You just tried to do something too big and too difficult for this challenge, and it showed in the final results.
I can't thank you enough for this opportunity.
And getting this far-- gosh, y'all are so amazing, so thank you so much.
Brittany, I'm so sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means Meg and Jason, you are both safe this week and can head back to the makeup room.
Brittany, everyone makes mistakes.
I am absolutely certain that you will have a marvelous career ahead of you.
Just keep going and be determined.
Thank you so much.
Brittany, it's been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
Bye, Brittany.
I'm going home on a makeup that I'm not proud of.
- Bye, guys.
- Oh, no! But I'm just so very thankful to have been here.
I have learned so much.
And I hope to have a long career here in Hollywood.
I couldn't be anymore excited, and I can't wait to get started.
