《特效化妆师大对决》（Face Off）S06E01《Sexy Beasts》

Face Off is returning for its sixth season on January 14th at 9/8c on Syfy, and the unique makeup artistry challenge is going where it has never gone before: Tokyo.

The key team is still in place with host McKenzie Westmore returning alongside judges Ve Neill (The Hunger Games, Pirates of the Caribbean), Glenn Hetrick (CSI: New York, The Hunger Games) and Neville Page (Avatar, Prometheus). Renowned makeup artist Michael Westmore will continue his role as the official contestant mentor as well. However, the 15 contestants are in for a surprise when Face Off heads to Tokyo, Japan for the series’ first challenge outside of America. Once there, the contestants will have to create an anime character based off of their own alter egos.

Other season six challenges will include a Beauty and the Beast challenge, where contestants will have to create their own Beast to wait in a castle for its Belle, an intricate Medieval dragon warrior, an outlandish rock ‘n roll guitarist character, an original wizard inspired by an array of unique wands, a whimsical creation inspired by Roald Dahl characters that have never been seen on screen, and a futuristic robot that has replaced humans in the workforce. The season will end with an electronic, nightclub-inspired light show featuring the world famous DJ Rusko.
