"I love this makeup." "It's-- it's a stunning makeup." "You did a great job." "It is so good." "This is camera-ready." "Tonight, the all-time best makeups ever featured on Face Off." "Throughout five amazing seasons, 60 talented artists have created nearly 700 works of living art." "From cyborgs to extraterrestrials... and underwater creatures to things that go bump in the night, our judges have seen it all" "Ve Neill, Glenn Hetrick, and Neville Page." "I'm really blown away." "Now, they'll count down their personal favorites, and you don't want to miss number one." "There will be lots of awesome, bitchin', and groovy." "And creations that almost defy description." "This one is focused, myopic, truly deranged." "What?" "Oh, man." "We'll hear from our judges like never before..." "Is that you laughing?" " It is." " Wow!" "And see exclusive new content fromFace Off." "Find out which of your favorite makeups made the judge's list right now on the Face Off Top 20 Countdown, Judges' Favorites." "We kick off the countdown with an eye-popping makeup from Face Off's season five champion, Laura." "Number 20 on our list shows off her artist within." "The challenge was to bring Classic art to life, and Laura had chosen Cubism." "I loved it, Laura's Cubism piece." "She really dialed it in perfectly." "The colors were amazing." "The fact that she fabricated on top of the suit, and the construction on the back of the head, it was just so well done." "Laura's Cubism makeup is a perfect synthesis of sculpture and fabrication." "I feel like Cubism was created because people wanted to transcend 2-D art." "Cubism is three-dimensional squares." "You can't think of this as a makeup." "You have to think of this as a work of art." "One of the things that you see Laura demonstrating here is her uncanny ability to do hard color transition." " Amazing paint job." " It really is." "There's so many colors on the thing, and at no point do they slam against one another in an obtuse way." "They just flow." "It was so asymmetrical and so well developed." "Just the whole Cubism idea was just so well put together." "The face that she designed and sculpted really looked like it was trapped within a moment of Cubism." "This is an immaculate makeup." "Stunning job." "Everything they said, times ten." "You perfectly met this challenge and integrated your movement." "It truly is living art." "My Ve rating, two bitchin's." "From avant-garde art to strange new worlds, next is one of the best silicone creations ever seen on Face Off." "Check out this elegant extraterrestrial that earned the number 19 spot." "All right, guys." "This is your chance to do something literally out of this world." "You will work in teams of two and create an alien species that might actually exist on what appears to be the first planet, besides Earth, capable of sustaining life." "Conor and Jo's alien automatically feels like it belongs to a world." "It, to me, was very reminiscent of some of the Star Trek, Next Generation makeups that Mr. Westmore did." "This was our third episode in our first season." "The thing that made it so unique was the fact that they used silicone, which very few makeup artists in a starting-out period of their career would attempt." "I would have guessed that they bit off more than they can chew taking this approach." "It doesn't seem like they should have been able to do it as quickly as they did, but they did." "They really did far beyond what we ever had expected." "This was an incredible makeup." "You did a beautiful job." "Congratulations." " Thank you." " It's got a great profile." "It's got a great level of detail in terms of texturing, and then one of the most important things that so many people forget to do is graphic design that nature does with stripes, patterns, dots, what have you," "and this makeup encapsulates all of that." "And this was only the third episode for this makeup?" "Damn." "Next, a makeup that added royal flare to the world of Resident Evil." "Number 18 on our countdown comes from a competitor who was a fan-favorite in season three and again in season five." "Roy's red queen zombie is a multi-layered beauty." "This was important for us to see Roy do because of his ability to fabricate, be stellar, that" "We needed to see a makeup from him." "He finally delivered." "This is the queen, and she's been infected with a virus and so she's starting to mutate." "It was a really great concept that her flesh turned into this crown." "And Roy, the fabrication king, where did this come from, from him?" "I was totally blown away." "The character really feels like it stepped out of a Resident Evil or Silent Hill, cutting-edge video game." "Paul WS Anderson was so impressed with this makeup." "If I was making a movie," "I'd be delighted to see a design like this, but also I'd be expecting a team of, like, six or seven people to execute it." "I think Paul was accurate, saying that it would take six people, because Roy, everything he does is the power of some multiple, so unique in his ability to pull off the "un-pull-off-able."" "Roy, we loved your hyper-stylized queen, and we thought that you accomplished an absolutely amazing amount of work in the time that you had." "The winner is..." "Roy." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "This is the best moment I've had on the show." "My Ve rating for Roy's queen is" "I'd have to give it, like, at least three bitchin's." "Since our premier, Face Offartists have created 280 incredible foundation challenge makeups." "One memorable creation from season three earned an artist her ticket back into the competition." "That spectacular look is the judges' pick for the very best foundation challenge makeup." "The best foundation challenge goes to Nicole for her Day Of The Dead makeup." " They're back!" "They're back!" " Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "The winner of today's foundation challenge will rejoin the cast and earn another chance at winning our grand prize." "It's the first glimmer of hope that we see out of her." "She goes into that challenge and really decides that she's going to do better than she was previously." "I'm thinking mariachi guy." "The first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna draw out the shapes that I want, and then go into the color." "This is obviously the best foundation challenge." "It was colorful." "They were at Olvera Street." " It was really, really fun." " It was precise." "It was beautiful." "It encapsulated all the things that we recognize as the Day Of The Dead makeup." " This is really cool." " Thank you." "So, who is the winner of today's foundation challenge?" "Nicole." "Oh, my God!" "I'm back!" "You first see Nicole working at what her true level is in that foundation challenge." "We just saw the best foundation challenge makeup, courtesy of our season three champion, Nicole." "Now, let's check out one of her signature makeups that became an instant audience favorite." "It's number 17 on our top 20." "Welcome to the junk yard." "This week's challenge is to create an original cyborg character." " Oh, all right." " Oh, my gosh!" "Yay!" "That's cool, yeah." "Nicole's cyborg is a truly unique piece of art, but at the same time, it really had a lot of composite elements from beloved science fiction sources." "Also, Nicole managed to integrate the piece from the junkyard seamlessly." "It didn't feel obtuse or glued on." "She used it to inspire her, so when the whole thing was done it didn't really feel like that was an element that was forced upon her, or that it was requisite to use it." "It felt very natural within the build." "I want her to be basically this, like, cyborg princess from another planet." "Elegant and tough." "I have a mechanism on her eye which has a-- all different types of plugs, but, like, she can hook herself up and, like, through her eye, like, have different types of," "like, way of seeing." "I thought that was one of the coolest things" "I'd seen on the show." "Gale Anne Hurd and I both loved it." "It was elegant, and it read cyborg to me." "It was real delicate and real female-looking." "It didn't shout at you." "Everything looked really beautiful." "I wanted to write a story around it." "I mean, that's how inspiring I think it was." " Awesome." " Wow." "The junkyard cyborg for Nicole was a turning point, and she proved it on this particular makeup, and those who saw this makeup fell in love with it." "It's a fan-favorite, obviously." "Up next, it was a makeup from season two that looked like it was headed for disaster, but wound up winning the challenge." "It earns the number 16 spot on our judges' countdown." "So, this week, your spotlight challenge was to use one of Patrick's concept sketches as the basis for an original alien." "Ian's bat alien was certainly one of the best things he did on the show." "Bringing Patrick's drawings to life is really difficult." "I'm nervous as heck." "It's gonna be a hell of a challenge to do this." "Well, I know that Ian was having some hesitation about this makeup, but he was smart enough to turn around his things that went wrong and really make it a positive attribute to the character." "This piece did not come out at all." "Immediately I can see both ears are missing." "They didn't fill." "It's got a huge tear in the shoulder to the neck." "It's fucked up." "I'm doin' everything I can to hold this thing together." "I take the ears that are torn off and I glue one back on, and the other one is just not salvageable, so it's got to be a wound or something." "So many points of that makeup I was gonna give up." "I think this is a stellar makeup." "Awesome, bitchin', and groovy." "The hands were as beautiful as the face." "The character felt lived-in." "It felt like it had a story." "I wasn't a judge on this particular season, but I was a fan." "I sat back impressed with the amount of work that he did on it." "Ian's bat alien chick was so cool." "Got to give him a ten on the creepy scale for sure." "As the countdown continues, let us know if you agree with our judges' choices on Twitter using #FaceOff." "Coming up, we'll find out which Star Wars makeup landed a spot in our top 20, and we'll see what Tim Burton-inspired look still makes Ve laugh today." "These and many more incredible Face Off makeups as we count down to number one on" "Face Off's Top 20 Countdown, Judges' Favorites." "Welcome back." "We're counting down our judges' top 20 favorite Face Off makeups." "For our expert panel to pick the very best creations, they chose from over 120 zombies and ghosts," "31 demons, 28 hybrid creatures, and 43 aliens." "Number 15 on our countdown is an out-of-this world alien makeup inspired by our season three's epic premier challenge." "Your first spotlight challenge is based on the most influential film franchise in history, Star Wars." " Oh, yeah!" " Oh, my God." "All right." "You're going to need to create an alien that would fit in a modern version of that classic cantina scene." "Wow." "Roy and Rod'sStar Warsalien was probably the biggest fabrication we had seen." "I start right in on sculpting the face and the little fat body that's gonna be in the exoskeleton." "You've got Roy, who is, like, the king of fabrication, who can build that whole critter around that little baby thing, and then Rod with that kind of sculpting sense that he had." "It was like a perfect combination." "Those two worked so well together." "Roy is describing his exoskeleton." "I'm describing my little guy, and they fit perfectly together." "This was really fun." "These two guys decided to be a little bit lighthearted about the whole thing, and that's wise." "When you look back at those films and you look at some of the characters, they're not all super serious." "Just the idea, the approach of putting a small man inside of a big robot body is genius." "There were so many moving parts, and the fact that they pulled this off in the time that they did and still did a good makeup, which was the face, of course, it was really impressive." "Winning the spotlight challenge feels great to have my work acknowledged in that way." "Your character will be featured on the official Star Wars website in its original design, and re-created in the style of The Clone Wars." "To have won and now have their designs that were originally a Face Off creation on the Star Wars site?" "That's pretty special." "Our next makeup unleashed some ancient magic in season three of Face Off, and now this inspired Chinese dragon brings good fortune to our judges' countdown at number 14." "Tommy and Derek's monkey-ox creation just hit the nail on the head." "Your spotlight challenge is to create a completely original take on the traditional Chinese new year dragon." "Awesome." "For our concept, it's the face of a dragon with a bull ring out of a baboon nose." "Derek starts painting the face piece, and I'm gonna focus on painting the cowl." "It's a huge risk to have two different paint jobs." "You're just really counting on each other to pull it together." "When it came out onto the stage, the whole stage just lit up." "That gold train, great color choices." "I love that whisker detail." " Yeah." " Especially in profile." "It's just badass." "When these guys did the dragon dance, they were doing summersaults and jumping over one another and landing on each other." "This makeup held up extraordinarily well." "Awesome!" "I'm pretty thrilled with this thing." "I also feel that it has a Japanese aesthetic." "I'm a tattoo artist and a lot of the stuff I draw" " is Japanese style." " That's awesome!" "That seems to me like it's transcending what it is that we asked you to do." "Derek, being a tattoo artist, he's obviously studied dragons quite a bit." "He knew what triggers to pull." "It was spectacular." "I can't even put a bitchin' to it 'cause it was just too beautiful." "For this makeup?" "Terrifying, titillating tenacity." "From the mystical to the whimsical, coming in at number 13, it's one of Face Off's most iconic and humorous makeups." "Your spotlight challenge this week is to create a whimsical character inspired by an everyday profession worthy of being featured in a Tim Burton film." " RJ." " Bellhop." "RJ's bellhop is a perfect example of success through forethought." "I'm thinking the bellhop has become part of the luggage, so he has drawers in his chest like a trunk would have, and he can open his drawers and pull out clothing." "RJ, your makeup was a very complete vision and had some really great stylistic elements." "This guy gets the challenge." "He looks at it and he goes," ""Look, I know Burton, and I know how to do it." "I can do it with simple form language." "I can do it with simple colors, so I'm gonna do that, and it's gonna feel like a Burton character when you look at the face, but I'm not going to spend all of my time on it." "I'm gonna spend a lot of time fabricating this really intricate and extraordinary costume that's as much a part of the character as the makeup."" "It was so cute, so well done, so Burton-esque." "When we went up for closer inspection, oh, my God." "He just started pulling all these things out of this drawer." "At one point he took out a bra and put it over my head." "I thought I was gonna die." "It was so bloody funny." "Thank you." "He didn't need to strap that bra over her head." "RJ's bellhop is the embodiment of Tim Burton aesthetic, but where this really came together was in his overall character development." "The little details and in directing the performer to also convey a Burton-esque type of performance." "RJ's bellhop is the embodiment of Dark Whimsy." "The laughter continues on our countdown as we check out a comedic look that won over our expert panel." "Here it is, the judges' pick for the funniest makeup of all time." "Roy's laughing-dead character, hands down, wins for the funniest makeup." "It's a humorous concept, but none of it really got to me until it started dancing." "Glenn's even cracking' a smile." "Look it." "Is that you laughing?" " It is." " Wow!" "Roy's stacked ghost character, so funny." " Shows he has a sense of humor." " Oh, my God!" "Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!" "These are the Caine Brothers, and they were Vaudevillian performers." "They had a drinkin' problem, and one night they stepped into traffic and got hit by a street car, so this is how they have to live in the afterlife." "This is a quintessential Vaudevillian trick." "They would put two little kids on top of each other to create an adult, and you pulled it off with one person." "When we first saw it, all three of us, it was a complete laugh-out-loud moment." "Well, I chuckled." "I wouldn't say laughed out loud." " I think I screamed." " Glenn" "Glenn was crying like a little girl with laughter." "Coming up, we'll see how a season one body paint challenge inspired both a jaw-dropping work of art and one of the most bewildering makeups ever on Face Off." "All this and more dazzling creations when" "Face Off's Top 20 Countdown, Judges' Favorites returns." "We're back, counting down our judges' top 20 favorite makeups in the history of Face Off." "Whether it's distant planets, desert plains, or eerie wastelands, Face Off's 77 spotlight challenges have taken us to every kind of destination." "The number 12 spot is a makeup from a season two challenge that took the competition to one of the most difficult places a makeup artist can go-- underwater." "Tara and Matt's fish creature was really spectacular." "So beautiful." "I really love this." "Your spotlight challenge was to find a sea creature to use as inspiration for your unique makeups." "You were also asked to make them waterproof." "It's very nerve-wracking." "Is this gonna float?" "Is the paint gonna bleed into the water?" "I don't know what happened." "There's so many chunks missing from the edges." "I'm really stressing that we're not gonna be able to get these edges down." "How are we gonna hide these?" "My brilliant plan is to cover these massive edges with fabric." " Oh, wow." " Wow." " That looks so cool." " Wow." "Everybody gasped when she got in the water." "Oh, it looks really cool." "The colors are beautiful." "Massive range of iridescence head to toe." "The little filigree work that's in the sculpture, absolutely thrilled me." "Well done." "I'm glad we decided to go with the fabric and hide the edges because it looks like colorful scales." "Well, this was a really clever way to hide all their edges." "They're thinkin' on their feet and they're turning challenges around and making them attributes." "Tara and Matt's fish creature, aquatic, sensual beauty." "From under the sea to outer space, it's the second makeup in our top 20 from season three's Star Wars challenge." "Let's head back to Mos Eisley and meet this unforgettable cantina alien taking the number 11 spot." "This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original alien that would fit into a modern version of the classic Star Wars cantina scene." "Let's see what you've come up with." "Talk about coming out swinging." "Laura and Sarah's Star Wars cantina alien is the first episode, and it's perfectly executed." "She comes from the Dagobah System, which is very moist, but she lives on Tatooine." "That's why she's got the breathing apparatus." "And her costume helps retain that moisture." "It's a whole suit get-up." "This is the type of design that we're working towards in production all the time, with room to design it." "They pulled it off in two days." "One of the coolest things was when she walked out, she had her hood up, so we really couldn't see what she looked like." "Would you mind removing the cowl for us?" "And when she pulled that hood down, it was so regal and so gorgeous." "Really excellent job, ladies." "Laura and Sarah nailed it with this one." "I like the fact that you mentioned the Dagobah System." "She has a specific origin, so you've been doing your homework, which is great." "We're such geeks." "You know, it's so important that when you're going to do a head-to-toe makeup that it feels like it's connected, and the hands related perfectly to the head, both in its texturing and, of course, its coloration." "This makeup is one of the cleanest that we have seen in all five seasons on the show." "Up next, we travel to the World Of Oz." "Coming in at number ten is a winning collaboration from a pair of season two finalists, one of whom became that season's champion." "Rayce and Ian's Cowardly Lion, it's a very contemporary way to approach a very traditional character." "If you're a Cowardly Lion, you're probably starving." "You'll have a smaller frame." "You'll be a little nicked up." "The way me and Ian are breaking down our concept and design is we're both going to do the chest piece, and he's gonna do the hair while I do the overall paint job." "It was weird, and cool, and exceptionally done." " I do love the paws." " What makes it work, beyond all the obvious makeup work that they did, was the hair work." "Its silhouette was so strong, and that was a huge head of hair." "That's not easy to work with unless you're Fabio." "I really love the idea of it being gray." "So expect it to be this beige-y flesh tone." " Very well done." " Thank you very much." "They didn't allow their paint to get in the way of the sculpture, so the shading and counter-shading that they're using and the highlighting to make those ribs feel really nice and sunken in, it was all gorgeous." "It was such a unique character and such a bizarre take." "That makeup really has staying power." "Rayce and Ian's Cowardly Lion, courage personified." "It's time to peel off the clothes as we take a look at the best body painting ever featured on Face Off." "This season one makeup not only won the challenge, but it joins our top 20 at number nine." "Welcome to your next spotlight challenge." "Everybody?" "Drop 'em." "Oh, my God!" "It is birthday suits as far as the eye can see." "Okay." "Anthony killed this challenge." "I mean, the guy's never done a body painting before in his life, and then he rolls this thing out?" "We're just shocked." "To come on the show and discover an attribute that he may not have ever known that he had as an artist?" "I think that's so awesome." "The idea is that she's pickin' her bark apart." "Anthony's burnt wood makeup, holy smoke." "I don't even think he knew he could do that." " This was awesome." " Thank you." "I loved the way that he did that very clever thing where it looked like she was holding part of her stomach." "If you hadn't have had those open spaces," "I think it would have been very difficult to pick out where your person was." "It's like she ripped a piece of her body off and is screaming." "I just really love it." "To see that huge piece of art up there was just-- oh, it was breathtaking." "That was one of the most happiest moments of my life." "I'm ready to cry." "I" " It was" " Honestly?" "That right there was better than winning any Academy Award." "The detail and the precision in mimicking his paint with the environment was uncanny." "Anthony's burnt wood was both invisible and self-demonstrative." "For aFace Offcompetitor, the final presentation can make or break your chances." "Our season one body paint challenge not only gave us one of the judges' favorites, it also offered one of the most amusing moments in Face Off history." "This is the judges' pick for the longest makeup description in the history of Face Off." "The most complicated and convoluted description of a makeup goes to Sergio." "I looked at all the backgrounds and I saw this, uh, big tornado comin' up from a very desolate area..." "It kind of speaks about real life because we have a lot of events that happen that we-- We're not aware of here..." "When you're overrun and you have all this stuff, you know," "I mean, it's something that he's not gonna be able to escape, you know-- but there's droughts and stuff like that in other places of the world, and so I got an image real quick of..." "But he still has that, like, look of hope, and I wanted my image to really be able to tell people a story and have them ask questions..." "Almost like a fetal position, because..." "I gotta laugh." "Sergio gave us the longest description of a makeup job in the history of Face Off." "And that's kind of what I was going for." "Uh-huh." "Boy, that's a long story for a very short makeup." "And it was an orange body painting and white stripes." "Hello?" "Too long." "I thought about maybe darkening his skin even more." "Sergio's description of his naked ambition makeup, uh, I don't know." "Fell asleep, don't recall." "Face off'sseason two Tim Burton challenge inspired three looks among our judges' countdown, and two are still to come." "Which ones are they and where did they rank?" "It's coming up on" "Face Off Top 20 Countdown, Judges' Favorites." "Welcome back." "We're counting down our judges' top 20" "Face Off makeups of all time." "Let us know if you agree with our judges' choices on Twitter using #FaceOff." "Coming in at number eight is this tasty treat from the season two Tim Burton challenge." "Its clever design and evocative image had all the judges raving." "Matt's ice cream man from the Tim Burton challenge, oh, so creepy." "It was kind of like you take Burton's dark side, and you add nothing but dark chocolate and make it darker and darker, 'cause he went so south on this." "I love the ice cream man." "He's so colorful, so delicious looking, and he's just a feast for the eyes." "It has so much going on, there's so much story, that you're almost afraid to ask." "He's an ice cream inventor." "His lab exploded, fusing his anatomy and DNA with his own creation, so now he's this chocolaty, ice cream-sprinkled, waffle cone-headed clown." "Matt's attention to detail was pretty inspiring." "Sprinkles around its mouth, a little cherry on its nose." "Phew." "Spooky." "Oh, no, thanks." "I ate." "There's something so wrong about this twisted vision of the perennial classic that it's right." "This is more of what I've been looking for out of you." "The balance of what you did integrating the actual cones into the makeup is very wise." "If Tim Burton was gonna make a horror movie, this guy would be in it." "This thing still has life today." "People are always talking about it online." "This thing is really a psychotic" "I don't want to have ice cream again." "Now we've got the stunning makeup that earned its creator the title of Face Off champion." "From season one, this haunting creation comes in at number seven." "Your final challenge is to reinvent two characters from a classic fairy tale." "You will also be choosing a theme to go along with your fairy tale." "I knew a little bit about the Frog Prince fairy tale, and I knew that there was a lot of potential there." "Conor's Frog Prince, when you look at it, it really is feature-film quality." "The design captures a moment of metamorphosis so brilliantly." "It is the quintessence of the pain of transformation." "And, on top of everything else, he decides to go ahead and integrate a very rudimentary mechanical element to give it some life." "Blow into that tube." "Oh, my God." "That bladder that he stuck in there?" "It's genius in its simplicity, and it worked perfectly." "I took the foam run and I cut out all this and built latex and a tube right into the mold." "Hid the tube up underneath the lip." "Well done." "I didn't come here just for the hell of it." "I came here to win." "Conor is a really good technician." "He has a great design sense." "His applications are flawless." "Look at the top of the head." "That's a great paint job too." "Conor's Frog Prince, and the fact that this is a season one winner, it's incredible." "It's why he was the winner." "The eye of the frog is one of the best eyes that I've seen." "Conor, in this challenge, achieved a "ribbeting" amphibious delight." "From cursed frogs to enchanted swans, it's the crowning achievement from season five champion," "Laura, and it holds the number six spot on our all-time top 20." "Laura's season five finale makeup was the manifestation of beauty and power." "So incredible." "Laura's Renaissance swan and sorcerer is breathtaking." "Unbelievably gorgeous." "Renaissance, Baroque, whatever you want to call it." "Pearls, swirls." "Oh, my God." "She had everything in it." "I absolutely love how her bodice looks like it's morphing into something, and then the shoulder pieces, like, the start of wings." "You've got some great texturing happening." "There's a real beautiful, classic silhouette that she has." "To have a figure dancing with that aesthetic on their body was so beautiful." "When you're designing, you cannot do it alone, so Laura divides up the labor but guides it, so that when it's done it all looks like it was done by one person." "Clearly she's a good artist." "She has an incredible design sense." "She's a really seasoned technician." "She is a focused beam of talent." "It's clear that she's gonna do the same professionally and in her career." "She's phenomenal." "This is an awe-inspiring conglomerate of multiple different techniques and multiple different influences that are blended seamlessly together to create truly amazing characters." "Next up, Las Vegas was the backdrop for one Face Off competitor's crowning achievement." "The number five spot on our judges' countdown belongs to these amazing makeups created for the mind-blowing production, Le Reve." "Anthony's sinister performers from theLe Reveshow were probably the most definitive characters." "I don't know how they could have been beaten." "The thing with this challenge is to keep it very minimal and not have anything restrictive on their bodies." "I decided to keep it to a cowl, face, and a minor chest piece." "TheLe Revechallenge was, by far, the most physically difficult challenge to work a makeup on." "These guys were falling from 50, 60 feet above water, so creating anything that didn't fall off was extremely challenging to begin with, but to be able to design something that looks beautiful as a makeup, performs under extreme circumstances," "and happens to just fit in to a rich environment that he could not have access to prior to the challenge?" "Killer work." "So, we're basically doing a prosthetic face piece, and we're gonna be working into the cowl." "And then for our female character, it's gonna be the same species but a lot softer." "The characters look like they belong together." "I love the coloring on both of them." "The paint job was" " absolutely gorgeous." " Thank you." "Anthony'sLe Revecharacters were perfection." "This is, by far," " my absolute favorite profile." " Of course it is, because it's so naturally looking." "I can believe this thing" " exists somewhere." " Yes." "The execution of the makeup from a design standpoint, application, paint, costume, all of it, is the reason he won that particular challenge, and the entire season of Face Off." "Have your favorite competitors made the list?" "We're working our way to number one." "It's coming up, when Face Off Top 20 Countdown, Judges' Favorites returns." "Welcome back to the Top 20 Countdown, Judges' Favorites, where we reveal the best special effects makeup in the history of Face Off." "Our number four makeup comes from a season one challenge where the artists were shocked to learn their zombie creations would be put to the test in an expected dance routine, and one of those zombies has been haunting our judges ever since." "Conor's zombie." "Crap, was that bitchin'." "Particularly since so many zombies have been done, we know what they're supposed to look like." "This one is zombie perfection." "Wow." "First of all, it's a really cool opportunity to do something that every makeup artist wants to do, create this really awesome zombie in a dance video situation." "It was the quintessential zombie." "She was skinny." "She was dry." "She was everything a zombie should be." "The proportions are beautifully handled." "You want to create a sucked-in skeletal frame, but to build that framework over and then put skin over that that looks sunken in, it can easily get away from you." "This does not." "He works those notes to perfection." "I want to do, like, kind of a classic '80s style zombie who's now just a dried out husk." "Conor's another one of our artists who has a great design sense." "A really great applicator." "This is his third in our top 20." "You name it, he can do it." "You got every detail absolutely perfect, right down to her arms, her fingernails." "You even aged her hair to the right color." " It's a stunning makeup." " Thank you." "It never becomes silly." "It never parodies itself." "It somehow manages to pull off a dancing zombie and still be super cool." "Conor's zombie is roadkill beauty." "Everybody loves a zombie." "From zombie dancers to cursed musicians." "Earning the number three spot on our top 20, here is the winning look from Face Off's Tim Burton challenge." "This week, your spotlight challenge was to take an ordinary profession and create a character worthy of being featured in a Tim Burton film." "With Rayce's cellist, you see him really working at his highest capacity." "He writes these stories inside of his head while he's sculpting." "It's a unique thing." "I wanted to see if I could bring in another character, almost like the cello was morphed into a human and it's her love." "The idea that her playing it was keeping alive the spirit within the cello, and the melancholy on her face, which is so appropriate for that type of instrument." "This is an unparalleled design executed without fear." "Actually, I went through a few different designs." "It's just a face prosthetic." "Sometimes less is more." "I mean, you know, you don't necessarily have to cover their, you know, face with prosthetics to get a Tim Burton character." "That design was really unique, and I imagine it could be in a Burton film." "Oh, beautifully executed." "Your airbrush work is really great." "You had airbrushed her clothing as well, which was a good idea, because it homogenized the whole look." "It's just beautiful." "Thank you so much." "Rayce's cellist really did capture other elements of the Tim Burton style." "The stripes, the curved, concentric lines, but it's also the fact that he included the relationship." "That was a really smart move, which is why he won." "Our top 20 countdown goes to the underworld as we check out a chilling creation from season four." "Here's the second best makeup in the history of Face Off." "Anthony and Alam's ice demon, so pretty." "Anthony and Alam." "Ice demon." "What?" "How are they managing something so perfect for the challenge?" "Create a demon character from somewhere around the world and bring it to life." "Then we threw you a twist." "Hell had frozen over." "So, we got "Deumus," a Hindu goddess." "We both really want to make this demon beautiful to take it away from a grotesque nature." " It's very beautiful." " Yeah." "It's pretty." " I like the turquoise." " Yeah." "I mean, it was so great to see them doing a beauty makeup on top of a creature makeup, and just pulling it all together from head to toe." "The feet on this thing were beautiful." "These are some of the best details that we've seen in any makeup." "What's remarkable about this makeup is the flow of the line from horn down through the zygomatic arch." "It's a perfect example of how to move your eye throughout the sculpture." "Alam does like beauty and Anthony does like the creature-y side of things, so that hybrid of their comfort zone, of their wheelhouse, really lent itself to a perfect vision." "There's a very strong synthesis between your demon's attributes and the region that it was from." "We could immediately tell a lot about it just looking at it." "Everything that you guys did worked so extremely well together." "Well done." " Thank you." " Thank you, guys." "Five awesomes." "This one totally blew me away." "We've seen 19 of the best creations ever onFace Off." "When we come back, we reveal the judges' top pick." "The number one makeup is next." "Over five seasons of intense competition," "Face Off artists have created almost 700 special effects makeups." "So far, our judges have revealed 19 of their top 20 picks." "Now we are moments away from the number one makeup in the history of Face Off, but first, let's see the largest." "The largest makeup goes to Eric F and Kris for their two-headed giant." "What the fuck is that?" "I don't know, but it was funny." "It was so big, and then they had this little guy, who was actually the real life-sized guy." "This poor little guy held there, like a little baby like an adult baby." "It was weird." "They probably rang up the biggest bill in material costs on the history of the show." "This thing is like trying to plaster a hot tub." "I mean, it is massive." "Kris and I want to execute the biggest character as possible." "It's gonna be ten-foot tall!" "It's filling up half the stage, and the looks on the judges' faces is amazing." "This thing is so huge, so impressive, but funny." " They switched it back." " This is so great." "Look, he's stabbing' his hand." "You guys should definitely be impressed with yourselves." "I think it's the biggest makeup we've ever seen on the show." "Yes." "That was one of our goals." "So..." "The top creation of all time comes from a season five team, and it's the most camera-ready creature to spring out of your garden." "Here it is, the number one makeup in the history of Face Off." "Miranda and Tate's Peter Pumpkin Eater." "Wow." "This is my favorite makeup" "I have ever seen on the show, period." "There are a ton of awesome sculptural decisions in the head." "It is so good that Ve, myself, and Glenn all agreed that this is camera-ready." "Every little detail on this reads whimsy and fantastical, and I think you did a great job." "Terrific costume, impeccable fabrication." "Miranda did a spectacular job on the sculpting." "I'm sure Tate helped her with all that fabrication and cowl." "What do you think about this coming out of her dress from behind?" "Tate and I are just really bouncing back and forth ideas past each other with everything." "Like that, but pull the whole thing up higher." "Oh, okay." "Should we extend, like, a long line in that?" "So, I start adding little bits of clay right here, and that is already helping, making her look more like she's smiling rather than gaping." "We tell them not to bake in expressions, right?" "They did exactly that, but it's such a cool expression that it doesn't matter." "The paint job, so authentic." "It just felt like this fetid, rotted pumpkin that's laying out in the field, and the combination of that with the wardrobe and the vines coming all the way down on the hands, it's this huge story" "that demands not only to be in a film but to be the star of its own film." "The reason this is my top is because there's nuanced layers." "The use of pumpkins seeds, the gloss, but they used it in reserve, which gave it a realistic sensibility." "I think you knocked it out of the park." "This is my greatest moment onFace Off." "I've never felt so much pride." "It is what we wanted to make." "It was such a team effort, and I feel so honored." "We absolutely loved the sculpture, the paint, and the overall harmony of the piece." "Yeah, girl!" "Oh, wow." "This is an obvious rating." "This probably has at least 100 bitchin's in it." "Miranda and Tate's Peter Pumpkin Eater is off the squash hook." "Looking back at these top 20 makeups, I just cannot wait to see what happens next on Face Off." "There you go." "The top 20 makeups in the history of Face Off according to our expert judges." "But the movie magic doesn't stop there." "The jaw-dropping creations continue on our next blockbuster season of Face Off." "We'll see you then."
