"McKenzie:" "Welcome to "Face Off."" "This season starts off with a bang." "We're turning the competition on its head this season." " Oh." " No way!" "Look at this place." "McKenzie:" "It's a wild ride with dramatic highs..." " Oh, my God." " What?" "This is awesome." "We don't have any time." "McKenzie:" "And earth-shattering lows." "This is some crazy." "I'd be real nervous if I was you guys." "Just go.." " Get it!" " We'll get a piece." "Wait, wait." "If we go down, we go down fighting." "Be scared." "McKenzie:" "It's a side of the competition you've never seen before." "I'm coming for you." "Failure is not an option." "Oh, my God." "This is "Face Off:" "Divide and Conquer."" "This season's contestants are just arriving in the middle of the woods." "They'll each need to grab a lantern and follow the path... until they find me here waiting to tell them all about the upcoming season of "Face Off."" "It's dark, I'm walking through the woods, and this is the stuff I see in my nightmares after I watch a horror film." "My name's Faina, I'm 26 years old." "I was born in Belarus and I grew up in Brooklyn, New York." ""Face Off" has always been a dream of mine since I watched season one." "Color theory is my strength, so this is my moment to shine." "Welcome." "Thank you." "Please hang your lantern." "My name's Andrew and I'm from Glendora, California." "I founded a company called Immortal Masks and we're kind of known as the best silicone masks in the world." "Sacrificed a lot of time and put a lot of hours into what I do so it's game time and I'm gonna slay it." "I'm Nick and I'm on "Face Off"!" "I frickin' made it." "This is crazy." "I really started loving makeup effects when I was about eight years old and when I was 21, I got to work on the second season of "Teen Wolf."" "I wanted to be a part of this competition because my mom is losing her sight to lupus, and I want her to see what I can do." "I'm Laura, I'm a cake decorator, but my passion is makeup and I've been doing effects for four years on the side." "I first got into makeup right out of high school." "I worked at a mortuary doing makeup on corpses, so this is a great opportunity for me because I'd like to get back into full-time makeup." "My name is Al." "I'm 56 years old, and I've been doing special effects for about 30 years and worked on over 200 movies and television shows." "I'm probably older than 90% of people in the business and I don't have a shop of my own." "If I win, I'm looking forward to having a shop." "Watch out, guys." "I'm coming for you." "I'm Phil." "I'm 25 years old from Galloway Township, New Jersey, and this is what the real Jersey Shore looks like." "I attended the Tom Savini school and I've had to do jobs that I didn't necessarily like doing to pay off my student debts, but I always found time to do monsters and create art, and winning "Face Off" will give me the opportunity" "to do this full-time, so I'm looking to that." "Welcome to "Face Off."" "All right, I need to level with you guys right off the bat." "We're turning the competition on its head this season." "In the real world, Hollywood's special effects makeups are created by shops filled with talented individuals, so that's how you guys are going to work this season." "You'll be divided into two makeup effects shops that will compete head-to-head." "This is "Face Off:" "Divide and Conquer."" " Oh." " No way." "What?" " Nice." " No." "This is crazy." "I've never actually worked in a professional shop before." "I'm really excited but I'm also really nervous." "Notice that the lanterns are hung in two groups." "Please find the rest of your group and stand with them." " I'm Al." " I'm Phil." " I'm Faina." " Yeah?" "We got two tall people." "You know." "Yes." "All right, so the basics are kind of the same." "At the completion of each challenge, the judges will determine the winning and losing shop." "An overall challenge winner will be selected from the winning shop and someone will be eliminated from the losing shop." "However, each week, your shop will elect a foreman or forewoman who will act as a supervisor, delegating responsibilities, keeping the shop on track, and even answering to the judges for the shop's work, good or bad." "So, figure out who will be your foreperson this week." "All right, what's your guys' experience?" "I actually have a shop." "Great, well, why don't you want to start this out?" "If you guys are cool with it, I'm comfortable doing that." "I'll do it." "Yeah, why not?" "Okay, now I need to know who you've selected." "How about you guys?" "We chose Al." "All right, got it." "And you guys?" " We chose Andrew." " Andrew." "Got it." "So I bet you're wondering why I brought you out here at night in the middle of the woods." "Well, your first Spotlight Challenge is all about supernatural creatures that are only revealed under the full moon..." "Werewolves." "Ooh!" "All right." "I love werewolves, so I'm really excited about this." "All right, so in films and television shows like the "Underworld" franchise and "True Blood,"" "werewolves share the pack hierarchy of real wolves." "The alpha is typically largest and strongest, the beta is sort of second in command, and the omega is the lowest in the pecking order." "So, for your first Spotlight Challenge, each shop will create a werewolf pack with an alpha, beta, and omega." " Awesome!" " Ooh!" "Right on, guys." "Now, I don't want there to be any excuses about not feeling creatively inspired, so check it out." "Yes!" "Three wolves come out and they are so beautiful." "All three of them are so different." "The color already is giving me inspiration." "So these are real wolves, and each shop is going to chose one as inspiration for their pack." " No way!" " Oh." " Oh." " That's going to be good." "Andrew, your shop is up first." " Uh..." " Oh, wait, should we..." "What do you think of the dark one?" " That's the one." " His coloring's like, really interesting." "He looks really evil." "Uh, we've decided on the far left wolf." "All right." "Al, please select a wolf for your shop." "We would like the white one on the right side, please." "All right." "So you're going to spend some time here in the woods with your wolves to work on your designs." "When you get to the lab in the morning," "I want you to come up with a great name for your shop." "Good luck." "All:" "Thank you." "That's so awesome, man." "We picked the right one." "That's a beautiful wolf." " Yeah, for sure." " Yeah." "As the first shop foreman," "I see that being a lot of pressure, but I lead a team of 20 artists day in and day out, so I'm very confident that I will lead my team to victory." "I think we should come up with, like, a backstory or something." "Maybe like a lumberjack?" " Yeah, a big, burly kind of..." " Right." "We decide that our werewolf pack are from a lumberjack town, and that kind of sets the pace for all three characters." "How do you feel the alpha should look?" "It should be like when you think of a werewolf and you think, like, big, mean." "Right, healthy." "Yeah." "The main alpha wolf is the big, powerful lumberjack who is 100% wolf." "He's got hulking muscles and ears on top of his head." "We should have some diversity between the three of 'em, I think." "I'm Kierstin." "I'm 26 years old." "I am a freelance costumer and illustrator in Baltimore, Maryland." "I am fairly new at special effects, but for my very first makeup," "I created a huge alien prosthetic and wore it for Monsterpalooza, and got such an overwhelming response that I knew this is something that I definitely have a chance at doing." "We should definitely make a female beta, but she's not weak at all." "Yeah." "She's biding her time." "The beta is the alpha's mate essentially, and she is a barmaid in a small lumberjack town." "She has long claws and she's smarter in the pack." "She's actually gonna be a little bit less in her transformation, so she's going to be a strong, kind of more androgynous character." "The omega's almost like the opposite." "It's like, wherever he's big, the other guy's just angry." "He's definitely, like, the scrawny..." "I am Joseph and I am a freelance makeup artist in New York City." "I fell in love with special effects when my dad took me to see "Stargate."" "I was blown away by it." "Coming into "Face Off," I know that there's going to be people who will have a lot more experience than me, but I know that once I get my hands in clay, it's anyone's game." "I'm really drawn to the omega character." "I really like the omega character." "I think..." "I think we should do that together." "What I like about the omega design is that it's still very human but has elements of the werewolf in him, so to get to re-create that is very exciting for me." "What do you guys think about, like, some kind of soldier thing or something?" "Soldiers would hunt as a pack, so maybe they should be, like, mercenaries or something." "Exactly." "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, definitely." "I'm KC, I'm 30 years old, and I live in Los Angeles." "I started my own company, Nocturnal Designz." "We specialize in custom-made horns, prosthetics, and makeup effects." "I am working on our female." "She is the alpha." "She is sexy and also kind of has that hard edge to her." "I love wolves." "They're just so majestic, and I love their eyes." "They look like they're looking into your soul." "both:" "Oh." "Do they ever change alphas ever?" "They can." "When they get older, if the alpha gets a little weak." "If we did, like, the beta, maybe at one point he was the alpha but then the alpha now took over." "We want the beta to look powerful and strong." "He was once the alpha but he's been dethroned, so he has some scratches on his face and he's a little bit mangy because she kind of got the better of him." "He's going to be gnarly, but you know, he's not the alpha anymore, so." "Maybe have, like, the omega be, like, real, like, mangy, like, he always gets the scraps and everything." "That'd be kind of cool." "Uhhuh." "I suggest that we make the omega be largest of the wolves." "He really just works under everybody, so he's going to be a little bit more emaciated, but he's also a really big wolf too, so he can do some damage." "All right, guys, it's late." "Let's go home." "I'm the foreman, and since I'm the most experienced, it is definitely a lot of pressure." "I don't want to just fail myself but fail our shop, so I'm feeling nervous at this point." "Oh, my God." "Look at this place!" "We walk into the lab and I'm like a kid in a candy store." "This is insane." "There's body paints stacked up in so many colors." "There's lots of wigs to play with." "I'm so excited." "All right, everyone." "Let's go pick our models." " Yeah!" " Whoo!" "Let's do it." " All right, guys." " Let's do it, let's do it." "All right, name." " So what are you guys feeling?" " This is gonna be tough." "I mean, something representative of our personalities." "First order of business, we need to come up with a name for the shop." "I think we should go with Team You Guys Are Going Down Effects." "I like Sinister Six." " Sinister Six." " I'm twisted." "I'm not sinister." "I'm Jill from Cleveland, Ohio." "I've been working as a retail manager for over 20 years and I do special effects and makeup on the side." "If I win, I can finally quit my day job and do makeup full-time." " Twisted Six Effects?" " We go for that?" " Pulling it." "Unanimous." " All right." "I want to cover as many, like, genres as you can as a shop." "I don't know, ghostly or magical, like..." "Like, apparition or ethereal?" "Oh, yeah." " I like ethereal." " Ethereal Effects." "I like it." "I'm cool with that." " Nice and sweet." " Yeah, you love it?" " Yeah." " I think we got it." "How angry are you going?" "Uh, pretty angry." "I'm sculpting the alpha face." "Joseph is going to sculpt the omega face, and Suzanne is going to sculpt the beta face." "How far back are we bringing the lips?" "Uh, I would..." "I would keep it, yeah." " Here?" " Yeah, keep it right in the center of the eye." "My name is Suzanne." "I'm 38 years old and I'm from Stevens Point, Wisconsin." "I graduated from the Tom Savini special effects program, but there's not a lot of opportunities in Stevens Point, so I'm using my education and applying it to theater." "Rather than kind of carve it in, like, maybe, like, give it, like, some, like, three-dimensional form." "I like the idea that there should be one female character, so I start sculpting the face for the beta and I think it's coming along very well." "Beef up the traps, but, like, you know, we kind of have to, like, taper 'em down like, you know, around this area." "Mmhmm." "My name's Nelson, I'm 36 years old." "I'm a full-time tattoo artist, and I own a Halloween haunt in Ventura, California." "Some nights we'll create up to 20 characters from start to finish, which I feel like gives me a good advantage." "The first thing I start working on is a chest piece and cowl for the alpha werewolf." "The alpha is a lumberjack that turned into a werewolf." "We're changing the shape of his neck so his profile is hunched over a little bit with protruding ribs." "This is an aggressive transformation that might look like it hurts a little bit, so I'm really excited about this." "Liking it then?" "Yes, I love it." "I think it's looking good." "You're going to start sculpting the face on..." "Yes, I'm going to start sculpting the omega face, who's the big burly dude, which is the biggest one down there." "Okay, which is down there." "Our werewolf pack is a group of genetically engineered albinos that have been turned into werewolves in order to become super-soldiers." "KC's sculpting the alpha wolf face, and I'm sculpting a chest piece that has six breasts on it." "Our plan is to get at least the faces and hopefully the cowl molded today." "Nick and I are working on the omega, the biggest wolf of the bunch, but he's also the most timid and cowering." "I'm sculpting a chest piece." "I've never sculpted a chest piece before so I'm freaking out, but it's what my foreman asked me to do and so I'm going to do it for my shop to make sure that we can win." ""Face Off" is scary." "Hi, everybody." "All:" "Hi!" " Hey." " Welcome." "Mr. Westmore's a living legend." "Hi, Andrew." "He's won an Oscar, he's worked on some of the coolest movies that are now classic, and it's an honor to have his input on something that I'm creating." "Our wolves are from the..." "Like, a lumberjack town." "Our alpha wolf is a giant, healthy man." "His lady is the local bartender." "She's the beta, and then the omega is the town drunk that's not very healthy." " So this is your female wolf." " Yes, the beta." "You've got a good profile there, but to me, the mouth seems a little small." "I'd make your mouth a little bit bigger." "A touch bigger?" "Okay." "Yeah, 'cause this is very human." "Okay, let's see yours now." "Thank you." "I like what you have going here, but the nose could be a little bit more wolf." "With the werewolves, there's a little bit of a curl." "Yeah, they kick out right there, right." "Yeah, I would do that." "So this is the omega." "Basically it's more human than anything while still retaining wolf features." "I'm just concerned with the placement of the ears." "I would move them up higher." "Okay." "Which isn't going to be difficult for you to do." "No, absolutely not." " You have the lighter wolf." " Yes." "So tell me what you have going on." "I have the omega." "I'm trying to keep him as emaciated as possible." "I like your nose, but I would up your cheekbones a little bit before you start doing a lot more texture on it." " Yeah." " Try to create a..." "More of a muzzle?" "More of a... more of a muzzle on it, yeah." " Okay." "Thank you, sir." " Thank you." " Okay." " Okay." "I'm doing the chest piece for the omega." "You need a little bit more form to these." "It looks like a bunch of little sausages." "Okay, yeah." " Nice seeing you." " Nice meeting you." "I have the beta guy here." "It's looking like a person." "It's got a very human mouth." "I would like to see more of a muzzle to it, and broaden the nose out." "It has to look like a werewolf." "Yeah." " Yeah." " What do you think?" "I think you're right." "I'm a little bit worried about our shop." "We have to work on all three of these sculptures a little bit more, so now we're not going to get these things molded today." "This is not good." " That's awesome." " Yeah, yeah." "I'm working on the beta cowl, and she has to be able to hold her position as beta but also fight off anybody that wants to try and take over." "We want her to be strong, so I'm building up her musculature around her shoulders and neck, trying to not take away femininity, so I'm feeling extremely excited for how it's going to turn out." "Everybody, we got 20 minutes." "All right, guys, that's time." "Time is up and I'm a little worried." "I'm still having trouble trying to balance the human and wolf anatomy." "It's frustrating, but it's my first impression for the judges, so I'm hoping I can come at it again tomorrow with fresh eyes." "Whoo!" "Hey, it didn't fall apart." "It's day two, and I'm feeling really jazzed." "Everything looks a world better." "Phil's sculpture for the beta wolf needs just a little bit more refining, so while that gets finished, Laura is sculpting the cowl for the omega werewolf, and then we can grab the rest of the sculptures" "and get them into molds." "Very nice." "I'm going to try to bust out that chest in a minute." "So the strategy for today is the cowls and the face has got to be molded, and also we have to finish all of the torso pieces which are a very important part of the makeup, so I start blocking out" "a large chest piece for the omega while Suzanne starts sculpting the spine, because we want that skeletal aspect to show through, especially in silhouette." "So I'm feeling really good at this point." "I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." "Right on." "Today I spent a lot of time sculpting, but I'm a lot more comfortable with where my beta wolf face sculpt is now." "I think it's looking a lot more wolf-like and that's a sigh of relief because I want to impress the judges and they need to see that I can sculpt." " Watch your fingers." " Okay." "The alpha male body suit is ready to open and it's a struggle to open it." "It has me a little worried." "Cool." "So we get the back open, and it's seemingly okay, and now it's time to get the front open." "All right, let's do this." " Ready?" " All right, ready." " One, two, three." " Don't smack me in the face with it." "Yeah.." " What?" "Wait, wait, wait." " Are you okay?" " The face is not moving." " The whole..." "The face is not moving." "That's when we noticed that the other half is starting to crack, like, pretty substantially." "Okay." "We can work with that." " Okay." " Yeah." "We get it open, but I'm really worried." "This is a really important part of the character, so we have to figure out how to start fixing it." "30 minutes, everyone." "Guys, it's time!" "We really did our best to give everything together so we could get at least one foam run out of this thing." "I'm just hoping that everything works out and we can have the best possible piece, but I don't know." "The is gorgeous." "These edges are sick!" "The first thing I got to do is to see how that body suit came out." "Yeah, that looks great, dude." "It's not as bad as we thought." "There's nothing we can't fix with patch or hide with hair, so we're ready to rock." "I'm really happy considering how shattered it was." "Yeah." "Phil, nice to meet you, man." "Hey, what's up, man?" "Good to see you, bro." "Hi, nice to meet you." "So Faina and Joseph jump on the omega, and it's Kierstin and Suzanne on the beta." "We're all on the same page and feeling good about everything and it looks like it's gonna be a pretty smooth day." "I love this job when stuff works out." "I know." "There's a lot to do." "I go to work with KC on the alpha wolf." "Meanwhile, Jill and Phil are working on the beta wolf and Nick and Laura are working on the omega wolf." "As foreman, I've got to try to make sure that we get this challenge won." "Hey, what do you think?" "He's a big dude." "One thing we didn't take into consideration is that Terrence's chest is so massive." "There's a large gap between the cowl and the top of the chest piece." "That's not what we wanted." "We didn't anticipate his chest being so big." "So I go and make sure those edges are laid down as tightly as possible." "At least cover up as much of the edge as I can with the bottom of my neck piece." "It's not coming together as seamlessly as I was hoping." "So Joseph and I start basing out our omega werewolf so we have a nice, even coating of color, and then I start to texturize." "I have Joseph start to add more mottling texture on the back area while I'm doing the front." "I'm feeling really confident and really excited about this." "You look awesome." "I'm working on the beta, and I've got the appliances on her, but I realize we have all this skin to cover, so I decide to start coating it with the aqua color as fast as I can," "and then Kierstin works with the air brush getting the shadows put in and the mid-tones." "I can't wait to see these characters come to life." " We need to get this done fast." " Okay." "Take a look from the front and see what you think." "Al and I are working on the alpha and I'm starting to get very anxious because we have no paint on our makeup." "We need we get the mouth done, we need to get the chest on." "Plus there's still a huge chest piece to give down." "We need to hurry up, so I grab a paint gun and start blasting." "I add a lot of colors to break up the surface with a spatter technique, but we need to work as fast as we can." "15 minutes!" "That's time, everybody!" "Time is called, and then I look at the other shop." "All their stuff is done and painted and everything looks great, and I see our shop, like, oh, my God, we still have so much to do, so I'm nervous that we're not going to be able" "to get everything done." " Where's the face?" " Right here." "We have one hour to complete our makeups, and I've still got to give the entire face on the alpha." "We've got all the hair to lay on the three wolves." "Anything that's weird, hide it with hair." "Laying hair is a very time-consuming process, so it's going to be a tall order for one hour." "Whew." "I'm touching up makeup, finishing some of the detail work, and then I begin applying the nails." "I'm really focusing on the beta's nails because her nails are her weapons, so they've got to be fierce." "All right." "You look so cool." "On top of fingernails and fitting teeth, we still have to lay hair on these bad boys, so we still have a lot of work to do, but anything can be saved at the last minute." " Contacts first?" " They're in him." " Oh." "Oh." " He's ready to go." "Jill and I are painting our beta wolf character, but time is running out and there's a lot of details I have left to do so I go in with some spatters of browns and reds and blues," "doing some mottling and vein work just to bring in some textures and interest to our character." "15 minutes left." "Everybody, time!" "Whoo, yeah!" "Time's up and my werewolf is not looking the way I want it to look, 'cause I see the other wolves, and they're looking a lot better." "You're okay." "I am very scared for us." "Welcome to the "Face Off" reveal stage." "Please give a warm welcome to our amazingly talented series judges, owner of Alchemy Studios, Mr. Glenn Hetrick." "Good evening." "All:" "Hello." "Oscar and Emmy-award winning makeup artist Ms. Ve Neill." "Hello, lovelies." " All:" "Hi." " How you doing?" "And of course, creature and concept designer" "Mr. Neville Page." "Hello, everyone." " All:" "Hello." " Hi." "Well, guys, let's get to it." "For your first Spotlight Challenge, we asked each shop to select a real wolf and use it to inspire a werewolf pack composed of an alpha, a beta, and an omega." "So let's take a look at your creations." "Ethereal Effects, you're up first." "I feel like we have really strong cohesion." "They all read very wolf-like." "I'm just really excited to hear what the judges have to say." "I'm caught between excitement and terror, but I'm confident in being judged." "I think that I've done well." "The scar over the eye, the hair work, and the paint look really awesome." "I couldn't be happier." "Maybe this is gonna work." "They got enough hair to pass as werewolves." "Maybe not the healthiest bunch, but it's just a matter of what do the judges think?" "You could definitely tell that we were inspired by the white wolf." "The beta looks awesome, man." "This paint job really shines." "They are definitely not from the same pack." "He does not look the way I wanted, and I am so scared that I'm going to be the first one to go home." "Judges, why don't you take a closer look at our shops' makeups?" "The mouth is really nice." "The forms of the face, I don't mind." "It almost feels like this is a rat or a rodent muzzle." "And they also just put a little dark around her eyes as well, which is kind of unfortunate." "This weird, tarry pattern they've got going, I love it." "I wish there was a little more brought up again, but I'm really digging these textures." "And they did a really great job laying this hair on, too." "So many shapes happening here." "They're a little too hard-edged and man-made versus organic." "My heart is pounding." "I'm not sure our design is as cohesive as Ethereal Effects." "The lack of detail in both the sculpture and the paint is very problematic." "Now I'm worried." "All right, guys, it's time to get on Twitter and tell us which shop made your favorite werewolves using #faceoff." "The lack of detail in both the sculpture and the paint is very problematic." "I'm worried." "Someone's going home tonight, and I'm not sure our design is as cohesive as Ethereal Effects." "Love the eyes." "I like the palette." "I think the colors are very nice." "It seems like it's capable of portraying more emotions than just angry furrowed brow guy." "Yeah." "The head is just so bizarrely shaped and out of proportion." "The cheek, the chest showcase very little understanding of anatomy." "Thank you." "So we're going to star with Ethereal Effects." "Andrew, why don't you tell them about your shop's overall concept?" "Our main alpha wolf is the lumberjack, chopping away trees all day, and at night turns into this raging beast." "His girlfriend is our beta." "She's the bar maiden at the local tavern." "Her job is to keep the omega drunk all the time." "It sets her up for a better position if she ever wanted to switch up the hierarchy of the wolves." "All right." "Joseph and Faina, you two are up first." "Tell us how you guys decided to split up the work." "Faina sculpted the ears, I sculpted the face." "Andrew sculpted the chest piece and Faina did a lot of the paint job." "I did the nails as well as a lot of the additional hair pieces." "I think it's fantastic." "You found a visual way to storytell, and ultimately, that's what prosthetic makeup effects are." "I see every bit of your story in your makeup." "To crank something out like this in your first challenge is truly impressive." " Thank you very much." " Thank you so much." "The paint job on the body is so beautiful." "I would have just liked to have seen a little bit more color and more stippling in the face because the distance read is white rings around the eyes, white on the clavicle, and then everything else is charcoal gray." "Sure." "Joseph and Faina, please step back." "Suzanne and Kierstin, please step forward." "Please tell us who did what." "Suzanne took care of the face." "I handled the cowl and ears." "Suzanne did the base paint." "I laid the hair." "I did the mottling on the arms and I think that about covers it." "I feel this is just not quite there." "Her head is a little big for her body." "I love the mottling on the arm, but it it doesn't seem to be apparent anywhere on the neck and the face, so I think some of your problems just come from not standing back to make sure it all is harmonious." "I think there's some really beautiful things and there's some really unfortunate things." "Her snout becomes mask-like and it's something other than what your great story is about." "I agree." "Suzanne and Kierstin, can you please step back?" "Okay, Twisted Six Effects, it's your turn." "Al, if you please tell the judges about your overall concept." "Our werewolves were forced into a genetic experiment in order to create superior soldiers." "Our alpha was turned into the beta by our current alpha, a cunning female, and our omega wolf gets the scraps after those two get done taking care of business." " Thank you, Al." " Welcome." "Nick and Laura, if you please step forward." "So who sculpted what on this character?" "I sculpted the face." "Laura made the chest and the cowl for it, and then I helped with all the molds and basically anything anybody needed, I was there." "I don't understand what it is, and that concerns me." "It almost feels as if you're not really sure what muscle's what, where it goes." "I had actually never sculpted a chest piece before." "I know that I failed." "I know that it's not anatomical." "You could have covered most of that chest with hair." "We didn't have to know that it didn't go the way that you wanted." "Not everything's gonna go right in the time that you have." " Right, right, right, right." " But then in the end, you got to tweak it and try to make it work for you." " Right." " That's true." " Thank you." " Thank you." "My first question is to Al." "When you saw that she was in trouble, why didn't you help her?" "I was pretty much all over the place trying to take care of molds and do a lot of other things." "You, as the shop foreman, you should have made some suggestions to save this makeup for her." "Nick and Laura, please step down." "Jill and Phil, please step to the center." "Guys, tell me about this character and how you worked together to create it." "Phil did the face and I did the cowl, and together we painted him and applied the ears." "I like it, I'll tell you that much." "It's so easy with a werewolf to bake in that expression, but the restraint that you exercised here allows it to have a range of emotive capabilities, and that is why it works as a character for me." "Thank you." "There's many nice, nuanced things that's going on with this character." "The sculptural precision in getting it to feel like a wolf, it's just handled so well." "Both:" "Thank you." "Jill and Phil, you can head back." "All right, guys, please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate." "All right, so let's talk about our shops and their work." "Why don't we start with Ethereal Effects?" "How did you feel about their shop's overall presentation?" "It was quite good." "Very cohesive and in general they all felt like wolf-inspired characters." "I think one of the pitfalls for them this week was their female character." "This would have been a great choice to do a really minimalistic, beautiful makeup and do a pretty werewolf." "What did you think about Joseph and Fainia's work?" "The silhouette was very, very successful and it told its story so well." "The face itself was almost elegant and attractive and regal." "He had some beautiful mottling on his arms and I just wish they would have taken it up onto the face a little bit more." "What did you think about Kiersten and Suzanne's work?" "The sculpture was heavy-handed in terms of the forms." "They were accentuating all the lines and the crevices in the face, and it made it like a black and white makeup." "It didn't feel of the same quality as the other two makeups." "All right, so let's talk about the other shop's work." "How did you feel Twisted Six Effects did tonight?" "I think their color choice just gave their characters a very doughy look." "There should have been all kinds of really fabulous colors speckled in there." "But I do see some promise in the facial forms." "Yeah." "All right, let's talk about Nick and Laura." "They were so lost." "Particularly Laura felt aimless and they didn't understand anatomy." "Well, she herself said she was out of her element." "She'd never done a chest before." "How did Al decide that that was going to be okay?" "How do you feel about Phil and Jill?" "Phil and Jill were the most accomplished in their character, and Phil showed a great aptitude for sculpting with the face." "Putting a dog face on a human is somewhat of a baked-in expression to begin with." "They found this beautiful neutral place where he had an emotive range." "All right, then, judges, have you made your decisions?" " Yes, we have." " Yes." "Great, let's bring 'em back out." "Welcome back, guys." "All right, Glenn, which shop won this week's challenge?" "The winning shop tonight is..." ""McKenzie:" "The winner of "Face Off:" "Divide and Conquer" will receive a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations, an all-new Fiat 500, and $100,000." "All right, Glenn, which shop won this week's challenge?" "The winning shop tonight is..." "Ethereal Effects." "We thought that your characters were more unified across the board than the other shop." "We like the alpha, and the omega werewolf was our overall favorite this evening." "Thank you." "Congratulations." "Excellent work." "Now it's time to find out who our individual winner is tonight." "Glenn, who came out on top?" "Tonight's individual winner is..." "Joseph." " Thank you." "Thank you." " Yeah." "We recognized what a team effort this makeup was, but we really like the shapes in the face, and we felt that your hair work created a phenomenal profile." "Thank you." "I won!" "To start out with a win is validating and totally driving me for the rest of this competition." "Joseph, congratulations." "You and the rest of your shop are all safe and can head back to the makeup room." " Thank you, guys." " Bye." "All right, Twisted Six Effects." "That means you guys are on the bottom and one of you will be going home tonight." "Jill, Phil, and KC, you three are safe this week and can head back to the makeup room." " Thank you." " Thank you so much." "Bye." "If the rest of you would please step forward." "All right, Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks." "Nick, we always love people bringing new ideas to the table, but the decision to use the largest model for the omega worked against you this week." "Laura, it seemed like you got carried away trying to do way too much and that showed in the poor anatomy of the chest piece." "Al, while we really liked your shop's beta, the other two characters fell down hard, particularly the omega, and that has us questioning your ability to lead your shop." "So Glenn, who is going home tonight?" "The person going home tonight is..." "Laura." "Thought there was certainly a lot of things wrong with this character, one of the biggest missteps was that chest piece." "Sorry to see you go so soon." "I appreciate it very much." "Thank you guys so much." "Laura, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated." "That means Nick and Al, you are both safe this week and can head back to the makeup room." "You're awesome.." "All right." "Thanks, guys." "Laura, it's been great having you here with us, but if you please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit." "Thank you guys so much." "I really appreciate this opportunity." " Good night." "Good luck." " Thank you, Laura." " Thank you, honey." "Good luck." " Thank you." "It was a real pleasure." "I swung for the fences and missed, but I'm so happy that I was even able to be a part of this." "It's me." "I'm going home." "I'm leaving here so much more confident than I was before in everything that I'm doing." " Laura." " We'll miss you, Laura." "I had fun, and I'm really excited that I had this opportunity." "McKenzie:" "Next time on "Face Off"..." "I'm feeling like the team is definitely starting to split." "I'm frustrated with my teammates." "We haven't thought about that yet." " Okay." " I'm in big trouble." "Very, very well done, guys." "It don't get no better than that."
