McKenzie meets the artists at Hollywood’s historic Magic Castle and introduces them to their solo Spotlight Challenge of creating their very own wizard, inspired by one of the many wands on stage.

Chloe is captivated by the filigree on her crystal wand and envisions a female wizard with filigree binding her entire body. It’s a lot of work, but if she can pull it off, it’ll be gorgeous.
22325
George chooses a wand with brass gears, and uses these elements to create a wizard who’s morphing from flesh and blood to metal and oil.
22326
Cat is inspired by the feminine this week. She picks a wand that has a glowing orange flower at the end, and builds a forest-dwelling, nature goddess character around it.

Tyler LOVES wizards. Like, LOVES THEM. So he moves through this challenge quickly and confidently. For the amount of work he accomplishes, you’d think he had magical powers...
22327
Corinne kept her design fairly minimal but executed it with expertise. The judges state that her wizard most closely resembles her wand, and she reaches top looks this week.
22328
Glenn finds that Chloe chose the wrong element of her wand to focus on. The result has an unfinished, incoherent feel to it. She faces elimination this week.
22329
Niko had a great concept for his wand, but he struggled making the surfaces smooth enough to look like metal. That, combined with his cultural unfamiliarity with the subject matter, lands him in bottom looks.
22330
The judges couldn’t help but shout about the epic amount of work Tyler got done. They love the transition from healthy tree at the bottom, to cindered branches at the top. He’s in top looks this week, just like he knew he would be.
22331
The way George transitioned his wizard’s face from bronze panels to flesh was inspired, creepy, and powerful. He scores his first win with this makeup.
22332
Cat’s work this week felt too artsy-craftsy for Ve, and too orange for Glenn. She is sent home, but it’s not clear who’s more upset – her, or Niko!
22333
At the end of the ordeal, McKenzie pops her head into the makeup room and tells everyone she’s taking them to Japan! SQUEEEE!
