Face Off (2011) s10e04 Episode Script

It's a great-looking character.
So that's really bad.
That's a successful makeup.
Thank you.
Previously on Face Off Yvonne's creative cowl took her to the top, but Ant missed the mark and was sent home.
- And tonight - Welcome to Command Central.
The artists face an impossible mission.
Aaah.
- This jaw is gonna be cartoony.
- Cartoony? This is the last thing I want to hear.
I'm, like, very behind.
I really bit off more than I can chew.
It's very convincing.
So little about this feels authentic.
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 2016 FIAT 500, and $100,000.
This is Face Off.
Who knows what we're gonna have today? I'm feeling pretty refreshed.
I feel a lot better about myself.
Winning last week gave me some confidence.
It's pretty good to be safe.
Safe is comfy, so I don't want to be safe.
I came here for a reason, and I really want to show the judges that I have what it takes.
I'm, like, desperate to win one.
Your time is coming.
- Uh-oh.
- Oh.
- Scary.
- Good morning, - ladies and gentlemen.
- Morning.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Welcome to Command Central.
What the hell? What is going on? McKenzie is standing in front of this giant TV screen.
It looks like we're about to be interrogated.
- Face Off.
- Agents of S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
This is freaky.
This is freaky.
You were all selected because of your unique skill set, and your mission is highly classified.
- Are you ready to be briefed? - Yes.
Good.
In Sci-Fi's upcoming series, Hunters, a secret government unit tracks down a group of ruthless terrorists whose origins are shrouded in mystery.
These terrorists display supernatural abilities, proving difficult to combat.
So for today's individual Focus Challenge, you will attempt to turn the tide on these terrorists by creating foolproof realistic disguises for your model agents with the goal of rendering them as unrecognizable as possible.
It's a hard thing to do to make a realistic disguise, and it's an individual challenge.
Aaah.
This is gonna be really tough.
This stuff isn't just in movies and TV shows.
On a daily basis, our government sends agents deep undercover.
Lucky for you guys, I was able to secure someone who has created real life disguises for many people that he cannot disclose.
- Nice.
- That's cool.
Please give a warm welcome to my dad, Michael Westmore.
Hi, everybody.
Thanks for being here.
Now I know that you've done a lot of work on people that you can't talk about, but are there any that you can? I had a nice time working with the Los Angeles Police Department doing a lot of undercover work.
- Wow.
- That's cool.
There was one man that came to the studio that said he was going to go on a masquerade party.
So I built a disguise for him.
He went to Vegas and held up a casino.
So I've had all kinds of fun things.
- Holy cow.
- Then to top it all was I had the opportunity to work with Michael Jackson.
We built disguises for Michael to be able to drive out his driveway and not have all the fans follow him.
What? Wow.
All right, so what is the key to making these realistic makeups? You have to consider the shape of the face you're dealing with because you're going to reconfigure the bone structure.
And, there's lots of little details that can be added too, as far as freckles, and making dentures, and contact lenses.
All these things are needed to create a disguised character.
Great advice, as always.
All right, are you guys ready to meet your models-- - I mean, agents? - Yes.
All right, let's see who we have in the field.
Instead of choosing your agents, they've already been assigned to you.
Reach underneath your seat and pull out your folders.
Oh, no.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh.
- You can do it.
- All right, before you head off to start working on your designs, I do have a surprise for you.
- Oh, God.
- Oh.
A producing legend will be joining the judging panel this week.
She's an executive producer for The Walking Dead and of course the show that inspired this challenge, Hunters.
The one and only Gale Anne Hurd.
Oh, nice.
I'm a major Walking Dead fan, so to have Gale Anne Hurd be the guest judge on this is amazing.
So as a reminder, because this is a Focus Challenge, the focus is on the face.
The judges expect precision.
They expect beautiful edges.
I'm so scared.
- I'm scared too.
- We'll be by later on to check in and see how you're doing.
Until then, you're dismissed.
- And good luck.
- Thank you.
I have Agent Amsdell, and I'm going to be disguising her from being a young, blonde female, into a being a young Asian male.
I know I'm taking a risk, but I feel very comfortable that I can do it.
So in order to pull off this disguise, I am creating one appliance for the eyes and to broaden the nose, and then I'm doing two cheek pieces to broaden the face to make it more male.
I know that racial change as well as a gender change is gonna make it a lot harder, but it'll have a bigger payoff if I can pull it off.
So, game on.
I'm really excited for this challenge.
I dress up as Charlie Day pretty regularly.
I love this character in It's Always Sunny.
So I think this challenge will work well with my skill set.
My Agent McDonough is going to be disguised as the leader of the FBI.
She's portraying an older woman, and she's trying to figure out how deep the corruption goes in her agency.
I'm moving her eyebrows up just a smidge and lowering her cheekbones, and then just generally giving her a more sagging appearance.
I'm feeling pretty good about it, but I don't want to jinx it.
I think if you do disguise, if you overdo it, it looks fake.
I have Agent Popzlateva, and I will turn her into a male maintenance worker.
To turn her into a guy is quite a challenge because she has a very tiny face, tiny chin.
I'll be making her chin and her nose wider, and laying a beard by hand.
I was in bottom looks the last two challenges, so it's extremely refreshing to have an individual challenge.
No more getting approval of my ideas.
My model is Agent Fuller.
I'm gonna make him into a heavy metal musician.
I'm gonna accentuate his jaw, his brow bone, and his cheeks, and his nose even.
So I'm designing a full facial appliance.
His band's called Face Off.
Face Off! I'm very excited because the only thing I wanted going into this challenge was a woman.
Because women have smaller features, it is easier to add in disguise rather than trying to subtract an existing feature.
I have Agent Stiles and I'm going to be disguising her as an elderly man.
My plan is to do a forehead, and neck, and cheek piece, and the nose will be run separately.
I was hoping this whole time we'd get to do an old age makeup so maybe I'm pushing that agenda on this challenge, but I worry about my ability to do it in the time allotted.
I really want to push myself and impress the judges.
So I'm thinking turning Agent Wright into an eastern Indian woman will be a perfect way to do it.
As I start sculpting, I use Nieli, Johnny's model, as reference.
She's very unique-looking, and my model has very subtle features.
So I'm gonna round out my model's face, heighten her cheekbones, and I put a hook in the nose that changed the overall shape.
Being able to take her forms and transfer them is going to be difficult.
I've never done anything like this before so this challenge is kind of putting me on edge.
What are you guys doing? Making snaps.
For Agent Johnson I'm planning to disguise him as someone who you wouldn't even suspect walking by.
A lighter-skinned, strawberry blonde, green-eyed man in his mid-50s.
The complete opposite of what he looks like.
Because this is a Focus Challenge, I'm using Chavant Clay which is an oil-based plasteline clay that is really good for fine details and textures.
So I downturn his nose, fill in his cheeks, I bring his top lip up, shrink his lower lip, and it's looking completely different to what my model actually looks like.
- What's your idea? - He's gonna be like a hipster.
A flannel-wearing, beanie-wearing-- - I got you.
- For my Agent Scamman, I'm going to disguise him as a late 20s, early 30s, coffee-drinking, chubby hipster just walking around town.
Because I don't want to have to deal with recreating eyebrows I decide to finish the sculpture at the bridge of the nose and right underneath the eyes.
I'm giving him plump features.
I'm also thinking a broken nose with a little bit of a bump.
So I'm nervous about it being a subtle makeup, but if I go too extreme I could blow his cover.
The pressure that you have to have this done today Yep.
There is no other option.
Nope.
Hey, guys, we're back to check in on you.
- How are you? - Hi.
Hey.
I have Cristof.
I would like to do kind of like a Hell's Angel motorcycle club member, lighter than him.
Then I'm gonna do a separate nose.
But the one thing that's really disturbing me, this jaw jutting out like that, I think it's gonna be cartoony.
- Cartoony? - Yeah, it just tapers too fast.
This is the last thing I want to hear.
I'm definitely worried because this is a Focus Challenge.
The face has to be perfect.
If I don't put a realistic makeup in front of the judges, that's probably it for me, and it might send me home.
This jaw, jutting out like that, I think it's gonna be cartoony.
- Cartoony? - Yeah, it just tapers too fast.
If you want it to come out that far, you need - to fill in the cheeks here.
- Okay.
If I put a cartoony makeup in front of the judges, that's probably it for me, and it might send me home.
So what I would do, make a whole piece here to broaden his face, then you'll believe the wide jaw.
Because this is a Focus Challenge, we're only working on the face, so it has to be perfect.
- We need to protect our agent.
- Right.
All right, pleasure.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Walter.
I have Agent Phillips.
I wanted to go for, like, a middle-aged, darker skin, maintenance man.
In your profile you've got a ski nose going.
You need to fill this out a little bit.
Like more flat? - Yes.
- Okay.
Because there is a real strong slope, you know? - Okay.
- I got Agent Johnson.
I'm doing mid-50s, old age.
He has hollow cheeks, sharp features, so I went as opposite of him as I possibly could.
Make sure you can bring that skin texture into here, because the age you're giving him, you don't want it to look like glass.
Okay.
I have Agent Nieli.
She has very distinct features.
Yes, she does.
With what her face naturally looks like, I figured African descent would be the way to go.
So I want to push her eyes back by bringing the face out some, and bring the chin forward.
There's a couple spots I think you're pretty thin.
- Okay.
- Right there, you might add a little bit more cheek bone.
- Okay.
- My mission is to change Brielle into a college-aged Asian male.
Whoa.
Okay.
I don't know if you've done enough on the inside corner - of the eye.
- Okay.
Instead of being so high here, this could cut across here a little bit more into there.
Mr.
Westmore pointed out some very useful things.
I'm gonna take every bit of his advice, and I immediately get to work.
All right.
My Agent McDonough is going to be disguised as an older woman, like late 50s, early 60s.
I sculpted the shape of the face, now I'm gonna age her a little bit.
Texture is the thing that's really gonna sell my piece.
I want it to be a subtle texture so I take thick plastic, and I just start tacking through it.
That creates a softer skin texture and makes it look more organic.
I'm very happy with my face sculpture.
She definitely looks like a different person.
Anyone else scared out of their mind - about an individual challenge? - Mm-mm.
I'm scared about this challenge.
It has to look super real.
Doing realistic makeup is hard, and it's our first time working alone so it's super scary.
Are you guys gonna use foam or silicone? - Foam.
- If I knew how to do silicone well, I would.
This isn't the time to go exploring.
- It's so much easier to paint.
- Silicone? To make it look like real skin.
No, I know that, but I know how to paint foam - to look like skin and I-- - I don't.
I think this Focus Challenge is a lot to ask because we have to create this super realistic makeup in 10 hours, we have to apply it and paint it to be super realistic, and we have to fool the judges to not knowing who our model agent is.
It's a tall order.
- See you guys later.
- Bye, Anna.
- I think he looks good.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
- Thanks.
I have a lot of work to do on my face sculpt.
Michael Westmore said it's too cartoony.
I'm glad Mr.
Westmore suggested that I change it because I want this to look as realistic as possible.
You really broadened his jaw a lot so it looks good.
Hopefully he's less cartoony.
I don't think he looks cartoony.
That's good.
I take Mr.
Westmore's advice to bring the corner of the eye in more in order to hide the model's eyes and to make her look more Asian, and immediately it looks better.
Immediately.
Now I'm probably way over-confident.
Now I'm just like, "Oh, what are you doing? No, I'm sorry.
Gender swap, race swap happening over here.
" So I'm very over-confident right now.
Have you done disguises on yourself before? Yes, I've done disguises before.
- Like what? - Almost always male disguises.
I was the tallest person in our costuming group so I was usually stuck with the male characters since we were an all-female group.
I was able to hang out with my friends and they had no idea.
I got really good at it so I just kept going.
I would totally disguise myself as a boy.
The biggest thing is not so much how your face looks, it's your body language, like adapting certain stances.
So pretend to adjust yourself a whole bunch? You have to adjust yourself.
Sit with your legs open, you know, that kind of thing.
Because we do that nonstop.
If I'm not picking my nose, I'm adjusting myself.
It's all I can do as a guy.
I finish sculpting pretty early since I just make a chin and a nose.
So I'm the first one in the mold room and it's a good feeling.
So I know I can afford to take my time to make a nice, clean mold.
I'm, like, totally regretting this decision.
Why? It looks great.
I'm five hours in, and I feel like I might have screwed myself doing an old age gender change.
I feeling, like, very behind.
It's taking me a long time just to get the anatomy on the face to make her a him.
Now I need to age him, and that's a whole nother process.
It's a lot of detail work with an old age makeup, and I'm doubting that I'll be able to get it done.
I really bit off more than I can chew.
I'm five hours in, and I feel like I might have screwed myself doing an old age gender change.
Johnny, do you think for like the sake of what we're doing here, I'm, like, wasting my time putting the nose on the snap mold? I would just make it all one thing.
Yeah.
I'm, like, starting to feel that I should be doing that.
I decide I'm just gonna sculpt the nose on the face because I'm losing time, and I don't want to have to make a second mold.
I have to get this done today.
I'm just hoping it'll still look realistic.
Oh, that looks awesome.
Oh, I love the mold.
Thank you.
I notice I'm one of the last to mold, but I know I can get it molded quickly so I'm really indulging myself.
I'm using texture stamps to add roughness to the skin, then I knock that down just so it all homogenizes together to create this realistic skin texture.
Pop.
I pop out my mold, and I probably have enough time to clean up by hand, but I'm just lazy.
I just love the power washer.
Ssshhhh.
It feels good.
It's like that scene from Scarface.
"Hey, play say, at my little friend.
" Ssshhhh.
It's bliss.
All right, guys.
It's time.
That's it.
Here we go, guys.
Beautiful, beautiful.
It's application day for our disguise Focus Challenge, and I check out my silicone pieces, and I have really good edges to work with which is very beneficial.
Good morning, I'm Johnny.
- Johnny, Nieli.
- Nice to meet you.
Elena, hello.
I'm going to turn you into an eastern Indian woman.
The first thing I do is I punch eyebrows into the silicone face, because obviously I don't want to do that while it's on the model.
That would be very painful.
Since they're counting on realism, I'm hoping this will push me over the edge.
I get out my hair and I start punching in the individual hairs to make a more realistic eyebrow.
I'm trying my best, but they're a little bit crooked.
The hair is super coarse, so it's sticking up all weird.
I've just got to stay focused and keep going.
Bald cap's going on.
Because I'm creating a receding hairline, I don't have any prosthetics covering the edges of the bald cap itself, so applying a really nicely blended bald cap is one of the most important parts of this makeup.
I'm looking at the clock and getting worried about taking too much time, but luckily I have a great silicone piece, so the rest of this should go pretty quickly.
All right, you're gonna look crazy for a few minutes.
Realism is something I feel like I excel at, especially with painting human skin tone.
I always start with a blood layer.
You as a human being are very vascular.
You have all your veins and your blood and that all shows through your skin.
Like, you have a white prosthetic on your face right now.
So if I just start painting that skin color it's always gonna look gray and dead because it doesn't have that life color under it.
I use three different PAX base colors to base it out.
Then I add blue veins and then a crap ton of spatter paint.
All right, I'm gonna start with the mustache.
I don't lay a lot of hair, and it is not easy.
So this scares me to death.
I start on the outer corner of the mouth using spirit gum, which is an adhesive, and because I'm disguising her as a young, Asian male, I choose this black, straight hair that looks a lot like the wig that she's wearing.
It's not what I consider to be exemplary hair laying job, but the clock's running down so I go with what I have.
But looking around the room, I'm just like, "I'm good!" That looks great.
As I'm painting I'm noticing it's looking really fake tan, like I've been sprayed down in a booth poorly.
I'm trying to lighten it up with a little bit of air brushing and highlighting, but the more I go, it's muddying the waters even more.
I'm gonna start spackling.
At this point there's not much I can do.
I'm sort of stuck.
It's very heartbreaking.
Shit.
I have a certain tape trick when it comes to laying hair.
I use tiny pieces of tape with wool crepe sticking to it.
I lay it on backwards because that's the way the hair grows.
I have to make it look like she actually could pass as a guy, and with my tape trick, I think I succeeded.
It's the new you.
I've never done a paint job like this before.
She's supposed to be an eastern Indian woman, and she's looking orange.
Nobody's orange.
I don't know how to fix this, so I'm kind of freaking out at this point.
Ugh.
Time.
I'm really nervous about Last Looks, because of my paint job, because of my edges.
Those are two things that have to be perfect, and they're not.
Ugh.
So there is a big chance I could be going home.
It's Last Looks, and we only have an hour left.
This is not easy, to hide edges right around the mouth I'm going to try, but I don't know if I can do it.
I'm gonna use a little bit of PAX mixed in with the base color just to, like, get these edges back in.
The edges aren't amazing, so I'm stippling with Pros-Aide, but I'm excited about what I have, and I feel okay.
The face is real shiny, so I'm trying to powder, and I can't figure out where the shininess is coming from, but I'm guessing it's the many paint layers.
Ten minutes left.
That's time.
- You okay? - Nope.
This is the worst makeup I've ever done so I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Welcome to the Face Off Reveal Stage.
As promised, we have a very special guest judge with us tonight.
She's a producing legend with an incredible resume including the show that inspired this week's challenge, Hunters.
Please give a warm welcome to the lovely Gale Anne Hurd.
I love Gale Anne Hurd.
She's done a lot of really cool stuff, so I'm excited for her to see my work.
It's so great to see you, Gale.
Thanks for having me back.
All right, are you ready to see some makeups? Absolutely.
Okay, let's get to it then.
My disguised agent looks better on stage than I thought it would and I'm pretty happy.
This makeup looks so incredibly fake and dumb.
At this point I'm hoping like hell that I'm safe.
Other than the eyebrows, my agent looks the most authentic, and I think I could possibly win this one.
My agent is perfectly boring.
Totally inconspicuous.
He's exactly the vision that I had in mind.
My agent gives a nice illusion of being a guy.
I think I have a good chance of nailing this one.
Agent Fuller is rocking this, totally owning this character.
I am ecstatic right now.
My disguised agent looks like an Asian person.
Mission accomplished.
That's a victory in my eyes.
I'm proud of the work I did.
There's some mistakes, but I think overall it's pretty cool.
I don't feel like I've nailed this challenge.
Like, I'm not expecting the W, but I would be very surprised if I went home.
She doesn't have correct skin tones, my edges are horrible, and I'm disappointed in myself.
I think my agent looks just like a little old man.
She's so little and as cute as a button.
Okay, judges, go ahead and take a closer look.
The bizarre texture all over the face is so heavy.
It's so toy-like.
There's no nasal fold.
I don't even know what that skin tone is supposed to be.
It looks like you've been out in the sun a long time.
Yeah.
I don't want the judges to see this.
It's not my best work.
It was an attempt to create a sweaty surface, but it just serves to make it look more plastic.
At this point I know I'm probably in the bottom.
All right, guys, it's time to get on Twitter and tell us who made your favorite disguised agent using #FaceOff It's just a single color.
It only serves to make it look more plastic.
I hate the skin tone.
It stands out like a sore thumb, and I don't want to go out like this.
She did the best eyebrow and mustache placement though.
I think that the stippling - here is pretty interesting.
- This is pretty good.
All these edges around here are pretty decent.
Walking through a crowd, this guy would go unnoticed.
The forehead seems to work with the hairline.
Can you take the glasses off? Oddly, it looks better without the glasses.
- It does.
- Thank you.
The edges are horrendous.
To go for an Asian look has created some issues with the design from the very beginning.
What is happening right here? It's so unfortunate because I do like some of the other stuff.
The neck is really good, I think.
It works.
Can you open your mouth, please? Okay, thank you.
Ugh.
The paint work is so synthetic.
Yeah, it's so dark.
There's no natural colors.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations so let's find out what they thought.
Njoroge, Robert, Kaleb, Rob, Melissa, Katie, the judges would like to hear from each of you before making their decisions.
So congratulations to the rest of you.
You are all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
Njoroge, please step forward.
Tell us about the concept for this spy character.
Agent Amsdell was disguised as a young Asian male in order to infiltrate a hacking ring over in Asia.
How do you think you did? I like the work I did.
That's a little bit alarming, because I can't agree with you this week.
You tried to create way too many pieces that give you extra edges straight down the middle of the cheek, which is impossible to blend that there.
The facial hair, it's so stiff, it feels like black straw that's just been placed.
And the illusion falls apart very, very quickly.
- Okay.
- Even from a distance, I see a girl who has put some hair here.
That is failing at the challenge.
Njoroge, would you please head back.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
Robert, please step up.
Tell us the inspiration behind your secret agent.
Well, this is Serge, he emigrated from Bulgaria, and he is a electronics maintenance man.
Really well done, Robert.
I like this makeup a lot.
I actually like her better without her glasses on.
You did a real decent job of laying all the hair.
This is a real successful character.
Thank you.
I thought either the nose was hers or the forehead was also an additional piece, because the two are so beautifully matched in texture and color.
Thank you.
I buy you as a guy.
Looking from here I think I'm looking at a very thin gentleman.
You wouldn't look twice.
Robert, please step back.
Good job.
Kaleb.
So tell us about your spy character.
Well, I wanted her to just be a person from India walking around the Taj Mahal, nobody you would expect to be a spy.
I feel I'm looking at a Caucasian person who's been painted brown, and that, of course, is a huge problem.
Yeah.
You added cheekbones that make her look malnourished.
It's conveying a confusing aesthetic.
If you would have focused on changing only the tip of her nose and the bridge of her nose, that would have been much more successful.
Don't try to sculpt a full head when you can get away with a facial appliance.
The forehead is so terribly dark, especially considering the rest of the face.
She would be very obvious, a standout.
Kaleb, would you please head back.
Thank you.
Rob, you're up.
Tell us about your secret agent, please.
Well, this is Agent Johnson.
He was stationed at a mountain campsite to observe suspicious activity.
I have to be honest, this character has zero interest for me, zero attraction, and that is what makes it so fantastic.
Thank you.
In a crowd, you'd have no interest in him.
You'd just drive on down the road.
You've achieved invisible in the most wonderful way.
Thank you.
From a distance, and even up close, you don't read makeup, so your agent would survive and successfully achieve his mission.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's such a well synthesized character.
I feel like if I was camping at this campsite, which you wouldn't catch me dead doing, but if I was, I don't think I'd notice this guy.
- That was the point - Thank you.
Rob, you can step down.
Thanks.
Melissa, please step forward.
Tell me about your concept.
Agent McDonough has been swapped out with the head of the FBI to find out where the corruption lies and search it out from the top down.
I went with the full face appliance to alter pretty much everything I could.
This to me is one of the most confusing makeup applications I've ever seen on the show.
Okay.
From the eyes down, the sculpt is very well handled, and the color is expertly applied.
And yet around the eyes and above, there are massive technical failures.
Her eyebrows are way up in the middle of her forehead.
I don't know why they're up so far.
I was trying to move them up to change the shape of her face.
Well, it changed the shape of her face, all right.
Yeah.
There's some nice sculptural form in the chin, and the cheeks, and jowls.
You've got skill.
It's obvious from here down, and it's not from here up.
- Melissa, please head back.
- Thank you.
Katie, please step forward.
Tell me about Agent Phillips.
Agent Phillips is a maintenance/construction worker.
My model had very sharp, angular features, and I really wanted to round those out.
- For me it's a huge miss.
- Okay.
I think it's a little too dark, and I realize that you were trying to create some sort of perspiration look, but his entire face got very, very shiny.
It's a rough one, man.
This no longer feels human.
The hair, it's possible that somebody could have that big a hair.
I'm sitting right here.
I know.
The biggest thing is that so little about this feels authentic and realistic.
Okay.
He seems like he's never been inside in his life.
The challenge was to have someone who fits in, and both the hair and the skin tone really call attention to this agent.
Fair enough.
Katie, please head back.
All right, guys, will you please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Okay, judges, your one-time special immunity is still available for you to use tonight if you would like.
So with that, why don't we talk about tonight's looks? Let's start with Robert.
The simple nose appliance and its beautiful coloration and texturing showcased a skill that we've not yet seen or Robert.
Definitely the cleanest makeup and best laid hair that we had up there.
All right, let's move on to Rob.
This is an incredibly successful disguise makeup.
Everything is addressed.
He had a lot of hair to hide.
I didn't even notice that it was a bald cap application.
It was well done.
I agree with you, Gale.
All right, let's talk about Njoroge.
This thing was a mess.
Yeah, but Njoroge doesn't see it.
That is horrifying to me.
The makeup feels like it's a racial stereotype instead of a genuine, realistic person.
I immediately said, "That is so not real.
" Okay, let's move on to Kaleb.
Speaking of racial stereotyping, this is another one that suffered a similar fate.
It ended up looking like a Caucasian person with a solid coat of house paint.
The edges were peeling up when she moved her face.
That thing folded in half.
All right, let's finish up with Katie.
Oh, my God, the tan guy that works underground.
I don't understand that at all.
The sculpture didn't look human.
The paint job clearly was not human.
The edge work was particularly rough.
It really fell down on a technical level.
All right, judges, have you made up your mind? - I think so.
- We have.
Excellent, let's bring them back out.
Glenn, tell us about the top looks.
Robert, you chose a great path this week by creating subtle pieces that changed the shape of your model's face, and your application was beautiful.
Rob, you made a lot of smart decisions in the design of your makeup, and your model's everyman appearance made him truly unrecognizable.
So who's 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 Rob.
- Good job.
- Thanks.
Your greatest success this week was your intelligent approach to the challenge.
So smart to alter your model's most prominent features.
- Great work.
- Thank you.
Out of the challenges so far, this was the one that I really wanted to win because I wanted to prove I could handle a difficult makeup, and I did it.
Rob, congratulations.
You, Robert and Melissa can all head - back to the makeup room.
- Thank you.
All right, guys, that means the rest of you are on the bottom this week.
One of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks.
Njoroge, while we appreciate your incredible ambition, you set yourself up for failure from the start by setting the bar way too high.
Kaleb, you also tried to do something that was just too difficult.
Your flat paint job ended up highlighting the flawed anatomical shapes in your sculpture.
Katie, the lack of breakup in your paintjob gave him a very synthetic look and the dark skin tone seemed like a mismatch for your character.
So who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Njoroge.
Unfortunately your makeup was tremendously flawed both creatively and technically.
Njoroge, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means, Katie and Kaleb, you're both safe this week and can head back to the makeup room.
Thanks.
Njoroge, it's obvious to us that you have a passion for makeup artistry.
We wish you all the best of luck and continued success, dear.
Thank you.
Njoroge, it's been so great having you here with us.
Would you please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you so much for having me.
- Thank you.
- Good luck, Njoroge.
- Thank you, Njoroge.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
- Take care.
I'm a little disappointed.
I wanted to go further, of course.
It's me.
But this experience has shown me that even at the age of 49, you can still chase a dream.
There we go.
So it doesn't end here.
I'm gonna pursue this and keep going, and keep doing makeup, and hopefully I can do this professionally, and just see what's next.
