How do I buy a Ben shirt?! Looks like they're no longer available on CafePress.

Rewatching through the seasons with my GF, and loved all the guys wearing Ben shirts in Season 11. I really want a couple for me and my GF, but I can't find them anywhere. /u/benplowguy it's a long shot you'll see this, but maybe you can shed some light?

What artists should have won their seasons....but didn't?

Just joined this group so this has probably been discussed a million times. I have been watching Face Off for years off and on. Usually binge to get thru the cold boring winters in Jersey. I absolutely love the creativity of the show and admire all the artists who can conceptualize and create in 3 days. I couldn't do what they do in 3 years. Anyway, I think Emily, Miranda and Tyler were 3 of the best artists that were on Face Off. The fact that Emily was only 18 blows my mind. She and Miranda are truly prodigies, and Tyler was amazing. I know Laura, Anthony and Rayce were deserving of their wins on their seasons, but the other 3 are just as talented and I cannot believe they didn't win.

Does Anyone Think That the Live Finales Don’t Really “Work” For a Show Like Face Off and Ink Master?

Imo, they just lack the pageantry and grandiosity like RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Season 9 Ep 13: Kevon's Haircut???

In this episode, I noticed Kevin came on set with a new haircut. At 37:30, they do one of those commentaries where's he's like "omg I feel so much pressure" but his hair is still long? Does that mean they filmed this commentary before? Several months after? I'm perplexed

Miranda in season 5

I'm rewatching season 5 for the first time in like 10 years (randomly remembered face off existed) and I legit could have sworn Miranda was on the bottom like so many times when I watched as a kid. But now that I'm rewatching I only thought this because she repeatedly said almost every episode "I'm gonna be on the bottom" and then goes on to win the challenge lol

Had a dream i was watching a new season of face off :/

So i grew up watching this show and got pretty sad after it’s cancelation. Years later and i just had a strange dream where i sat down and looked for the premiere episode of a brand new season of face off. I woke up mid episode. Sad cus I know it’s not out there in the real world and syfy owns everything about it so the chances of it getting picked up by a new cable are slim. Still, maybe one day.

I miss Face Off

Guys I really miss Face Off. Whenever I try to talk to anyone about it no one else remembers or ever watched it. Face Off was such a good show, all the cast members were so talented, the judges were pretty cool, and the final looks were always breathtaking! Do you think there’s any chance Parmount+ or Hulu of HBO Max or literally anyone would try to do a reboot of it?

Behind the scenes?

Watching Faceoff for the third time thru - anyone have info about behind the scenes? For instance when do competitors record their insights to what was going on at the time? In other words did those people know at time of recording they knew they were voted off? What did they do on days “off”?

Season 5's Future Frankenstein Challenge

Season 5 was a standout season as half of its cast consisted of past veterans and the other half newcomers.

While it was still a competition, what made a show like Face Off special was how those on the show still did their best to lift each other up, even if there were occasional frictions in how people worked together during challenges, combined with the pressure to succeed.

The Future Frankenstein challenge is my favorite, but I tend to like a lot of the team challenges as you see how individual ideas come together to make either a cohesive whole... Or something disjointed, rough and unpolished... Rather like Frankenstein's monster.

It was rather timely because of the release of 'I, Frankenstein', but honestly i would have preferred to have seen any of the actual creations from this episode than whatever the hell that movie was starring Aaron Eckhart.

So the challenge involves each team creating a Frankenstein monster along with his Bride, but to place them in a sort of futuristic type landscape and to have that reflected in the make up.

The duo created by Laura, Alana and Laney was awesome! I am a huge fan of Laura, Alana and Laney, and seeing their ideas come to life was awesome. I loved the idea of how they each had on their hands a sort of exposed device that allows them to recharge by holding hands. Its a very cute expression of how they literally cant live without each other. The designs of The Monster and The Bride are very Burtonesque, or something straight out of the Addams Family, especially The Bride. The umbrella with a severed arm as a handle was very cute. I want to see a film with them in it.

The Monster and Bride created by Tate, RJ and Lima was pretty cool, a very Post Apocalyptic couple uncertain of their purpose and wandering the devastation together. I can understand Lima's idea process for the Bride, but maybe her bodypainting skill was a bit much. And even some of the unexpected damage to one of the prosthetic appliances still worked in their favor. Overall I thought it was really cool.

Miranda, Eddie and Sam... While the final designs were said to be Borg inspired... I personally couldn't help but see the designs and think of Scorpius from Farscape. With that said, one cannot help but feel bad for Miranda in this challenge. After coming off a major win in the previous episode, she just had one setback after another in this episode. It didn't help that Eddie and particularly Sam just weren't vibing on the same wavelength as Miranda. Sam in particular just seemed overall indifferent and apathetic to their concept and just didn't seem to come up with anything better. That indifference is what ultimately cost her.

Roy, Scott and Adolfo's pairing were ok. I did like that in their scenario, Frankenstein was both the scientist as well as the Monster. The Bride had an almost Cenobite quality to her look. However, there seemed a bit of a disconnect from their looks as opposed to the other couples. The other couples you can tell they belong together... Not so much with this pair.

And finally the pairing made by Frank, Eric and Rick. I did like that they had an almost alien zombie like quality. And it tied in nicely with the story created for how they are resurrected. But lordy... What the hell Frank? This is your season for redemption and you are still making juvenile mistakes cuz YOU think something would be funny. I did like the idea of the jaw piece cuz it kinda reminds me of Trap Jaw from He-Man. And Eric Z.... You forget the freakin bolts!?!? At least he owned up to his mistake.

I did like that Kevin Grievioux was a judge. I had no idea the Underworld franchise was.his creation since they often attribute the films to the director Len Wiseman.

Anyway this was overall one of my top fave episodes from the series overall. Its one i revisit a lot.

Hello!

Hi, I’m a huge fan of face off, and my dream is to be a special effects makeup artist! This show has inspired me a lot since I was 7 years old, I’m only 14 now but I want to be like all of the face off contestants!! I’ve watched seasons 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13!! I’m currently watching season three! 😁 My favorite seasons are 7 and 8, because my favorite contestants are on those seasons! I know this place isn’t super active but face off means a lot to me and I was wondering if people still watch it? I cant be the only one! 😅

Anyone else hated the format of the finale?

I've always really disliked it, to the point where I sorta dread it on rewatches. The fact that 2/3 of each contestants team is not them and their helpers are chosen in random order is TERRIBLE. it's like, a completely random pick to who wins, because most of the time whoever has the best teammates take the win in a landslide

Who does McKenzie Westmore wear?

Rewatching Season 13 and fell in love with the multicolor dress McKenzie was wearing on Episode 5 during the presentation. Was looking for her stylist, but does anyone know how to find the brands she wears on the show?

EDIT- it's a Missoni dress. Glad McKenzie posts all her style info on Insta :D

Faceoff drinking game ideas

Drink every time:

Someone says they are going home.

Molds get stuck.

Prosthetic has crack(s).

Someone starts their piece all over.

Someone cries.

McKenzie tells the contestants she has a surprise for them.

Someone gets stressed because Mr. Westmore doesn't like their idea.

Someone says they have alot of work to do at last looks.

The judges say something is really cool.

Any other ideas?

Binge Watching Pet Peeve

One thing I've learned binge watching certain shows is I've developed pet peeves. At least one but more often than not several contestants are always saying they are going home because they don't like what they did or there were issues. Tired of hearing it.

The other one is probably just me but damn McKenzie can you wear something other than a body con dress? I know she has an incredible figure but every dress is the same except for the neckline.

I guess since I'm near the end of season 7 I've been watching way too much and have 6 season to go.

thank you for letting me vent.

How often do you think think they have to reshoot the judges after the actors make them laugh doing something ridiculous?
