"The Face" series extended the range of contestants. Both men and women could become "The Face Vietnam". Contestants faced five challenges: 'Catwalk with personal style', 'Catwalk whilst hiding their faces in a hat', 'Taking a photo showing their true beauty', 'Show their talent' and 'Interview with the mentors'. After many months of casting in Ho Chi Minh City & Hanoi, fifteen models passed to the pick-team round.
Team Anh Thư: Nguyễn Trần Đức Ân, Huỳnh Thị Tú Anh, Phạm Thu Huyền, Nguyễn Thanh Trâm, Võ Minh Toại, Hoàng Kim Ngân
Team Thu Phương: Bùi Thị Xuân Hạnh, Nguyễn Hương Liên, Lâm Hoàng Oanh, Hồ Hải Triều "Vio", Vũ Tuấn Anh
Team Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu: Phạm Tuấn Ngọc, Nguyễn Hoàng Học, Nguyễn Ngọc Phương Vy, Nguyễn Thị Cẩm Đan, Lương Thùy Dương
Due to health condition, Đức Ân had to withdraw from the competition. As a result, mentor Anh Thư had to pick another contestant for her team and Hoàng Kim Ngân entered the competition. Later, the models entered to their team's apartment.
Quit:Nguyễn Trần Đức Ân
Entered:Hoàng Kim Ngân
Episode 2: Who is the real chess player?
First aired 11 June 2023
In this episode, the 15 models got to see a dance performance from the Fansie Family and dancers, before having a master class from them about choreography dance that they perform earlier. Later, each team had to perform the dance they just learnt and team Anh Thư won.
Winning master class:Team Anh Thư
The models had to make a commercial video for Viaggio Refreshing Smoothie Cleanser. Johnny Cai & Lê Phương - who represented Viaggio skincare, chose team Thu Phương as the winner and Hương Liên was the best performer overall and she would receive a 6-month contract with Viaggio along with products worth 10.000.000VND. Anh Thư nominated Thu Huyền and Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu nominated Cẩm Đan to get into the darkroom for elimination. In the end, Thu Phương eliminated Cẩm Đan for having a childish attitude, which was worse than her potential.
Winning coach and team:Thu Phương
Booked for job:Nguyễn Hương Liên
Bottom two:Nguyễn Thị Cẩm Đan & Phạm Thu Huyền
Eliminated:Nguyễn Thị Cẩm Đan
Special guest: Nguyễn Minh Phương & Nguyễn Phúc Thắng (Fansie Family), Johnny Cai, Lê Phương
Episode 3: Thousands of pounds hanging on the catwalk
First aired 18 June 2023
In this episode, the 14 models had 2 minutes to perform catwalk from the backstage. The mentors of the other teams could bring any challenges and judged their performances. With a total of 14 points, Tuấn Ngọc had the highest scores from the mentors, therefore he won the master class.
Each team had to send one person to perform a continuous catwalk through five obstacles in five groups. Because team Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu was down by one member, one of their models had to perform the challenge twice. Team Anh Thư won the challenge with a total of 100 points, and all 5 members of the team will be walking for Adrian Anh Tuấn's latest fashion show. Although Tuấn Ngọc & Tuấn Anh were mainly considered for elimination, the losing mentors ultimately nominated Hoàng Học & Hoàng Oanh. Anh Thư gave the two nominees a challenge in which they had to change their outfits and performed catwalk once again. After seeing Hoàng Học failed to wear shoes when wearing an oversized fishtail dress, Anh Thư eliminated her from the competition.
Winning coach and team:Anh Thư
Booked for job: All members of team Anh Thư
Bottom two:Nguyễn Hoàng Học & Lâm Hoàng Oanh
Eliminated:Nguyễn Hoàng Học
Special guest: Trang Lê, Lê Minh Ngọc, Adrian Anh Tuấn

Teams had 10 minutes to choose the outfits and 30 minutes to shoot a clip following the Transfiguration trend. Each video had a duration of no more than 1 minute 30 seconds, including a scene with the Elise logo and a fixed slogan of the brand. Team Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu won the challenge.
Winning master class:Team Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu
Teams experienced the role of representing fashion brand Elise and convincing clients to download the Elise app and experience shopping on the app through an online livestream. Teams could invite anyone (including contestants who were eliminated in previous episodes) to support their team's livestream. Lưu Nga, the founder of Elise, declared Thanh Trâm as the representative of Elise brand. While team Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu had their first victory, Minh Toại & Vio were nominated. After a reconcilement between Anh Thư & Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu, the latter ultimately eliminated Vio, leading Thu Phương to leave the show's studio in frustration.

Booked for job:Nguyễn Thanh Trâm
Bottom two:Võ Minh Toại & Vio Hồ
Eliminated:Vio Hồ
Special guest: Thanh Thanh Huyền, Lưu Nga, Phạm Thoại, Trương Nhã Dinh, Long Chun
Episode 5: Peace before the storm?
First aired 2 July 2023
Winning master class:Nguyễn Ngọc Phương Vy
Winning coach and team:Thu Phương
Booked for job: Bùi Thị Xuân Hạnh & Nguyễn Ngọc Phương Vy
In this episode, the 7 eliminated models were shot a set of between 5 and 8 photos for a furniture brand named Phố Xinh. After that, they had to present their products and photos by themselves. Cẩm Đan, Tuấn Anh & Kim Ngân were deemed the best performer of each team. Despite being scolded by guest judge Naomi Thủy Nguyễn for failing to control her emotions, Cẩm Đan had the best photo, therefore she won the challenge and returned to the competition.
Return:Nguyễn Thị Cẩm Đan
The remaining 8 models were filmed a 90-second promotional video for Phố Xinh furniture brand. Each team wrote their own script and cast their roles in the settings and locations, before having 1 hour to film (All three teams were required to do it at the same time). While Tuấn Ngọc & Hương Liên were chosen by the brand, team Anh Thư won the challenge. Tuấn Ngọc, despite having booked for job, was nominated to protect his teammates. Team Thu Phương, on the other hand, nominated Xuân Hạnh because they thought Phương Vy would be in the darkroom. Anh Thư was angered by Tuấn Ngọc's appearance in the darkroom, therefore she called Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu. She even forced them to sacrifice one of them if they wanted Tuấn Ngọc to stay. After an intense argument between the three mentors and producer Trang Lê, Anh Thư temporarily spared the nominees and gave the other mentors 10 minutes to reconsider their nominations. Since the mentors did not change their nominees (especially Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu did not care), Anh Thư ultimately eliminated Tuấn Ngọc, although she acknowledged that he was a strong contender.

Booked for job:Nguyễn Hương Liên & Phạm Tuấn Ngọc

Eliminated:Phạm Tuấn Ngọc
