She really is amazing.
(Glenn) That is not
this challenge.
I'm really impressed.
(McKenzie) Previously on Face Off,
Darla's alien beauty queen earned her her first win.
But Kelly was eliminated,
leaving Team Anthony with just one artist.
Now seven artists remain,
and tonight their skills will be tested
unlike ever before.
This challenge might be
the most daunting in Face Off history.
(Emily) This is the hardest thing I will ever do.
Oh, no.
(Stephanie) Just kind of get, like, a little frazzled
and a little frustrated.
Mm.
Toohm!
I am very happy with this.
(McKenzie) In the end,
only one will win a VIP trip
from Kryolan Professional Make-Up
to one of their 85 international locations,
a brand new 2014 Fiat 500,
and $100,000.
This is Face Off.

Good morning.
- Hey. - What's up?
Big winner.
What's up, loser?
[giggles]
Congrats, by the way.
Thank you.
Ben, how does it feel
to be the last man standing on Team Anthony?
(Ben) It sucks.
I feel like we had a pretty good team.
(Ben) Since I'm the only one left on Team Anthony,
there's a lot of pressure,
so I got to put my best foot forward even more so
because, being that he's such a good coach,
I really don't want to let him down.
[horn honking]
(Stephanie) We're in downtown LA walking down the street.
I'm not familiar with LA,
so I have no idea where we're going
or what we're gonna be doing.
We finally go into this beautiful building,
but it's got this haunted old feel to it.
I'm thinking lots of cool stuff
probably happened here.
Hey, guys.
(all) Hey.
Welcome to the Herald Examiner building.
Once home to one of the nation's
most highly-circulated newspapers,
it's now a popular filming location
for movies like The Usual Suspects,
Collateral, and Spider-Man 3.
This week's spotlight challenge delves
into a type of character that has inspired
generations of children and adults alike--
superheroes.
[laughs]
(Adam) This is awesome for me
because in my younger artistic days,
I used to attempt to draw superheroes.
So I'm really excited.
[laughs]
Now, for every Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman,
there's a Bruce Wayne,
Peter Parker, and Clark Kent.
These alter egos are seemingly regular guys
who transform into superheroes
when danger is lurking.
So for this spotlight challenge,
you will transform a seemingly ordinary person
into an extraordinary superhero character.
(McKenzie) Of course, there's just one thing.
Always.
Simply making a superhero character
is way too straightforward.
This challenge might actually be the most daunting
in Face Off history.
Ooh.
What more could we do? What is it?
Because you are the alter egos this week,
and you'll be transforming yourselves
into superheroes.
Oh, my goodness.
[groans]
This is gonna be the hardest challenge
and the hardest thing I will ever do.
Oh, my God.
[laughter and applause]
Okay, is this excitement across the board?
Yeah?
Yes.
(McKenzie) Now I know it's very difficult
to apply make-up to yourselves,
so you will have make-up assistants
on application day to help you apply
your prosthetics.
Nice.
All right, guys, go ahead and get started
on your designs.
I can't wait to see you guys onstage.
Bye.
(Logan) We're going to be applying makeup to ourselves.
No big deal.
No big deal at all.
My character has many elements
of my life incorporated into it,
including a fascination for dragons
and vigilante justice.
I'm envisioning a new character
in an older world.
I've named him Slayer.
This is a dragon-human hybrid.
He's an immortal assassin,
and he protects people from corruption.
I'm very excited
and I'm not excited at the same time.
I'm very introverted, and...
nature was always my outlet.
So for my alter ego,
I want to pull inspiration from nature.
I want to do a mother nature-inspired superhero,
who is a healer.
This is gonna be
a cool makeup.
I have nothing solid yet.
I'm just throwing shapes around and poses.
I'm drawing a blank.
What would I look like if I was a superhero.
Superheroes and super villains are cool,
but I don't know what I'm gonna do for myself.
(Darla) Growing up, I was very quiet and shy
and kind of introverted.
So I start thinking of ways that I can take
those aspects of me
and create the exact opposite.
I want to do more of a guardian angel
type superhero.
She's elegant and beautiful.
And I want a very powerful silhouette.
So I'm excited to get back to the lab
and start working on this.
(Ben) We get back to the lab,
and we have five hours on the clock to work today.
Can we see our ugly mugs?
_
(Ben) To have a live cast of myself is really weird.
I've got one at the house,
but for some reason, this one looks like I'm a lot fatter,
which is un-superhero-ish.
But that's okay. I'll go with it.
Hey, guys!
Hello!
We got a birth-- a birthday in the house, right?
So everybody get over here.
Aww, thanks, guys.
Thank you.
How many people can say
that they had their birthday on Face Off?
I can.
This being my first birthday away from home,
it means a lot to me.
Thank you, guys.
I'm thinking, um, he was a military experiment.
Mm-hmm.
Instead of doing a superhero,
I'm actually going for a villain.
I spent five years in the Marine Corps as a helicopter mechanic.
So my concept is a super soldier that was in a helicopter crash,
and the government put him back together
to create this war machine.
This is kind of like the RoboCop,
Terminator type line.
Yeah.
Ben is the last person on my team.
So it gives me the opportunity to give all my attention to him.
Maybe on the cowl, sculpt the top of your cranium.
He's also my last chance to get to the finale.
And I hope I can get him there.
He's kind of an anti-hero.
He's constantly fighting the urge to do evil things.
Yes.
His name is Reckoning, and he is an anti-hero
who is a human that has made a deal with the devil
to take up his job.
And he wants to use his powers for good,
but he's slowly becoming a villain.
Instead of doing the traditional, two-horn devil,
I decided to go with almost like a crown shape.
So I'm really happy and excited
to see how this is gonna turn out.
My hero, he fights giant monsters, right?
But he has no fucking experience.
He doesn't know what he's doing,
so he's just destroying cities as he's trying to help people.
I want my superhero to be funny.
So he's a bumbling superhero of Japan
who created these gloves.
But the gloves work in reverse
and actually amplify the person wearing the gloves.
So he's able to grow to immense sizes.
He tries to help people,
but he's just ruining the city and millions of people's lives
at the same time.
And much like my life, he is a fish out of water.
My mom's a wigmaker.
And she's showed me a lot of the stuff that I know now.
So I'm gonna make sure that I incorporate a wig
and make it the biggest wig I have ever made,
because my mom is my superhero.
So the wig's for her.
And I start pulling the hair back
and just rolling it so it can get a more simple shape.
And then I use cheesecloth and wrap it so I have something
to glue the moss on.
Then I spray it black and then start gluing moss.
It's huge. And I love it.
What is the idea behind the whole character?
Um, mostly taking, like,
a post-apocalyptic kind of world.
I finally have a concept.
And it's a sort of anti-hero.
Like, a part demon.
She protects humans.
And I'm planning on doing it black and white
like she jumped out of the comic book.
I work at haunted houses.
I scare people for a living.
So her superpower is basically scaring them to death.
What does the face look like?
I don't know yet.
That's-- that's what I'm trying to figure out.
- All righty. - Um.
And I'm having trouble, like,
nailing down exactly what I want the face to look like.
And I just kind of get, like,
a little frazzled and a little frustrated.
Hmm.
(Laura) Stephanie's losing a lot of time by not moving ahead.
She needs to come up with something very fast.
It's halfway through the day,
and I still haven't started sculpting.
I really want to do well on this challenge,
but I can't even think of something to make.
I'm totally lost.
It looks like a comic book character.
Yeah.
You just need to figure out the perfect face.
It's Day 1 of our Superhero Challenge.
And I finally have a concept,
but I'm having trouble figuring out the face.
So maybe a smaller, subtler piece.
That's what I was-- I was thinking of just doing a brow.
(Laura) Yeah. A brow's great.
Just make sure your makeup looks flawless.
Yeah.
(Stephanie) Laura's right.
No matter what I do,
I need to make sure my makeup looks perfect.
I'm going to do a dome shell,
which is kind of like a helmet.
In the Marine Corps,
I did hydraulic sheet metal fiberglass work.
So this is really an opportunity to show some of my skills.
To make this helmet, I sculpted out in wet clay
and then take it over at the black floor machine.
That's cool.
And then I can go ahead
and start sculpting the cowl around this
to make sure it fits.
(Emily) We have mirrors set up at our stations,
so I want to do a test makeup because we are our models.
So might as well test it out.
I'm using Kryolan aqua colors, lavenders, and greens.
And I hate it.
So I go for my second option, which is more natural tones.
I use a flesh-tone color,
and I like that one.
It goes with the natural theme.
And I'm so happy I decided to do this now.
One of the most iconic parts of a superhero
is how their mask is shaped.
So I'm just going
for one that looks like maybe a dragon would wear.
The biggest thing with scales--
you want them to read from far away,
even if they're subtle scales.
The objective is to subtly
suggest that he comes from a world with dragons,
but he's still a human.
So I'm putting in scales, but not too many scales.
There's a lot of freedom with this particular design.
Because dragons didn't exist.
[sighs]
(Stephanie) I'm throwing clay down.
I'm pushing it around.
I'm trying to get a subtle shape.
I don't want to do a superhero mask.
I'm going for a more organic, demonic look.
I named her Doll Face because I want her to be a pretty demon.
(Laura) Did you figure out your concept?
Yeah. Just worrying about not doing enough on the face.
(Laura) You just do an immaculate job.
Yeah.
Okay, just-- it's got to be perfect.
30 minutes, everybody.
That's time, everybody.
Okay, good enough.
[sighs]
(Stephanie) By the end of Day 1,
I have enough clay
blocked out where I know what I'm doing for Day 2.
I just got to take care of my time management
better and finish it.
(Darla) It's Day 2 of the Superhero Challenge,
and we have 9 1/2 hours in the lab.
And I have quite a bit to get done today.
Should I do some filigree work on the helmet
or should I just do that on, like, the portions--
Figure out the face first.
Okay.
The most important thing is getting the face sculpt done.
And as I'm sculpting,
I start looking at the pictures I took at the Herald building.
And I realize I can actually
trace some of the filigree pattern from those pictures
and transfer it onto my sculpt.
So once I trace the filigree, I press it against my sculpture,
and it transfers the lead of the pencil onto to the clay.
So now I have an outline to follow
as I'm placing the filigree.
(Laura) That's cool.
(Emily) I'm feeling good about my sculpt,
so I go ahead and start molding my face.
I finished the mold really quick.
But I cannot use foam latex
because I'm allergic to it.
So I run in gelatin.
I let it sit to set up, and then I'll come back later on.
(Julian) Yesterday I blocked out most of the cowl.
I still have to complete it,
and I need to get started and complete the face.
(Laura) Do you ever speed sculpt?
Not really.
Laura's concerned about my time management.
Stand up.
So she gives me some tips
on how to do speed sculpting.
I like using my fingers and raking the whole thing.
(Julian) Laura teaches me how to get the forms in a faster pace.
There. See how quick that was?
He does like to take his time, which is a good thing,
but on this competition,
you can't afford to take too much time.
I got to speed it up.
I want him to look scary and be disgusting.
I want to show the skeletal structure
underneath the respirator
because I think
that will really bring out the villain aspect of things.
And when I open up that respirator, it will give me
that little creepy factor that really just sells nasty.
I've been thinking about making wings for this guy.
Wings?
(Logan) I'm going to create
some real badass wings sticking up out of his back.
I've had this decade-long pursuit
of becoming a military pilot.
I like flight, and I think it's a cool element
to add to it.
And then I pick out some foam and some steel bar.
And I run the bar through the two pieces of foam.
I bend it to the shape I want.
What do you think of that profile?
And then I gaff tape it together.
100 miles an hour today.
I put two layers of cheesecloth on.
One on one side, one on the other,
and latex them together.
It gives an effect of skin as opposed to raw materials.
Once I get latex on there, they start to look like dragon wings.
[growling]
Dude, that looks awesome.
[chuckles]
Shit.
I go to open my face and...
Shit.
And I can feel the tackiness of the gelatin
that's on the side of the mold,
and it's not setting.
Oh, no.
I pop it out. Then the edges are just atrocious.
I can't use it.
I'm really nervous right now because I don't have a face
for my makeup and I don't know what to do.
This is not good.
Oh, no.
(Emily) It's Day 2 of our Alter Ego Superhero Challenge.
And I'm really nervous right now
because I don't have a face for my makeup.
The edges are just atrocious.
But I'm not giving up.
I just need to get it out of the mold.
So I'm powdering and peeling it.
My only option is to run it in silicon.
But I don't really know how to use it.
I'm not very comfortable with it.
We'll see.
(Laura) How did it turn out?
Not good.
(Laura) Oh.
(Emily) But I got to get this ready for silicone.
[laughing]
I love the size of it.
The arm pieces are important to my concept
because they're the accidental
reason my character becomes a superhero.
So I see these buckets
and I think it would be kind of funny to go really, really big
with these almost non-functional cannon arms.
So I take these serving dishes to use as a top for the bucket.
And I'm attaching tubing.
And then I vacuum form it.
And then I cut out the bottoms of the buckets
so I can put them on my arms.
They look cool.
They need to be painted, but they're 90% done.
Toong!
I'm gonna get out of here.
All right.
Good luck.
- Cool, man. - You got it.
Make sure you know exactly
where you're gonna take this thing.
Okay.
Leaving Day 2,
I think both Adam and Logan are on track.
But I only have two artists left on my team.
Bye, guys. Have fun.
(Rayce) Losing one of them
could really hurt my chance of going to the finale.
Along with the brow that I'm doing,
I'm gonna be making a mask that she holds in her hand
to help scare the other demons.
I start sculpting a really fierce demon face.
I'm going with, like, super-arched eyebrows,
and, like, a pointy nose,
and high cheekbones.
It's not totally refined,
but it looks good enough to be a scary mask.
That's time, everybody.
I think everyone's feeling a little bit nervous,
but also pretty excited about tomorrow.
It's gonna be a stressful, hectic day.
But in the end, we get to be onstage as superheroes,
and that's a pretty cool thing.
(Rayce) Good luck, guys.
(Laura) Hey, the models are here.
Holy shit.
It's application day today,
and we have four hours in lab and one hour Last Looks.
And we are all really nervous.
Laura, look at the edges.
(Laura) Good mornin'! I know.
(Emily) I look at my silicone appliance,
and the edges are stunning.
They're paper thin.
This is just a weight off my shoulder.
I'm so happy.
That looks really good.
(Darla) It's a little bit strange 'cause
we're not waiting on the models.
We are the models.
Um, but we are gonna be having assistance today.
Hello. Logan.
Nice to meet you.
Good to meet you too.
- Hi! - Vance.
Hi.
- I'm Carey. - Nice to meet you.
I have applied makeup to myself before.
But it's not easy.
So it's really important
for me to get the cowl completely pre-painted
before I even put it on.
It's just this and a chin piece.
Okay.
And then the rest of it is the suit,
which I'm trying to throw together.
I know that I have a lot more fabrication
than makeup application.
So the first thing I do
is pull the rest of the costume together.
I want to make all that look as good as it can be.
So I start to do some dry brushing.
Then I just dress the entire costume.
I just hope I've created something
different enough that the judges will be pleased with it.
Hey, Logan, still look cheap?
(Logan) No, it looks awesome.
I am not a fan of putting prosthetics on my face.
So that's why I was like,
"I want to make a character
where I don't have to put as much stuff on."
All I got to do is put a brow piece on
and basically paint everything in black and white.
I start from the nose and then work my way out.
I just got to make sure that it all lines up and it's not,
like, totally crooked.
Now I have to start painting like crazy.
_
So it's time for me to apply a bald cap.
Just kidding. [laughs]
What I have to do now is get these pieces painted
and get 'em ready so that I can apply 'em.
If you're able to start pre-painting the packs on this.
It's time to take the cowl
and really get that black, leathery, metal work on it.
And it's looking great.
So once I get these things applied,
I can just worry about the wardrobe,
and I'll have an hour left at Last Looks.
Cold.
Good painting's about layers,
not obvious, bold strokes.
[laughs]
Especially subtleties.
I'm finishing painting the face.
And the color scheme today
is going to be very flesh-toned and green.
It's a hybrid of a dragon and a human,
so I want to incorporate predominant colors from both.
See you later.
Yeah, bye.
The face goes on, and from here on out,
I'm gonna be Slayer, the Defender of Dragons.
Now, how do I go in and make it more translucent?
I probably would layer upon layer of a very watered-down
translucent alcohol-based colors on top of your flesh-tone.
I'm using alcohol colors to make it more translucent
so we can really get that looking realistic.
But I'm nervous about using alcohol paints 'cause
I've only used them for injuries.
I've done a lot of things this challenge
that I have not done before.
I just hope it pays off in the end.
One hour, everybody.
(Stephanie) I want to make sure that I have a graphic look.
That's why I'm going for the whole
black-and-white color scheme.
But it's looking really muddy and really gray.
Um...
I'm starting to look like a blue, vampirey,
weird-- I don't know.
I'm just not liking how it's all coming together.
And I'm trying to do some flicking
just to break it up.
I'm looking totally different than what I wanted.
(Rayce) 15 minutes, everybody.
(Laura) All right, that's it.
Time's up!
I'm really worried because I'm looking vampirey.
I mean, I only have one appliance.
There's really nothing else to distract away from that.
Ugh. It's making me really, really nervous.
(Rayce) It's game time, baby. It's game time.
(Darla) It's Last Looks,
and we have one hour to finish our superheroes.
I'm really concerned about finishing the face
and not having enough time
to finish this character the way I want to.
Wow, I am not good at airbrushing with my left hand.
Are you kidding?
I really got to punch up
some of the highlights just to make sure
that I have some sort of, like, graphic look to me.
But I could still end up just looking really muddy.
30 minutes.
(Adam) I can't even airbrush on myself.
I still have some painting to do and some shading.
But I can't do it on myself.
Do you need it around your eyes?
- Yeah. - I'll do it.
(Adam) We're all competing to win this thing,
but everyone needs each other at this point.
Look up for me.
(Logan) I'm trying to do modeling,
but I can't see.
I know that I've missed some spots.
So I ask Adam to hit it for 15 seconds.
10 minutes, everybody.
That looks awesome, Ben.
Looking at everyone else's character,
I realize I am not a superhero.
This is so stupid.
There's not much I can do.
All right, it's time.
Fuck.
I'm all right, I'm all right, I'm all right.
(Emily) I've never been this nervous.
I don't think I look like a superhero.
Gosh, I just want this to be over.
Good evening, judges.
How are you doing tonight?
- Great, thank you. - Bitchin'.
(McKenzie) Excellent.
And hello as well to our champion coaches.
How are you guys doing?
Pretty good.
Peachy with a side of keen.
All right, well,
tonight's gonna be a lot of fun, obviously.
This week the contestants'
Spotlight Challenge was to create a superhero
using themselves
as the alter ego and inspiration for its design.
And not only that, they had to apply the makeup
to themselves as well.
And I think it's safe to say
that this may be the hardest challenge
that we've ever done on this show.
For sure.
All right, are you guys
ready to see what they've come up with?
- Oh, yeah. - Absolutely.
- Can't wait. - Okay, well, let's take a look.
_
All right, let's really see what these guys can do.
(Logan) This is a very different experience coming out onstage.
We have to act, which is a blast.
I'm lovin' doing this.
_
(Julian) The makeup alone may not read as a superhero,
but the character as a whole,
I think that reads as superhero enough.
This is just a lot of fun.
(Stephanie) I knew it was gonna be hard,
but I'm just seeing Glenn doing his eyebrow.
He is just so stone-faced while I'm posing, and,
like, "Am I doing this right?"
Yeah, it's nerve-racking.
(Darla) I have a love-hate relationship
with this makeup 'cause I really love the cowl,
but I'm not happy with how the face turned out.
(Ben) I've got this gun in my hands.
I've got these creepy eyes,
and I've got this skeleton face.
I definitely feel badass right now.
[laughter]
(Emily) So I'm onstage.
I'm like, "Okay, I guess I'm a superhero."
I've never been this nervous in my life.
_
(Adam) I make sure to put my cheesy grin on.
And I'm in heaven right now.
This week was such a tough challenge,
but you guys did a great job.
[cheers and applause]
Okay, before the judges come to take a closer look,
I do have another huge surprise for you.
Oh, no.
I wanted to have you all out here together
before I introduce tonight's very special guest judge.
He's a comic book industry legend who has worked
on some of its most popular and iconic titles
like Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk.
He's also one of the founders of Image Comics and created one
of the most popular comic book franchises of all time, Spawn.
[chuckling]
Please give a big welcome to Todd McFarlane.
Oh, man.
Hey, McKenzie, how are you today?
Good. Great to have you here.
Oh, my God. That's so awesome.
(Adam) Todd McFarlane was just a huge influence on me
when I started drawing as a kid.
It's really cool to have him here.
Now, there is no one
more qualified than you to be judging superheroes.
And I know that you were watching backstage.
Yes.
So are you ready to take a closer look at these guys?
Yes, we will.
All right, judges, you ready to do this?
(Logan) This is a very difference experience for closer looks.
I don't know if I'm supposed to act in character
or if I'm supposed to freeze and be just a statue.
I don't know.
Hi, Logan.
Hi.
You sure got a lot done this week.
(Glenn) Could you turn sideways so we can see your wings?
These layers really help sell
these instead of just being flat.
(Todd) Can we get a grit right here?
Yeah, there we go.
Give us a couple of expressions.
_
Yeah.
You look like you're kind of diggin' this.
[laughter]
(Glenn) Did you have fun this week, Julian?
Oh, yeah.
(Neville) Can you give us a furrowed brow?
(Glenn) That's some nice edges
for something that you put on yourself.
I think the ears
could have been sculpted much better though.
I'm sorry.
(Glenn) Let's see this mask.
Were you intending on holding this up?
Is this your mask?
Yeah.
(Glenn) Okay. So let's see this.
It wouldn't actually fit my face.
Cool. Thank you.
Hi, Darla.
Hello.
(Darla) I'm concerned about the paint.
It's starting to crack.
Let's see a look of victory.
(Darla) I'm trying to make as little facial expression as possible.
Now give us a look of poison.
I could be in trouble.
Tell us who made your favorite superhero tonight
on Twitter using #FaceOff
(Darla) I'm worried that if I move around too much, the paint
is gonna start to crack.
Now give us a look of poison.
(Todd) There you go.
(Darla) I just hope that the rest of the makeup
is enough to keep me safe.
(Glenn) All right, Ben, give us that big reveal.
(Glenn) So this is all stuff that you built, right?
How about some expressions?
[chuckles]
You love that big hair, don't you, girl?
All right, you got a couple of looks for us, then?
[laughter]
(Emily) It's awkward.
I completely blank out.
I'm digging my hole deeper and deeper.
Just made the willow weep, I think.
[laughter]
Good evening.
You've just been waitin' to use that hairdo
of yours, haven't you?
(Adam) Maybe.
Let's see what these things are.
They're protonic plasma.
It's all very complicated.
You don't want to hear about it.
[laughter]
Thank you.
Okay, the judges have scored your creations,
so let's find out what they thought.
Julian,
Darla,
Ben.
Congratulations because you are all safe
and can head back to the makeup room.
Shit.
The rest of you were the best and the worst this week.
And the judges would like to speak with each of you
to find out more about your work.
Logan, if you'd please step out.
Logan, I can't wait to hear the backstory,
but all in your superhero voice, please.
My name is Slayer.
[laughter]
I hail from the time dragons ruled,
and I defended them.
Now I defend people.
That's my story.
[laughter]
I'm very impressed
with your conceptual designs and your technical work.
It's not something I've seen before.
It encourages us to want to know more about the backstory,
and its origin is incredibly impressive.
Thank you very much.
I love this color palette,
and it really gives it a lot of life.
And I especially love what you did with your wings.
(Ve) It really takes your imagination someplace, which is great.
I am very happy with this.
Sculpturally speaking, you've nailed it with the face.
You can see that you're able to emote through it.
Yet you've somehow baked in that expression,
and it's really quite accomplished.
Thank you.
You've taken what is traditional garb--
You've got a mask,
you've got a logo,
but you put it into a frame now that isn't so obvious.
So I like the whole message
that you're bringing across right now.
Thank you very much.
Logan, please step back.
Emily, you're up next.
(Ve) Well, forest babe,
tell us all about yourself.
So I am nature's daughter.
So I heal animals,
and I just help bring the good out of people.
(Ve) I got to say, I love the paint job,
but I'm a little tired of the big hairdos.
I don't know what to say, honey.
I'm just very disappointed that you repeated yourself.
Okay, thank you.
This is, for me, not appropriate for this challenge.
You look like a hedge or a topiary.
At this point in the competition,
without allowing yourself to evolve,
you're going to be doomed.
Emily, thank you very much.
Please step back.
Adam, please step forward.
Tell us about your superhero character.
I am the Crimson Wave.
I stuck my arms in these things. They didn't come off.
And I decided to throw a mask on, move to Japan,
and save the city.
[laughter]
Makes a lot of sense when he says it that way.
Yeah.
(Neville) You've really done a great job
at creating an overall superhero character.
It's good that this is comedic because the proportions
are so insane.
If I was 10 years old, 11 years old,
I'd dig you to hell.
Of all the people up there,
you were the one that was in character.
And after doing comic books for 25-plus years,
I dig it.
(Glenn) What really counted is you made sure that you
hit that one note this week which was superhero.
And so many pieces of your design say that so clearly.
And that's what I love about the makeup.
Thank you.
Adam, you can step back.
Hey.
Good job.
Thanks, Dad.
All right, let's talk to Stephanie.
Talk to us about how you got to what is
in front of us right now.
My character is Doll Face,
and she is set in a post-apocalyptic world.
And she is trying to protect all the remaining humans
that are left on Earth.
One of the things that I would have liked to have seen
is that when we asked you to put the mask up,
you said it didn't fit.
And that's a bit of a shame to me.
'Cause it would have been kind of cool if you actually
had the reveal like Beauty and the Beast, if you will.
For sure.
(Glenn) You have chances to explore demons in other challenges.
So if you would have done that extraordinarily well,
I could have gotten behind it.
But the forms are just--
they're too derivative.
(Ve) The appliance that you have on
is very similar to what I put on Kiefer.
Did you ever see the movie The Lost Boys?
Oh, yeah.
(Ve) So it's a little bit repetitive
and boring for me to see it.
And not only that, I think you did a really poor job
painting yourself.
You look like an old lady with red eyes.
Stephanie, thank you.
If you'd please step back.
Okay, thank you, guys.
If you'd please head back to the makeup room
while the judges deliberate.
All right, judges, let's start with you favorite looks tonight.
How about Logan's work?
(Ve) I love Logan's.
It just looked like he stepped right out of another century.
(Todd) Yeah, if you can take him 2,000 years back
and 2,000 years in the future,
I could still figure out the story that would make him work.
The detailing of the makeup
in addition to everything else was pretty incredible.
All right, let's move on to Adam.
(Neville) Everything about it was successful.
He literalized it by making it a comedian.
And that's what makes it also really good as a superhero.
If I could make an action figure out of any of you,
he was the guy that I'd want to bring home
to my eight-year-old son.
(Glenn) He enjoyed it so much.
I forgot it was Adam under there.
All right, let's move on to the looks you like the least.
Why don't we start with Emily?
(Glenn) Marge Simpson is Poison Ivy.
That absolutely absurd hedge of a hairdo.
(Neville) There was nothing that suggested that she
had any strength as a superhero, as a woman.
(Todd) She was a little bit shy about who she was.
She was still uncomfortable in her skin even with the power.
Okay, let's move on to Stephanie.
(Ve) The paint job sucked.
That's what really ruined this for me.
'Cause she looks like a, you know, zombie.
(Glenn) It was a brow shape
that we've all seen a painful amount of times at this point.
(Neville) I don't think it was a horrible makeup.
It's just that there was nothing there but gray.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions?
We have.
Let's bring them back out.
All right, Glenn, tell us about tonight's top looks.
Logan, your character certainly has a superhero vibe,
but what we really love is that he also had a mysterious quality
which made us want to know more about him.
And Adam, the comedic nature of your superhero suits
your personality perfectly.
And your performance gave him extra dimension in life.
All right,
so who is the winner of tonight's challenge?
The winner of tonight's challenge is...
All right,
so who is the winner of tonight's challenge?
The winner of tonight's challenge is...
Logan.
[cheers and applause]
(Glenn) Your superhero clicked in every level.
And you did astounding technical work,
especially considering you had to apply it on yourself.
Great job tonight, man.
Thank you very much.
(Logan) This is a cool moment.
Of all the makeups that I've done in the competition so far,
I'm most proud of this one.
This is win number three for me and I'm stoked about it.
Thank to my coach, Rayce.
Thank you.
All right, so Logan, you and Adam along with the coaches
can all head backstage.
All right, guys, that means that you are on the bottom this week,
and one of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
All right, Glenn, tell us about tonight's bottom looks.
Emily, the makeup part of your character
is actually quite beautiful,
but there was an overall disconnect
with the superhero aspect of the challenge for us.
Stephanie, on another week,
this demon-like character could have worked.
But we really didn't feel like we see you in this makeup.
So who is going home tonight?
The person going home tonight is...
Stephanie.
Yep.
The paint work was pretty weak, but moreover,
we just didn't feel like you were inspired by this challenge,
which showed in the finished product.
(Glenn) I'm sorry.
You know what?
I had a lot of fun in this challenge.
It might not have shown, but I did.
Stephanie, I'm sorry,
but you have been eliminated.
That means Emily,
you're safe this week and can head back to the makeup room.
Thank you.
Bye, Stephanie.
[sniffles]
(Neville) Stephanie, it's been a privilege to have you with us
and show us your talents.
It's in you, we've seen it.
And I'm looking forward to seeing that in the future.
Thank you.
Stephanie, it's really been great having you here with us.
If you'd please head backstage
and pack up your kit.
Thank you so much, everyone.
Good luck.
(Stephanie) Well, I'm goin' home,
and it blows.
I wanted to win. That's why I came here.
It's me.
Aw.
But I feel really good that I made it to the final seven.
What I like about you is you know what you want to do
and you're passionate.
Watching you grow this whole competition
has been a privilege.
Thanks.
Even though I didn't make it through all the way,
I think I did awesome.
I really impressed myself.
It's a bittersweet kind of end for me.
Especially, like, me looking like this.
[Laughs]
At least I'm goin' out lookin' like a badass.
