Face Off (2011) s09e07 Episode Script

This is a stunning makeup job.
It's gorgeous.
You've got a really good eye, my friend.
Thank you.
Previously on Face Off Ben's alien evolution brought him his second win, but Jason faltered and was sent home.
It's me.
And tonight we'll give classic theater a modern twist.
I know that this is a tough one.
This is probably the scariest challenge so far.
Do you want to dance? I'm just, like, so fucked right now.
I'm sweating bullets.
I don't know what to do.
There's no way I can save this right now.
I'm impressed.
OMG, WTF.
In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Makeup to one of their an all new 2015 Fiat 500, and $100,000.
This is Face Off! I completely missed what the challenge was and, like, it's not-- not what we're here for.
- Those red lights are scary.
- Yeah.
You don't have to talk to me about the scary red lights.
It was the first time in four challenges that I didn't have to stand out there going, like, "Well.
" Meg is the three-time champion of bottom looks.
That's just not who I want to be known as.
I'm not ready to go home, and it's time to step up my game.
- Let's go do this thing, guys.
- Do it.
Whoo.
What could this challenge be? It's gonna be awesome.
We're walking through a park.
We're trying to figure out what could possibly be around the corner.
And then we come up to the amphitheater, and McKenzie is standing there by a nice oak table with all these scrolls on it.
- Hey, guys.
- Morning.
Welcome to the beautiful Farnsworth Park Amphitheater.
Are you guys ready to find out about your next Focus Challenge? Yes.
Of course.
That's cool.
I'm excited that we're just just focusing on the face.
But I'm also really nervous because everything needs to be perfect.
Let's do this.
in the Elizabethan Era, talented playwrights like William Shakespeare broke down class barriers by captivating European royalty and the peasantry alike.
Since then, Shakespeare's plays have been performed countless times in theaters all over the world.
Here's the thing Did you know that back then they didn't allow women to act on stage? All the parts were played by men.
See where I'm going here with this, right? Yeah.
Your Focus Challenge is to transform your male models into one of the leading ladies from a Shakespeare play.
- Awesome.
- Oh, my God.
Yes.
Never done a gender swap.
I know nothing about it.
This is the scariest challenge so far for me.
Now I know that this is a tough one, so we chose characters for you that are a little more on the colorful side.
They're everything from Amazonians warriors to fairies and witches.
And to help you even more, I brought in my secret weapon.
Secret weapon? In fact, she won an Oscar for turning Robin Williams into Mrs.
Doubtfire.
Please give a warm welcome to makeup artist extraordinaire, three-time Academy Award winner, and Face Off series judge, Ms.
Ve Neill.
Yes, Ms.
Ve Neill.
- I absolutely love Ve Neill.
- Hi, guys.
And what's really great about having her here is she has done one of the most iconic gender swap makeups in all of film history, so I'm really excited right now.
I can't wait to hear what she has to say.
Thanks for joining us here and hanging out in the park.
Yeah.
This is exciting.
So why don't you tell these guys a little bit about your experience transforming Robin Williams into Mrs.
Doubtfire? Um, wow.
I have so many great stories about Robin.
Um, I think probably one of the funnest ones was we were out shooting on the streets of San Francisco, and this gentleman wandered up to me and said, "Hey, is Mr.
Williams gonna be here today?" And I said, "Well, gee, I think he's around here somewhere.
" And in fact, Robin was standing right next to me in the Mrs.
Doubtfire makeup, so that just proved to me how well it was going to work.
- It was awesome.
- That's fantastic.
That says a lot.
Well, this isn't an easy challenge obviously, so what words of wisdom do you have for these guys? Remember this is a Focus Challenge, so the emphasis is on the face.
Pay attention to your edges.
You want to make sure that the beard is covered up.
And a lot of that can be done with a really lovely, like, peachy orange color underneath everything.
It'll just wipe out the blue of the beard.
Make it as soft and beautiful as you can if that's what it requires.
And, of course, a little bit of glitter when it's necessary.
Yes.
- Thank you, Ve, so much.
- You're welcome.
All right, each one of these scrolls bears the name of a female character from one of Shakespeare's plays.
When I call your name, come on up, grab one, and see what you're working with.
Nora, you're up first.
Oh, boy.
- Sycorax.
- I'm so jealous.
- Very cool.
- Cleopatra.
- Ooh.
- Hmm.
All right, I'll go for this one.
Queen Mab.
I feel good about this one.
Joan of Arc.
Let's try this one.
Titania.
All right, guys, it's time to start sketching your characters.
All your tablets have been loaded with information about your characters and plays.
My dad and I will stop by the lab later on to check in on your progress.
- Good luck.
- Have fun, you guys.
Bye, Ve.
I end up picking Queen Mab from Romeo and Juliet.
She's a mythical creature.
She's a fairy.
She brings dreams and nightmares to people.
She rides in a hazelnut carriage, and beats a cricket with a bone, and she's very insect-like.
I am super stoked because instead of having to just focus on a straight-up beauty makeup, I do get to add that creature element, which relieves a lot of the stress.
Because it's a little more exciting to do something creature-y, even to just do a chick on a guy.
I have never done a gender swap before, so this is gonna be interesting.
I got Lady Macbeth, and she's just a straight-up female character, so I'm even more worried now because I've basically got to turn a man into a beautiful woman.
In my design, I just start drawing different female faces just to find out what kind of features I'm gonna bring in to this character.
I'm thinking I'm gonna do a full facial sculpture to completely hide all of the male aspects of the face.
Transgender makeup is my Friday nights in Vegas, so I'm pretty comfortable with this.
Hermione is a beautiful queen who is banished from her kingdom for committing adultery with her king's best friend.
Because this is another Focus Challenge, this is all about the face.
He's got to look like a woman.
He's gotta look beautiful, and he's gotta look like a pregnant queen.
Stevie? - Yeah.
- Thanks.
I have Joan of Arc from Henry VI.
She was a very fierce warrior, and she led a lot of male troops into combat.
So I have to take a man and turn him into a girl that's pretending to be a man.
That's gonna be really tricky.
The female form is more gentle and more sloping than the male form, so it's gonna require a delicate sloping jaw, some cheekbones that are a little higher, a brow that's slightly raised.
Since the Focus Challenge is all about the face, I am going to create the illusion of subtraction on my male model.
I'm ready to go to the lab and start putting clay on my life cast to see how I can logistically pull this off.
All right, guys, let's head back to the lab.
I picked Hippolyta from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
She is this Amazon goddess, and she is the warrior leader of this all-female tribe.
So I start blocking out the forms, rounding out a lot of his features, bring out his chin, his cheeks, to make them softer, but more fierce.
Changing a guy into a girl I have not done, so this one's definitely going to be tough for me.
I have Sycorax of The Tempest.
She's a female sorceress.
She's a witch.
She's a ugly, blue-eyed hag, but doing an old-age makeup on Face Off is like a death wish, so this is gonna be a challenge because I have to do a gender swap and an amazing old age makeup.
I'm really nervous.
- Don't get lost in your head.
- I'm not.
I'm just lost on this fucking face.
It's a little bit unnerving to do a gender swap makeup.
It is a very, very, very specialized thing to do, but I've seen a lot of drag shows.
My boyfriend is actually a drag queen, so I'm hoping to bring that into this challenge.
Mine's just like straight-up make this manliest man in the world right here-- look at this dude-- into a little girl.
Dude, mine's pretty manly, too.
I got Ophelia from Hamlet.
I'm a little bit thrown off, mostly because she is just a human being.
A little bit cuckoo, but still just a girl, so I have to turn a man into a young, sexy woman.
This is definitely gonna be a difficult one for me.
I picked Hecate.
She's the goddess and protector of witchcraft, and the queen of ghosts.
What I want to do is create an undead, scary, pretty lady.
I'm gonna do bigger cheekbones around her face, and more of an arcing brow.
Instead of keeping it smooth, I'm gonna add some more undead texture to it.
And I think that I'm gonna run it in silicone to give it the transparency that it needs.
Cheekbones for days.
It's what makes us women so beautiful.
I'm sculpting this face piece and it's, like, it's just not really connecting.
I don't want to make it just a female, but I don't want to make it, like I gotcha.
I'm having a really hard time getting the sculpt to look old and ugly.
And I don't want to make this stereotypical witch.
I'm just, like, so fucked right now.
Really just kinda running into a wall here.
I don't really know what to do.
I'm sweating bullets.
I just feel like I don't-- I don't fucking know.
I'm completely lost right now.
This challenge is steep.
Trying to do a gender swap on a Shakespearian character.
It's not easy.
I'm getting really frustrated.
I think the most important part is getting-- getting that shape right, you know? It sucks, but at this point I'm running out of time.
I make the decision to just rip all the clay off of my life cast and completely start over.
Instead of doing an old-age makeup, I'm just going to make this broad ugly as hell, and I just hammer out the sculpt as fast as possible.
Painting it? - Why? - Because it was going in a hopeless direction.
I'm happy this is another Focus Challenge.
I feel that's where I thrive as an artist is in the details.
William Shakespeare is very deliberate in describing Cleopatra.
She is extremely beautiful.
And so I want to keep certain elements of that character that are very traditional, like the poignant Eye of Horus makeup.
I also want to keep certain elements like the headdress.
Since this is a character that's so well-known, everyone has their preconceived ideas of what she looks like, but I'm confident that I'm gonna be able to pull it off.
I'm gonna make Omar such a pretty lady.
I have Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
She's the queen of the fairies, and she is kind of a trickster, prankster, so I'm rolling with the fairy aspect of this world.
I've done a gender swap on myself for my audition video for Face Off.
It gave me a good idea of where feminine features start and end, and what to kind of hide on a man's face.
The main thing I'm focusing on is pulling out all of the masculine features on my model.
His forehead is pretty masculine, so I have to soften that out, and then add more mass to the cheeks because he doesn't really have any.
I add a filigree detail in the face sculpturally that I think will enhance the more feminine features.
I'm feeling pretty good about what I have right now.
Omar, you better be pretty, you fucker.
Since I'm doing Hermione from A Winter's Tale, I have my pregnant belly and prominent brows, but I'm also gonna be putting a crown piece on her, so I need an elegant hairstyle.
I find this really beautiful blonde wig.
I split her hair down the middle and do this crossover fishtail braid.
It's really beautiful.
I love it; it's so cute.
And then I decide I want her to have some sort of emotion on stage because this is a Shakespearean play.
I need tears.
I need her to look sad.
And I need it to showcase from across the room.
I use some hot glue, and I just dribble down teardrop shapes, and let them harden, and I glue them on with a little eyelash adhesive, and boom, they look like legit tears, so I'm really excited to put these on her face.
Hello, everybody.
- Here to check in on you.
- How are ya? I have Hippolyta.
She's an Amazon goddess.
My model, he's got a very, very wide face.
I've been struggling to get it female.
You do that by extending your cheekbones a little bit more.
It's starting to fall off, but it'll fall off - a little bit more.
- Okay.
I got Lady Macbeth.
I'm trying to just sculpt a complete female face.
You're getting rid of the beard line - with a full appliance.
- Mm-hmm.
Good job with the nose.
What are you gonna do for the neck? I was thinking about maybe incorporating part of a neck piece just to come down, like, neat.
You can come down to here a little bit as opposed to a little narrow thing, and make it nice and smooth.
- I think it's good.
- Cool, thank you.
I have Queen Mab from Romeo and Juliet.
What are you gonna do with the eyeballs? - My sketch is right over here.
- Okay, let's see that.
I wanted to give her very, like, insect qualities.
I'm actually gonna use the spider legs to indicate a crown coming out of her forehead.
This will give more to the face - Mm-hmm.
- by doing this as angular face that you're trying to create.
If you'll take and beef this up a little bit through here.
- I like it.
- Awesome.
I have Hecate.
She's the goddess of the underworld and the protector of witchcraft.
I was gonna do a translucent dead flesh.
And then I was gonna give her, like, black lips, and I wanted to do some darker veining on it.
All of a sudden, this is kind of wrinkled, what you done here.
So you want to bring it around there, do your skeleton type of thing.
- Yep.
- But keep it smooth.
- How are you in beauty makeup? - Okay.
It needs good beauty makeup.
Either some little half lashes or something right on the outside edge there.
You need to bring as much femininity - into it as you can.
- Okay.
What character did you get? I got Ophelia.
She's definitely more of an innocent girl who ends up going crazy.
So I brought his nose out to a more pixie-like point.
I can actually run my hand down here and you got a flat plane, of which winds up in a very harsh area here.
Round it out here.
Round these out, and you're gonna get more into your female.
Very sound advice.
The character from The Tempest that I have, the Sycorax, is like a ugly sorceress, which works in my favor.
I just can't figure out how to soften his very angular masculine features.
I'm having, like, a hell of a time with it.
Raise the forehead, add a little bit more clay on to your brow ridge.
You've got pretty angular lines right there.
I would smooth this out all the way across there.
You're gonna raise your-- up here to your nasolabial folds.
You're gonna leave this area here alone, but just enough, even in the lips to be able to differentiate between - the guy and a girl.
- Gotcha.
- Okay? - Cool.
I got Joan of Arc.
The struggle I'm having is she definitely was not a girly character.
- Right.
- Another thing, she led a lot of people into combat.
I was thinking of giving her maybe a scar going across her face, or just something that kind of tells her story more.
Something on the cheek there and coming across the front of the cheek, as opposed to coming down like that.
Sure.
Thank you.
- Good luck to everybody.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.
Do you want to dance? With me? The prettiest lady in the ball.
- Sir? - Let me see.
I really like your makeup.
We just start putting on the wigs and joking around.
What's up? Ben puts on a wig and Jordan puts on a wig, and we're just kind of having this wig party, and everybody just looks hilarious.
No, you still look Southern, dude.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
We just gotta cut a little steam sometimes, and just have fun with it, so it's a fun day in the lab right now.
What do you say me and you go to, like, - Six Flags or something? - I live right by Six Flags.
Sweet.
All right, three, two, one.
I'm noticing there's not really any design in this that makes it Joan of Arc, so to enhance her badassness, I take Mr.
Westmore's advice and I'm gonna give her a scar right down her cheek like she got slashed in battle.
So I just roll up a piece of clay, stick it on the face, and just blend it to look like a raised puffy scar that's been there for a while.
It looks like a woman, so here we go.
It's mold time.
In Romeo and Juliet, Queen Mab has spider-like spokes on the wheels of her carriage, so I give her spider legs that poke out into a crown that is going out of her forehead.
To make these spider legs, I use Armature Wire, sukas latex, and tissues.
And I make a couple of different sizes, and they're looking, like, creepy and gross and awesome.
I'm feeling pretty excited.
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
I need to get a good base color for my silicone because I want to do an undead flesh tone.
Let me see here.
So I mix up some different colors, do a couple of tests.
This is actually a good middle range color right here.
Like for a basic flesh tone.
I'm feeling pretty good about it, but silicone is very tricky.
And I just hope that it comes out looking good.
Color wheel is important.
I haven't done ethnic tones before.
It does make me nervous, so I want to make sure I get my model's skin tone right first before the beauty makeup.
I'm going with darker reds and rouges.
I want to bring gold into the makeup, which pops against that darker skin tone.
I'm ready for Application Day.
It's just nerve-wracking because so much of this is gonna be about the painting and the beauty makeup.
Tomorrow is gonna be an interesting day.
- Whoo! - I hear it.
Okay.
I got a bad-- I don't know what happened.
Fucking there.
So thick.
- I can't fucking believe it.
- Yeah.
I am really nervous because my edges are a lot thicker than I thought.
Fuck.
I don't have that blending edge that I wanted, so now I'm using Cabo-Patch, which is a silicone adhesive used for blending edges.
But I'm worried because now they're not gonna be nearly as good.
Fuck.
There he is! - Hey, man.
- How's it going, man? You are Queen Mab from Romeo and Juliet.
No, you're gonna be pregnant.
First thing I need to do is lay down my prosthetic.
She is a queen.
I want her to look regal, royal, beautiful, flawless, so I need to get all the edges as gorgeous as possible.
I'm really taking my time with my application right now to make these edges completely disappear, so that when I go on with my foundation, and my airbrush, and all my beauty makeup, it just looks like seamless, beautiful skin.
I'm really used to doing makeup like this in Vegas actually, but never with prosthetics.
I get everything applied, and all my edges seem pretty good.
Okay, I'm gonna powder you up and then you'll-- you'll be good to go.
The first thing I do is get a layer of PAX paint on him.
I do a little bit of a lighter color than his skin tone.
Then I go through and I start spattering reds and blues and browns into it.
I'll be as pretty as all the other princesses.
He's a fierce female.
I just lost so much time fixing the edges.
Fuck.
But at this point, there's no way I'm gonna be able to get the silicone painted the way that I want.
I'm really, really bummed out.
This chin is just so, so wrinkly.
I notice that any movement that the model has cause these weird old-woman wrinkles.
It's definitely a huge issue because the character's a young woman, and these wrinkles are making her look like an old lady.
Being that she's insane, I decide maybe she's picking at her face.
I take those edges and those weird spots that just aren't formed right, and I pluck them out to make it look like she's tearing at bits of her flesh.
I'm a little bit nervous about this one.
My God, you look terrifying.
You the sandman.
I base her out in a very pale flesh skin tone color.
You comfortable? Are you doing okay? Mm-hmm.
Then I paint the spider eyes an aqua sea foam color.
I'm pretty happy with the way that everything is looking right now, but I keep looking around the room, and everybody's doing beautiful ladies, and I have a bug lady.
It's scary.
Nobody else did that, and it could be a nail in the coffin for me.
- I'm ripping it all apart.
- Oh, wow.
I don't know what to do.
Everything is looking really good until I start to paint it.
Ben, I'm about to lose my shit.
I start to stipple a cream-based foundation.
It's going gummy, completely gummy and breaking up.
I can't put a scar in the middle of her face.
She's a queen.
There's no way I can save this right now.
This stupid shit.
I have 30 minutes to remove this entire face, and start from scratch.
For this being a Focus Challenge, it is very detrimental to not have something work out beautiful on the face.
Now I have to do a killer beauty makeup, and that's it.
- Bitch.
- Damn it.
That's time, guys.
I'm worried that I am the only artist out of everyone here right now that has no prosthetic.
I'm really just hoping that this was a smart decision.
I have one hour left to complete the beauty makeup.
I start painting up his lips with the Kryolan lip palette, and then I actually highlight that with a Kryolan gold lipstick.
And I think he looks kinda pretty.
Anything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong for me.
But I have to like-- anything else I do to it is gonna make it worse, but I decide to do a little more veining on it to make it look more dead, even though there's no saving this makeup at this point.
I'm gonna have you look down at the floor.
I have to apply eyelashes I know it feels really weird, - doesn't it? - Mm-hmm.
And finish the beauty makeup.
I'm very excited with how womanly she is looking.
You're the baddest bitch fairy ever.
Nice.
I'm still not really digging the scabbing on the face, so I try to bring the color down a little bit, and it's making it a lot worse.
Everything about this makeup is reading "old woman.
" With me having to scrap my piece, the beauty makeup is the only thing that's gonna save me.
I need to bump up his eyes.
I need to get lashes on him, get lips on him, and pray that my painting skills are gonna save my ass right now.
That's time, everybody.
Thank you.
You look awesome.
I'm really disappointed in myself, but at this point it's out of my control.
This is a time where I would love a save.
Welcome to the Face Off Reveal Stage.
Now you know our esteemed series judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio, - Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening, guys.
Hey, Glenn.
Oscar and Emmy Award-winning makeup artist, - Ve Neill.
- Good eve, how art thou? Hey, Ve.
And creature and concept designer, Neville Page.
- Hello.
- Hi, Neville.
This week for your second Focus Challenge, we asked you to do something pretty unconventional-- turn your male models into famous female Shakespeare characters.
So let's take a look at how you guys tackled this one.
Kevin, you're up first.
I'm happy with this makeup.
It wasn't an easy challenge.
And I think I pulled off something really hard.
I am proud of this makeup.
I just hope the judges read her as female like I do.
It is the beautiful fairy queen.
I think it all communicates really well, and I think he looks great on the stage.
I think my girl is beautiful, so I'm very happy with the way that I did in this challenge.
He looks female.
He looks like an ugly, blue-eyed hag, and he looks creepy, so I'm stoked right now.
He looks great.
I think I succeeded in the gender swap.
He looks like a woman, and that is awesome.
It looks like a drag queen, and it's just not feminine enough.
I really failed on this challenge.
Ophelia looks absolutely ridiculous.
I'm a little bit shaken.
Definitely bottom.
Possibly going home.
So with not ever doing a gender swap, not doing beauty makeup, he looks like a believable Lady Macbeth, and I feel great about it.
He looks like a glowing pregnant woman.
I think I was able to pull something out, and if I didn't, then damn, I've done a lot of men wrong in Las Vegas.
So judges, why don't you take a closer look at our lovely ladies.
Kind of looks like she used hair for the eyebrows, which, I mean, helps it to look a little more realistic, but - Yeah.
- It's just the surface of it's - so rough.
- Rough.
It's rough, but it still looks like a woman.
- This looks pretty good.
- Very nice simple forms.
- And pretty decent edges, too.
- Mm-hmm.
The thing that really shows that it's a prosthetic is just that division of gloss and matte.
The tones and the blending for what this is, it's not bad.
Meg pretty successfully captured the feminine attributes just in the form language of the face.
Absolutely.
I like the fact that she has this insect thing going on - because she is a fairy.
- Mm-hmm.
The color is just horrible.
The paint application, the hard veining.
Just kind of muddy, messed up.
It looks horrible.
It's so over-painted that it doesn't look like silicone anymore.
It does enter into the world of drag.
I don't think there's any saving grace.
It think it's a bottom look guaranteed.
All right, guys, it's time to get on Twitter and tell us who made your favorite female Shakespearean character using #FaceOff The color is just horrible.
It's just kind of muddy, messed up.
My makeup's so over-painted that it doesn't look like silicone anymore.
It's so bad that it could just send me home.
It's comedic.
It's so wrinkly, and this edge feels like - it's just raw latex.
- Yeah.
The point of this challenge is edges and blending, and I told them to be really careful with that, and it's kind of a failure in my book.
None of this is glued down.
There's also a big problem in the way that the nose goes into the upper lip.
It's all so far out.
But it does look feminine.
I think it was a good choice not to put prosthetics on him 'cause his face is already big.
The giant teardrops on the face is kind of a bizarre choice.
Probably trying to figure out who the baby daddy is.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations, so let's find out what they thought.
Nora.
Scott.
Kevon.
Ben.
Jordan.
Jasmine.
Congratulations because you are all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
Thank you.
Good luck.
The rest of you are the best and the worst this week, and the judges would like to hear from each of you.
Ricky, if you would please step forward.
Ricky, tell me about your process in creating this character.
Ophelia was once a beautiful maiden, and she went into lapses of absolute insanity.
The skins and the sores, they're actually her picking at her skin.
I really don't feel ya on this one.
I got you.
In this challenge, first and foremost, you had to get the female form, and that's where it falls down for me.
OMG, WTF.
I can see the character there, I just think between the paint and your inability to really make all this work, it doesn't work for me this week.
Understood.
I thought the character is complete and the ideas are all good.
It's really the application that makes it so hard to get past.
Completely understood.
Ricky, you can step back.
Stevie, please step forward.
Stevie, please tell us about your character you've created.
My character is Hippolyta.
She is an Amazon warrior goddess from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
I think you've done a really nice complete character.
Your blending edges are all lovely, and in general, you've done a really good job creating a female character for us.
Thank you.
The sculpture is beautiful and soft and appropriately feminine.
The thing that I found quite nice as well is the beauty makeup.
Thank you.
This is certainly one of the most successful makeups on the stage tonight in terms of making your male character look female.
You used all the right forms.
It's a great job.
Thank you.
Stevie, you can step back.
Meg, please step forward.
Tell us about your gender swap character.
My character is Queen Mab.
She's a Sandman fairy.
I saw her as more insect than simply a human fairy.
Well, I think you made the right decision.
There's a great read from a distance on this character.
Very sexy, very exotic.
I'm impressed.
Thank you.
I think the feminine attributes are the most apparent in this makeup, and the multitudinous decisions that you had to make in a one-day Focus Challenge is incredibly successful.
Thank you.
She's absolutely stunning.
Your colors are gorgeous.
The fact that you used that maroon along the cheekbone to look like blush.
You hit every single note.
Thank you.
Meg, please step back.
Thank you.
Evan, please step up.
Evan, tell us about the concept.
This is Hecate from Macbeth, and she's the Queen of Ghosts and the protector of witchcraft.
I just did a one-piece silicone.
The veins are senselessly applied.
They're just directionless.
I don't mind the light tone, but I didn't even know it was silicone.
You used so much color, which completely defeats the purpose of having a beautiful semi-translucent material.
The whole character is kind of a mishmosh for me.
- She looks like a drag queen.
- Yeah.
I think you probably would have been better off trying to just do a decent beauty makeup on her.
It definitely looks like you got lost somewhere along the line.
I did.
Yeah.
This buries the actor's eyes.
Because of the makeup and the size of the eyelash, it makes it very difficult to penetrate.
I totally agree, yes.
Evan, you can step back.
Thanks, man.
I know.
All right, guys, if you'd please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
Oh, boy.
All right, judges, let's talk about your favorites this week.
Why don't we start with Stevie? I think Stevie's was the cleanest female makeup onstage tonight, and I mean, if we look at just that core element of the Focus Challenge, that's what it was all about.
She chose a really gorgeous tone.
She looked beautiful.
And she gave herself enough room to do a really simple, elegant beauty makeup as well.
Let's move on to Meg.
She used that insect quality.
That was really cool.
Meg was so successful in capturing female forms within a fantasy creature makeup.
I loved it.
I thought it was fantastic.
I was glad that she made the decision to be that aggressive, that confident, that bold with this choice.
Let's move on to the makeups that didn't quite come together this week.
Why don't we start with Ricky? Oh, boy, that's a holy smoke for me.
It was a series of decisions that went from bad to worse.
Not only did we not get the forms right in sculpture, but I don't know what color it should be.
Let's put some sores, and that actually made it more garish.
The whole thing was a disaster.
By making the rouge so poorly applied and the eye makeup so poorly done, Those would have been great choices for the character, but his history with paint makes it seem like that's all he's capable of.
All right, let's move on to Evan.
It was a missed chance here for him to do something really cool and create some cool character, and it wouldn't have looked like a drag queen then.
It's a really poorly done drag queen.
The paint work was completely arbitrary.
No matter what he was applying this with-- I don't care if he got a spray can-- Veins don't go across your face in that direction.
From the get-go, this was a completely wrong approach.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? - Yes, we have.
- We have.
Okay, let's bring 'em back out and crown a winner.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the top looks.
Stevie, your character felt very soft and very feminine, and you gave us a very clean application and paint job.
Thank you.
Meg, you really surprised us with a beautiful female creature, and we liked the way that you used the paint to complement your sculpting.
So who is the winner of this challenge? The winner of tonight's challenge is So who is the winner of this challenge? The winner of tonight's challenge is Meg.
- Good job, Meg.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, guys.
It is very clear to us that you made a lot of smart, quick decisions this week which enabled you to deliver an outstanding character.
Thank you.
This is probably the proudest makeup I've ever done, because I really challenged myself, and it's really restoring a lot of my energy and my confidence.
Meg, congratulations.
You and Stevie can head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you, guys.
- Good job, Stevie.
- Thank you.
- You guys rock.
Good luck, guys.
All right, guys, that means the two of you are in the bottom this week and one of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Ricky, your ideas were good, but your painting and the application of the prosthetic were both really rough.
Evan, some of your big picture shapes weren't bad, but your character was over-painted, and it was really hard for us to make any sense of that vein work.
Who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Ricky.
You missed on both of the major components of this Focus Challenge-- course application and he still looked like a guy.
Ricky, I'm so sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means Evan, you are safe this week and can head back to the makeup room.
Ricky, you've done some really cool characters since you've been with us.
If you really work hard on your paint jobs, you are gonna go really far in this business, so I wish you all the best of luck.
Thank you so much.
Ricky, it's been so great having you here with us, but if you'd please, head back to the makeup room and pack your kit.
Thanks, guys.
You guys are awesome.
- Good luck, honey.
- Good luck.
Take care, Ricky.
I put out a bad makeup, so of course, I'd be eliminated for it.
It's surreal that I made it to this point, and I'm really happy I met the people that I met.
Shower me with love.
I'm gonna take what I've learned here and what I've learned just from everybody around me, and I'm gonna keep rolling with makeup, and I hope to inspire people that thought they could go nowhere, but definitely can go somewhere with some weird, crazy talent they've got.
