Congratulations Tara and Miranda on Another Amazing Week of Faceoff!!!!

Cinema Makeup School graduates Tara Lang and Miranda Jory had another fantastic week on the SyFy show FaceOff. This week's challenge was to design a look inspired by a sea creature the artists found at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach! The twist: their models would be completely submerged in water!!

Tara, along with her partner, Matt (Who was named the overall winner), won the challenge with their gorgeous look inspired by the lyretail fairy basslet!! Miranda also did a beautiful job on her leafy sea dragon creation. Congratulations to them both, we're so proud to have them representing CMS!!

Tara Lang and Matt Valentine's creation outside of the tank. They were the winning team for the challenge! Matt took the lead on sculpting the head and body pieces while Tara was in charge of the painting and fabric.


Here are some pictures of their looks from the Water World challenge. If you haven't seen Wednesday's episode yet be sure to check it out online at  http://www.syfy.com/faceoff/ . And don't forget to watch every Wednesday night!
