Face Off (2011) s03e02 Episode Script

Previously, on Face Off arrived in Los Angeles, and for their first challenge created original Star Wars aliens.
I'm geeking out.
Rod's stellar creature makeup took him to the top, and Joe was the first contestant to go home.
Now 11 artists remain.
Tonight, they'll take to the high seas Oh, my God, I knew it! I knew it was pirates! Where the stakes are higher than ever.
This is a Face Off first.
You need to learn to mold faster.
I don't know if I can do this.
Oh, shit.
The cowl is stuck.
Oh, God, this is trouble.
This is gonna look stupid.
This may put me in the bottom.
And on stage, they will lay everything on the line.
Fuck.
I really, really, really wanna win this challenge.
It took my breath away.
The thing's wretched.
It doesn't work at all.
I'm thinking, "this is terrifying.
" In the end, only one will win the opportunity to be a guest lecturer at Makeup For Ever's academies in New York and Paris, a new 2012 Toyota Prius V, and $100,000.
And for the first time ever, America, your voice will be heard in selecting the winner.
Only one will win Face Off.
What's going on with the arm? Uh, I overworked it.
I went to the doctor and it turned out all the tendons from all my fingers are inflamed and crossed over.
During the first challenge, then I noticed something terribly wrong with my wrist.
Do you feel like you can do the next challenge okay? It's gonna get worse.
The pain's gonna get worse.
So what do you do? It's one of those choices-- either quit, or just grin and bear it.
I'm not quitting.
Uh, guys! There's something down here in the kitchen! My eye catches a chest that I had not seen there before.
"Good morning, artists.
I'm sending you on a little trip today.
Before you head out, open the box and pick one.
Make sure to bring it along.
You're gonna need it.
See you there, McKenzie.
" Oh, wow.
- Do it, do it.
- Do it? Do it? All of us take a key.
And we're all trying to match 'em up to one another.
And maybe it's a team challenge.
Let's get ready.
Let's go.
- Yep.
- Okay.
Okay, let's go.
Let's go.
We're all really excited, and we have no idea what's coming next.
I've never been on a train, so It's pretty bad-ass and it's fun.
I'm ready for whatever's coming.
I'm bingo, bango, ready to go-go.
We get off the train, and we are in San Diego.
Ooh, look at the front of that ship.
We're walking along this pier, and I notice this magnificent vessel.
Hi, guys.
Welcome to San Diego.
This is the HMS Surprise.
It's been used in major Hollywood films like Master And Commander The Far Side Of The World, also The Pirates Of The Caribbean films.
This week's spotlight challenge is to create an original pirate character who has become one with the seas.
Oh, my God, I knew it! I knew it was pirates! So excited because I love pirates so much.
I've wanted to do a crazy pirate for so long.
This is also going to be your first individual challenge.
A little scary.
Onboard are all kinds of treasure chests.
Inside each one is a different inspiration for your makeups.
Now did you all bring your keys? Each one of your keys opens one of the chests.
When I call your name, I want you to head up onto the ship and claim the scroll inside.
Nicole, you're up first.
Yeah, buddy! "Ship in a bottle.
" This is scaring me, because how am I supposed to put a heavy ship in a bottle on my makeup? Jason.
Cool.
Oh.
Derek.
Before I send you back to L.
A.
to start your work, I'm sure you've noticed there's one extra chest here.
- You wanna know what's inside? - Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, wow.
This is a Face Off first.
The winner of this spotlight challenge will receive a pirate's booty of their own.
$5,000.
Oh, that's awesome.
There's a money prize, which is incredibly exciting, and terrifying, and I immediately think all right, the pressure is incredibly on.
I want you to get inspired with this challenge, so why don't you take some time to just hang out, sketch? And when you're done, I want you to head back to L.
A.
, pick your models, and get started.
Good luck, everybody.
I do love pirates.
So this is a pretty fantastic day for me.
I have kelp.
I came up with this whole idea for this ship captain whose ship has sank and he's walking the ocean floor.
I really, really, really wanna win this challenge.
I got crabs.
I wanna take all the high points in my model's face and accent them with crab shells, make them look like they're hard.
I'm hoping I have enough time to do all this stuff.
I have a dagger.
So I start thinking about my pirate being an expert with daggers, and she keeps them in her body.
So her daggers are in her ribcage in the front, and then also in her ribs in the back.
Just doing this challenge is great, but having that extra $5,000-- that's extra incentive.
We all arrive back at the lab, and now it's time for us to choose our models.
In my head, I'm picturing the old captain with a beard.
But I'm the last one to pick my life cast and I'm stuck with a girl.
So I have to do a gender swap.
It's gonna be a hard one for me.
Immediately, I need to start sculpting his face, and I think, man, that would be cute to have a shell on the guy's head and his face as a creature so we can still incorporate the eyes and have that creature just coming out of the shell.
I wanna put hair in here.
You're making him look so angry.
Yeah.
Derek and I wanna sit next to each other just to have fun.
I love hanging out with my brother.
He's like one of my best friends.
I got barnacles.
I'm not a great sketcher, so I jot down notes of textures, textures, and the design of what it is that I wanna do.
I definitely wanna challenge myself and change it up as much as I can.
Pirate is becoming one with the sea.
So I wanted to have a seahorse that's being born through him into the sea.
I'm gonna have to really be good with my time management and planning.
So I'm concerned.
My concept is this pirate is lazy, not doing what he's supposed to be doing, so the captain fused this spyglass to his face permanently.
So that's pretty much all he's able to do is look out in the ocean.
When I see jewels, I'm kinda like okay, I could do whatever I would like with this.
What are you doing? Doing a pirate that's infested with octopus.
My concept is a greedy, jewel thief pirate.
He's got the treasure, but the octopus got him as well.
If I won the extra five grand, I'd probably throw most of it onto my student loans.
That's my biggest burden right now.
It's what holds me back.
The thing I keep going back to is on the sidewalk outside there are all these cracks.
And I'm thinking about the sea urchin just kind popping out of this ball thing.
So I decide I'm gonna do a chest piece of cracking, so we'll see where it goes.
I'm gonna do this part a different color from that part.
Yeah, ah, yeah.
So this looks hard and that looks soft.
This is a lot of work.
It's the most work I've ever taken on in my life, single-handedly, and I'm terrified.
I'm not too sure what's going on with CC.
She seems lost.
Like she can't solidify a concept.
I'm looking around the lab, I'm seeing amazing things, a lot of fabrication.
I'm still trying to figure out a neat design.
How much time we got left? I'm a little nerve-wracked at this point.
I'm trying to get a game plan together.
I have to really pull some tricks out of the bag because I don't wanna be going home.
Coming up I don't know if I can do this.
My mold is stuck.
This is trouble.
Tonight, for the first time, we have a very big prize on the line.
Great silhouette, fantastic job.
You were a little directionless here.
I'm worried I'm going home tonight.
I'm trying to come up with an original pirate.
Barnacles are tough because I don't know a whole bunch about them.
It's not a crab or a shell-- something that is a little more common.
So I'm starting to rough out my sculpture while trying to incorporate the basic shape of the barnacle.
Ah! Damn it! I'm trying to be careful when I'm trying to use the tools the way I normally use them, and they're attacking me.
Where can I get a band-aid? I'm bleeding like a maniac.
I just don't wanna take anymore time for bleeding.
Thank you.
I'm just like, why? Why now? It's gonna affect my sculpture and my mold-making.
All right everybody, time's up.
Let's go home.
So, it's day two, and I pick up where I left off yesterday.
The winner of this challenge will win $5,000.
That just raised the stakes for everybody.
Everybody wants to win that booty.
Once my sculpture is finished, it's time to make the mold.
You do this by putting a cement-like substance on top of the sculpture.
Once it hardens, you clean out the clay and it fill it with foam or silicone.
The foam or silicone eventually becomes the prosthetic.
I chose to do the one piece because I want to focus on the detail that I wanna put into the face.
And this mold is all I have.
I have to get it done right the first time.
This is actually gonna be a belt buckle or a centerpiece for my character.
He is a jewel thief, and I'm tying the barnacles in there in the fact that when he does these bad deeds the barnacles start to grow out of his skin.
So those are actually gonna be in my face piece.
Hey, everybody! - Hey.
- Hi, guys.
I have the amazing Ve here with us today to see how you're doing.
Of course it's gonna be Ve because she's done all the pirate movies.
You know, Pirates Of The Caribbean.
She did amazing stuff with each one of those characters.
Hi, CC.
How are you? My inspiration was barnacles.
But he's all about his money and finding jewels.
So right now, I'm making him a belt piece that's gonna have some of the pieces on there that-- Wow.
I was beginning to think your inspiration was jewels.
Right, yeah.
Uh, hearing Ve say that she thinks I have jewels is a little nerve-wracking because I feel like I have to kinda change my concept up again.
I'm going for like maybe a steampunk type of look to it.
So he's got all the wiring going in through his skin.
If you're doing steampunk, you better do it right, 'cause Glenn'll really be down your throat if you don't.
- Okay.
- Oh, yeah.
Here's my concept is, uh-- She actually carries her daggers with her all the time and has 'em in her ribcage and in her back.
- Wow.
She's bad-ass.
- Yeah.
Can't wait to see it.
- Hey, Nicole.
- Hello.
- How are you? - Good, how are you? My inspiration piece is a ship in a bottle.
I'm thinking the captain of a ship.
Then his ship blow up, and now he's like been impaled with pieces of wood from the ship.
Are you doing a male or a female? 'Cause this is a female body.
It's a female body, but-- You're making a female into a male.
Okay, I think the transition is gonna be a detriment to your makeup as opposed to something that's gonna make it better.
Now I'm thinking, should I change everything? This may put me in the bottom for trying to change a gender.
- Hi.
- How are you? When Ve walks in, I think everyone is pretty nervous.
You know, the last time I saw her I was on stage and it wasn't such a good time.
- Holy smoke, that's cool! - Wow.
- Thank you! - Wow.
- Wow! - I'm calling you for Halloween.
So, she has this chest piece that's gonna go down here.
Oh, that's really bitchin'.
And then the face piece goes here and back into her hairline.
She's gonna be slightly grotesque within this beautiful costume, isn't she? Awesome.
Anything standing out to you? Um, I liked Roy's with the daggers.
I liked the idea that they're stuck in the ribcage and all that.
That was a really cool idea.
Sarah and the amazing costume.
Which isn't makeup, but it's still an amazing costume.
So I think that might be really cool when it's all put together.
Nicole, who had "ship in a bottle.
" Yeah, and she's doing the female as a male.
How did you feel about that? If she's a real tiny woman, I think it could be a detriment to the whole picture.
Just have to scale it all down.
All right, well, we'll see how it turns out tomorrow.
- Yeah, can't wait.
- Thank you.
Okay, everybody, we're heading out.
Good luck tomorrow.
Good luck, everybody.
What do you think I should lay this up with? Just some shim? I'm trying to do a face and a cowl, which is basically a hood for a makeup.
Never applied more than five prosthetics in my life, so, this is a lot of work.
I'm running around the shop, asking everybody I know for advice, because I'm the youngest person in this competition.
Do you think I could start the other half of this mold? Oh, yeah, a long time ago.
I want my character to have a coral skin structure, and hands turning into tentacles.
It's definitely gonna be a lot of stuff I want to get done.
Ve said that she didn't like that I was turning a girl into a guy.
I was feeling really good, I was really liking my concept, and now I'm just really concerned.
It's like, maybe I did the wrong thing.
I'm at a loss right now.
I don't really know what I'm gonna do.
I just wanna do a scary pirate.
Like, a dude, like, a-- You know? So, the sea urchin has this yellow gooey stuff in it, and I want to have yellow gooey stuff on my sea urchin.
So, my plan is to work out with my model squeezing the syringe and letting it all ooze out.
If something gets stuck, or it's the wrong consistency, then it might splatter on the judges, and that terrifies me.
I have a lot of work to finish up.
I need to get this cowl molded, and I don't even have my claw finished yet.
I'm running around the shop, shaking like a leaf.
I'm like, "I don't know if I can do this".
Alana, there's one hour left.
I just need to get my beauty coat onto my other half of my cowl.
All I want to do is cry right now, because this is gonna be a disaster.
You need to learn to mold faster.
Oh, shit.
My molds are set.
I have to clean them out.
It seems impossible with one hand.
My mold is stuck to the positive of the head.
I grab a hammer, 'cause I know I have to break the edge.
Time is ticking, I'm going at this as smoothly and as fast as I can make myself go.
Ouch.
And the cowl is just not giving.
It's feeling like, oh, God, this is trouble.
The cowl is stuck to the positive of the head.
Okay You just want to do all these things calmly.
If you get frazzled, you will crack a mold, and break it, and be without.
Thank God the positive releases out of the negative, and I start cleaning clay.
What am I looking for? Um Uh, I don't know what to do! Everyone is really stepping it up.
A lot of people are fabricating stuff.
I've never fabricated anything before, but I'm thinking a mast from the ship going through him.
I'm just gonna do everything I can to figure it out.
This is gonna look stupid.
This is gonna, like If it's in somebody, it's, like, wobbly.
You know? My problem for the rest of the day is trying to figure out how this fabrication is gonna work.
I'm trying to get my cowl finished before the end of the day.
And time is just ticking and running out.
I'm shaking like a leaf at this point.
I'm like, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do this in time.
Last mold of the day, we're gonna pull it and clean it.
Are there any wooden tools out here? I'm trying to get my cowl cleaned out, and nothing is going as planned.
I have a hole in my mold.
Awesome.
This could go one of two ways.
And I just don't want it to go that other way.
Oh, fuck! You wanna go help Alana? Needs to get her shit molded, and she's got 20 minutes left.
- She outside? - Yeah.
We're trying to clean Alana's mold.
Alana's having some trouble getting a mold finished up.
If I was in the same position, I'd want someone to help me, so, I'm gonna go help 'em.
This sucks.
We gotta get you making faster molds, missy.
I know, dude, I really thought that I was like, hauling ass on my mold, and then I looked up, and it's like, oh, okay, time's almost over.
I have angels all around, and they are helping me.
All right, guys.
I think I gotta close my core up.
I'm just like, looking up to the sky, just thanking God for all these amazing people.
Okay, guys, it's time! Let's go.
At the end of the day, I'm amazed that I have a cowl and a chest piece done.
So, I am concerned.
How am I going to get these pieces well-applied? With one hand, and this.
Today is application day, and we have four hours in the shop to apply our makeup, start pre-painting, working on our costume, and then have an hour for last looks.
I really want to win that $5,000.
It would really help out back home.
Me and the girlfriend are struggling.
So, that money's pretty important to me.
I'm feeling pretty nervous, just because there's a lot to do in four hours.
And there's never enough time in the day.
Glad this me out okay.
Shoot, models are coming in.
- I'm Jason.
- James.
Nice to meet you, James.
I just want to see if it fits.
Immediately, I put on the headpiece.
I'm on a timeline here.
Gotta just start busting stuff out.
Looks good, looks good, looks good.
Let's see if this will fit you.
I have quite a bit to do.
I need to lay down my bald cap and then get my face appliance on my model, blend the edges off, and then start to paint it.
I learned that sea urchins eat kelp beds.
That's why your skirt is kind of kelpy, and the sea urchins are coming through and eating you, turning you into this sea witch character.
It would be amazing to win this, and to get this money.
I would probably take my boyfriend out for a nice dinner.
He might deserve that.
You, my dear, look awesome.
I'm in a comfortable place.
I get the face on, I get the chest on, just like I planned to do, and I go to put on the wig And it doesn't fit.
It doesn't fit at all.
I had hot glued all these different plants into the hair, and so it's all tied and glued together, and there's no untying it and making it work.
Bring your hand down with me.
Crap.
So, I make the decision to put a bald cap on this guy.
It would fix my problem.
Yeah, that'll be nice.
I'll just have to lift the appliance.
It definitely takes a giant chunk out of my day.
Fuck! I just know naturally, I'm a very scatterbrained person.
Who the fuck would leave that on? And I know I need to slow down a little bit.
Someone left the soldering iron on.
Thank you.
Because the more time I spend with Mr.
Medic, the more time I take away from my application.
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.
As I start painting my model, the paint is starting to dry really fast.
Starting to crack a lot.
I see his skin coming through, so I know, like, the only way to really cover it and to get an even tone is to darken his skin tone.
- A lot-- lotta work.
- And your chin back.
Application day is a nightmare for me.
I lost a lot of time realigning that wig.
At first I was thinking I might win the $5,000, and now I'm thinking I'll be lucky to be safe.
We have four minutes left.
Yeah, buddy.
I rip my crab claw out of the mold, and it still has flashing around it.
I don't have time to trim this.
I gotta worry about it at last looks.
I have to finish my makeup, get my model in her costume, and trim this whole thing, and make it work.
Guys, that's time.
I have a lot of work to do in this last hour.
I gotta boogie, I gotta roll.
I'm borderline having a seizure at how nervous I am.
Coming up We have a very big prize on the line.
You can't help but think it's a kick-ass-looking character.
Honestly, you were a little directionless here.
It was just wretched.
It took my breath away.
I can almost smell $5,000.
We have an hour for last looks.
I'm just hoping mine stands out, because everybody's doing really big pieces.
I have so much to do at last looks.
I don't have much prosthetic-laying experience, and it's showing.
Ah, this is pulling too much, okay.
It really is tough to finish a piece with one hand.
That's one minute! Put your hands out for me.
I have a finished product, I don't know how the judges are gonna feel about it, but I'm very proud.
Time! Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
Tonight, one of you will be eliminated.
First, say hello to your judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio Glenn Hetrick.
Good evening.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Argh, mateys! Creature and concept designer Neville Page.
Hello, everyone.
- Hi.
- Hi.
This week, your spotlight challenge was to create an original pirate who has become one with the sea.
And tonight, for the first time, we have a very big prize on the line.
A pirate's booty of $5,000.
So, let's see what you've all come up with.
First up is Rod.
At this point, I'm looking at the silhouette, and the shape is looking good.
My pirate walks out onstage, and I think he's awesome.
He's pulling off the whole character.
It looks great, I love it.
I think that I have a really good chance of being in the top looks on this one.
I mean, I can almost smell $5,000.
I feel like my character is striking.
It carries the emotions that I put into it.
I've never fabricated anything, and I'm worried about the mast right now, just 'cause the thing's bending.
This could possibly put me in the bottom.
I do feel confident, I feel proud of what I've accomplished.
Now whether or not the judges will like it or not, you know, is another story.
I'm pretty proud of my makeup.
I mean, there's a couple of things I would've maybe rather have done different, but it's pretty cool-looking.
I'm feeling pretty good about it, but there's some really strong pieces, so we'll see what happens.
I think he looks pretty gross.
He had his finger in his belly button.
He looks nasty.
He looks like I wanted him to look.
She looks amazing.
She is a crab girl, and she is one fierce bitch.
I question maybe one or two of the things, but 90% of it I'm happy with.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look? See that bottom of the nose, and the lips sloughing off? Oh, oh.
I thought that was actually lips.
Yeah, no, this is the lips up there.
- This is all pretty cool.
- Yeah.
This idea.
It's a shame it's not more of it.
Yeah.
Looks like the mast has gone a bit flaccid.
My mast totally bent really bad.
I'm just thinking, "I'm going home tonight.
" We want to know what you think of tonight's transformations.
Tell us on Twitter, using the #FaceOff.
Looks like the mast has gone a bit flaccid.
My mast totally, like, bent.
She needs a little Vi-arr-gra.
I'm really concerned about going home tonight.
First thing that comes to mind is the barnacles should at least look like barnacles.
I don't see "barnacle" in it anywhere.
What do we have coming through the forehead there? That's the sea urchin things coming out.
Oh, God.
- Oh! - Nice.
They loved my little ooze trick, so I'm really happy I did that.
The texture on the face is lacking detail.
The inspiration was jewels.
And there they are.
You were gesticulating and doing some cool stuff in here.
So, you're doing this? Uh-huh.
Thanks.
The judges have scored your creations.
Let's find out what they thought.
Tommy.
Nicole.
Rod.
Derek.
And Alana.
You are all safe.
Oh! Please head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you guys.
So, the rest of you were the best and the worst of the week.
The judges would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Eric, you're up.
Your inspiration is the - The spyglass looking out.
- Right? It seems to me like you missed a chance to do something different and fun with that whole scenario, - Yeah.
- and you didn't do it.
That being said, I do like that side of his face - with all that detail with it - Thank you.
Like, being fused in there.
Honestly, the thing sticking out of his face is just wretched.
I wish you would've seen that and changed course.
Looks like a small chimney stack.
Little bricks.
And I really didn't like the eyeball.
It turned it, really, into a cartoony effect.
I was kind of worried about that happening, but I like the paint job that I did on it.
I was trying to go for a steampunk kind of aspect with the Told you to stay away from that.
Eric, you can step back.
Fuck.
Roy, you're up next.
So, tell us a little bit about what was the inspiration.
Scarlett was a captain who was both beautiful and deadly with a knife.
And after she spurned the affections of Davy Jones, he condemned her to the reef.
Great, well, you know, the silhouette when she first came out was one of the more profound ones.
You can't help but think it's a kick-ass-looking character when you've got knives in the back.
M'kay, thank you.
I think the greatest success that you've achieved in this makeup is the fact that it's very hard to figure out how to integrate a dagger without doing lame-ass knife hands.
You know, something like that.
You go, "what do I do with this knife?" Just a really cool image.
Not at all what I would have gone for, which is what makes me respect and appreciate it even more.
Thank you very much.
I love all your little clever things making the sea urchins out of the feathers up there.
What a clever idea.
You did a great job, Roy.
Roy, thank you very much.
CC.
CC, could you start by explaining the concept behind your makeup? My guy has been cursed by a sea witch for all of his evildoing.
I feel like you were a little directionless here.
And I see that reflected in the makeup, unfortunately.
I want to find out why you chose to alter his skin tone so much.
Initially, I was going with more of a lighter paint, but it started to do some cracking on me, so I just decided to go with something a lot darker.
I don't think this was very successful for you today, CC.
The growths on his face don't feel like barnacles.
And you've made it so symmetrical, it feels more like a face flute.
That's not a good thing.
CC, thank you very much.
Sarah, you're next.
Tell us a little bit about the concept.
She's a pirate wench.
The boat capsized, and then these urchins have infested her and are starting to come out.
There's this wonderful rhythm of-- of form.
It keeps it dynamic, and keeps your eye interested.
Thank you very much.
My favorite thing about this is this haunted look that comes from the color palette that you chose.
- Really, really cool color.
- Thank you.
- Really cool breakup.
- Thank you.
When we were in the lab yesterday, it took my breath away.
And I thought, oh, my God, if the makeup is as good as this costume, it's gonna be amazing, and you did not disappoint.
- Thank you very much.
- Sarah, thank you so much.
Jason, you're up.
Well, Jason, can you please explain to me what jewels has to do with your pirate.
He was going for the treasure, but not without getting attacked by octopus.
I'm kind of disappointed.
You could've done so many other things.
You just didn't embrace the jewel thing.
It doesn't look like there's a huge amount of character design within that facial sculpture to warrant having gone through all of that effort.
We've spent all of this time creating a full-facial prosthetic, and a chest and belly, which accomplish, for me, almost nothing.
I could've spent a little bit more time sculpting the octopus, but I really wanted to stay away from being too terrifying.
I wanted to make a believable character.
I think that may be right where you fell down.
And that's in the conceptual stage.
Jason, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Laura.
Could you begin by telling us about the concept of your makeup? The item I was given was a shell.
And I decided that I would have the model's face coming out as the creature, and the head be the shell.
It's got a really nice feel head to toe.
It feels to me like you've endeavored to tackle a lot of different elements you addressed head to toe, which-- that's awesome.
I thought it was a great silhouette.
The fact that you were able to get that much definition in this headdress piece is really quite good.
- Fantastic job.
- Thank you.
I do like the coloring, I like the way you painted it, and I think you did a successful makeup.
Thank you very much.
You can step back.
Okay, guys, the judges have heard what you have to say.
Please head back to the makeup room while they make their final decision.
All right, guys, so let's start with the top looks.
Why don't we begin with Laura's shell-inspired pirate? I love her form, I love her attention to detail.
Everything else I'm looking at, we have human facial form popping through whatever they did underneath it.
Yeah, she tried just a little bit harder to do something different, and that was a really huge challenge, I mean, wow.
All right, then let's move on to Sarah.
I love the profile of that makeup, all of her choices were really well-done, right down to the little goo when we walked up, that was so cool.
It exudes confidence to me that she was able to do all that work, and still manage to remember to put one little gag in there - Yeah.
- To push it over the top.
All right, let's move on to Roy.
He addressed a large part of the challenge.
Very simple, very straightforward, and then spent the rest of his time figuring out how to put those daggers in in a way that works.
It was a beautiful color, good execution.
Impressive.
Why don't we talk about some of the looks you liked the least this week? Why don't we start with Jason? Jason's approach was totally lackluster.
The whole thing was really bad.
And jewels.
- Where were the jewels? - In his hand.
This is BS, this handful of jewels.
All right, let's move on to CC.
Everything she did she made bad choices, unfortunately, and I don't even know where to start.
Sculpturally, huge problems.
Application-wise, huge problems.
Coloring, huge problems.
All right, let's move on to Eric.
It might as well have been a paper towel roll glued to his eyeball.
Could not have been worse.
It came out too far.
- Yes.
- The eyeball looks fake.
He liked the paint job on the eyeball, so he put it on.
- Ah, I heard that.
Uh - Yeah.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? - Yup.
- I believe so.
Okay, let's bring them back out.
Glenn, why don't you tell us about the top looks? Laura, your character had really interesting colors, and you did a great job embracing the challenge.
Sarah, your character had an incredible silhouette.
The makeup and the wardrobe was fantastic.
And, Roy, you did something very unexpected.
The daggers were incorporated in a really cerebral way.
All right, then, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge and the $5,000 prize? The winner of this challenge is All right, then, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge and the $5,000 prize? The winner of this challenge is Sarah.
Thank you.
It was just awesome.
The spines that were bursting from the skin, the paint job-- Very, very complete character.
Well done.
It feels incredibly amazing to have my work recognized.
Plus I'm taking home $5,000.
Well done, Sarah.
Congratulations on your $5,000 win.
Thank you very much.
You can head back to the makeup room.
Laura and Roy, you are also safe this week.
Please head back to the makeup room.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, that means the rest of you were our bottom looks this week.
One of you is going to be eliminated.
If you please step forward.
All right, Glenn, why don't you tell us - about the bottom looks? - Eric You had the opportunity to do something really cool with this concept.
And instead, we ended up with a lame attempt at a steampunk pirate.
CC, your lack of a solid concept really compromised your final product.
And, Jason, the jewels seemed like they weren't really much of a consideration in your makeup.
It was a dispassionate job.
So, who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is CC.
Your sculpt didn't read as barnacles.
That was the big problem.
In the end, we just think that you need to work on your skill set and your design work.
CC, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
The rest of you are safe this week.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room.
Sorry.
I want to say that what I see out of you is the passionate makeup artist.
Don't give up.
It's just the beginning.
CC, it's been great having you here with us.
Will you please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, CC.
Good luck.
- Good luck.
So, I'm going home.
No.
I think the hardest part about leaving now is I would love to show more of my skills.
The future, I feel like, for me, is bright.
I'm moving forward, I'm gonna continue to push, and show that I can do amazing art.
