This is a typical haircut for a man in the 1950's. His hair is slicked back with a lot of gel to create an overall neat-looking hairstyle.
This hairstyle makes the man look very good mannered, and not corrupt, however, it also has a hint of bad to it, it depends in what context it is put in which is what is good about this hairstyle, it can be used for different types of characters.
I will be inspired by this design because it perfectly represents a man from the 1950's and thus something inspired by this look will enhance the character and the play as a whole. I will definetely have the guys in our play use gel for their hair since it is used so much during this time period, also, almost all the men had their hair short and slicked back with gel (sometimes with a little pouf like this). Through this research I am more sure about what kind of hair to design for the men in our play.

I will use this picture as an inspiration because it shows a similar character that we have and the hair and make-up go paired very well together to show this character. Immediately the audience can infer what type of character she is throught her hair and make-up which is also my intention. The hair once again is volumnous and big and wavy, and the make-up is made up of darker colors.
This piece of research has helped me with my final design since now I have yet another good combination of hair and make-up that I could do something similar to for my final design.

These two designs are very influential on my final design because the female represents a good girl and the hair and make-up go well together as a combo to represent this. Also, because we have a character that is similar to her and this combo or something similar would be very good for our perfomance. The man in this picture is also something I want to incorporate into my final design because he looks like a typical 1950's guy and could be considered bad or good depending on what he is wearing and what he is like. This picture is very helpful for my final designs because I now know that I can use quite dark eye make-up for a lighter color palette and still make the girl look like she is not corrupt, as well as knowing two more hairstyles and thus producing more ideas for how I can design the hair and make-up for the characters in our play.
