Syfy’s “Face Off’ returns tonight at 10pm

Take two!

It’s back: Syfy’s Face Off premieres tonight on the network at 10pm, launching season two of the high-stakes competition and elimination series for special-effects make-up artists. This season’s 13 contestants will showcase their skills as SFX make-up artists as they tackle bold, creative challenges in every episode. These challenges are designed to push their artistry and innovation, building to the end of each episode when one contestant is sent home by a panel of expert and celebrity judges. I watched last season’s Face Off and enjoyed it enough that I’m absolutely on board for season two. As a collector of make-up SFX and creature masks/headpieces, this show is right in my wheelhouse. While the first season occasionally slowed down—likely a growing pain for a new series—I’m confident tighter editing will deliver a more fast-paced, engaging show this time around. Either way, my DVR is set and I’m ready for another season I fully expect to enjoy.
