Face Off

Season 9 begins with a cosmic bang as sixteen new talented artists work in teams of two to construct original alien animals that incorporate two models into one massive creation.

Sixteen artists embark on their next challenge with an assist from the U.S. Coast Guard as they create beautiful but deadly siren makeups inspired by exotic creatures of the sea.

Face Off celebrates its 100th episode in style as the artists turn real-life engaged couples into whimsically macabre characters for a group wedding.

The artists take on Face Off's first ever Focus Challenge in which they are given just two days to create and apply a clean, detailed face makeup based upon literary mash-ups.

The artists compete for immunity in a Foundation Challenge based upon a classic Rorschach inkblot test. For their Spotlight Challenge, they pair off and use a unique gateway as inspiration for two makeups-- a Gatekeeper and whatever is behind the gate.

The artists create retro-style aliens for a Foundation Challenge and are then shocked to learn that for their Spotlight Challenge, they must evolve their character into a modern day version of the same alien species.

The artists are tasked with taking a male model and turning him into a female character from a classic Shakespearean play.

The nine artists' skills are put to the ultimate test in a grueling set of three increasingly difficult challenges called The Gauntlet.

The artists are tasked with bringing their own twist to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The seven remaining artists battle for immunity in a barbaric Foundation Challenge judged by Dallas Buyers Club's Oscar-winning makeup artist Robin Matthews.

As the artists draw closer to the finale, they find themselves tackling a Focus Challenge inspired by he Expanse. Contestants are asked to reimagine human evolution in a disastrous future-Earth scenario.

The five remaining artists are tasked with making quirky and macabre family member characters. They are quickly rattled when they learn that this is the semifinal and two of them will be going home.

The finalists embark on their journey into the Face Off finale challenge, discovering that they'll be working with a real-life Hollywood director and full production crew to create three stunning short films on location.

In the second part of the Face Off finale, the finalists must finish work on their characters for the short film shoots with acclaimed director and creature designer Patrick Tatopoulos.
