The series, which SyFy began developing under the working title Paranormal Files, is being produced by Raw TV's Dimitri Doganis and Bart Layton -- the same production team behind National Geographic Channel's Locked Up Abroad.
Face Off is a reality competition series that will pit special-effects make-up artists against each other and culminate with "one winner and one grand prize that will launch a career," according to SyFy.
The contestants will use different skill sets -- including prosthetics, 3-D design, animatronics, sculpting, puppeteering, casting and molding -- to complete different challenges, which will the be critiqued by a yet-to-be-revealed panel of judges.
Face Off is being produced by Mission Control.
In addition to Paranormal Witness and Face Off, SyFy also ordered Marcel's Quantum Kitchen, a new reality series starring Top Chef second-season runner-up Marcel Vigneron.
"We couldn't be more excited to see these shows move forward," said SyFy executive Mark Stern.
"Whether it's pushing the scientific boundaries of cooking, immersing us in first-person accounts of paranormal encounters, or exploring the creative artists behind special effects make-up, each of these series underscores the increasing breadth of Syfy's diverse brand."
