Looking at the research I have done and how those characters are represented through make-up and hair I have created a written draft of the final designs:
Quinty
Character #1 (good character)
Light pastel colors
Lips=peachy color
cheeks=rosy color
foundation=thick natural skin color layer
Eyelids=light brown
eyeliner=minimal brown color
mascara=thin black
hair=front parts are pinned up with bobby pins or hair clips, the hair is wavy and volumnous but out of the face

Character #2 (corrupt character)
Dark colors
Lips=Dark red
Eyelids=dark purple (plum) color
Eyeliner=dark thick black
mascara=thick black lashes
Hair= loose, volumnous wavy/curly hair that complements the make-up and all together makes the character look corrupt.
Sarah
Character #1 (corrupt character)
Dark colors
Lips=dark plum
Eyelids=dark purple
Eyeliner=dark thick black
Mascara=thick black lashes
Hair=loose straight hair

Character #2 (good character)
Neutral colors
Lips=pastel pink
Foundation=thick skin color layer of foundation
eyelids=light brown
eyeliner=minimal light brown
mascara=light thin black
hair=front piece pinned up (like a pouf but the hair is flat on the head)
Robin
Character #1 (as the brother)
foundation=full face foundation (skin color)
sideburns= thick black
Hair=a lot of gel, slick the sides back, front part should lift off of head a bit, should clearly be able to see the gel

Character #2 (whitness)
foundation=full face foundation (skin color)
sideburns=thick black
hair=all slicked back with gel (all flat against head)
Saif
character #1 (corrupt policeman)
foundation=full face foundation (skin color)
sideburns=medium thick black sideburns
hair=side part kind of wavy with gel

Character #2 (Judge)
foundation=full face foundation (skin color)
sideburns=medium thick black sideburns
hair=fully slicked back against head with gel
This is the draft of the final make-up designs (written). I have made these decisions based on what the characters of the play are like, and on what many people from the 1950's looked like depending on their character. There are a few problems with these designs but those will be dealt with as I continue in my process of designing.
