In Face Off season 4 episode 7, titled "Howl at the Moon," the remaining contestants are tasked with creating werewolf-inspired makeups. After a night-time visit to a zoo to observe wolves in their natural habitat, the contestants get to work on their designs, which must be both practical and visually striking. The judges are particularly interested in seeing how the artists deal with the challenge of marrying realistic wolf features with a Hollywood-style fantasy aesthetic.
As the contestants work on their makeups, tensions run high, with some struggling to bring their ideas to life while others take risks that could either pay off or result in disaster. The artists must use a variety of materials and techniques, from sculpting and molding to airbrushing and hair application. The show offers plenty of behind-the-scenes glimpses into their creative processes, as well as interviews with each of the contestants as they share their thoughts and ideas.
The judges are joined by guest judge Vivica A. Fox, who brings her expertise in film and television to the panel. The contestants must present their makeups to the judges on a dimly-lit set, adding to the eerie atmosphere and giving the werewolf creations a chance to really shine. The judges' critiques are focused on the technical aspects of the makeups, as well as their overall impact and ability to tell a story.
Ultimately, only one contestant can come out on top, while another must be sent home. Viewers can expect plenty of drama and suspense as the contestants compete for the top spot, with even the smallest mistakes potentially costing them their chance to win. However, the show also offers plenty of humor and lighthearted moments, making it a fun and entertaining watch for fans of makeup and special effects. Whether you're a diehard fan of the show or just looking for something new to watch, "Howl at the Moon" is a great episode that showcases some truly impressive creativity and talent.
