This is a very good design for representing woman in the 1950's because the hair is just like many woman had it back then: wavy and quite volumnous. The good thing about the hair, is that often you only see the big volumnous waves on loose hair, but here it is shown in a ponytail which is a good thing for our play since there is a change of character about halfway through, which also needs to change the hair, and through having it in a ponytail and then changing it to loose might be a good idea since it shows two different types of characters (because hair can affect the way the audience thinks about a character, or what kind of character the person is in combination with make-up). Often girls with their hair up are considered to be more of the good girls and girls with their hair down more of the bad (depending on the combination with the make-up, but it is often shown in movies that way, Sandy from Grease beginning had her hair up and when bad she had her hair loose). What I like about the make-up of this design is that it is quite dark but does not make her look emo or goth, which is what I intend to do in our play as well for the woman that are corrupt. Also, the make-up looks very sophisticated but not over-done, whilst if you closely look at it, it is very simple and not that hard to do.This hair style and make-up design is a good idea for my final design or to do something similar to this for my final design since it is able to show a certain character well.

This is a bad character from a movie in the 1950's. Again, the hair is volumnous and wavy and the hairstyle enhaces her character as well (in combination with the make-up). The make-up is dark and layered quite thick which gives the desired effect of making her look like a bad girl.
I will be inspired by this picture for the corrupt female characters in our play because this perfectly represents a bad female from the 1950's. My thoughts on the dark make-up scheme were similar to what this character represents (dark red and black colors) and thus this picture is a rough representation of what I was thinking about of designing.
