Sandy 1
Makeup
Throughout most of the film, Sandy looks very sweet and innocent. She has very fresh, dewy skin with lots of rosy blush to give her that youthful and girly look. It looks like the foundation used was very dewy and that not much powder was used to mattify the skin, apart from possibly under the eyes. I think a cream blush and possibly cream highlight was used to give her that glossy/wet look on the cheeks. Her eyebrows have been very lightly filled in to match the low lights in her hair to softly frame the face. Her eyes look very minimalist, with possibly just a bit of a grey toned brown through the crease and brushed lightly over the lid, and along the lower lash line to define her eyes. It looks light there is a very light coat of mascara on her top eyelashes and then her bottom eyelashes were possibly left bare. I think there is some white in her waterline to get her that 'wide awake' and puppy eyed look. A very natural glossy colour has been used on the lips to keep with that very youthful look.

Sandy's hair very always very neat and tied off her face. In the majority of her looks she has a short, straight cut fringe which I think adds a youthful and girly touch to her look. In the image below, she has her fringe swept to the side, however this is the scene just before her Pink Ladies makeover so I think that is a little hint at what was to come. Her most common hair style is where she has half her hair tied up in a high ponytail and then the rest down and curled outwards at the bottom; I think this hair style is very fun and girly to suit her innocent image at that time. She wears coloured ribbons and hair clips in her hair which she colour coordinated to match her outfits, making her look very put together and neat looking.

Styling
She is always seen wearing flared dresses or skirts, never tight dresses or trousers, to show how girly and youthful she is. I noticed that the girls that were seen to be more daring and sexy in the film would wear very dark or intense colours to represent how they were more mysterious and powerful; however Sandy would always wear very light and pastel colours to represent her innocence. She is always tied in at the waist to give her that hourglass figure that was very popular in the 1950s. Her outfits were very classy too, she n would never show too much skin or cleavage, until the more risqué characters.
Sandy 2
Makeup
At the end of the film the Pink Ladies give innocent Sandy a makeover so that she can impress Danny and show him that she can be sexy and fiery when she wants to be. Her skin isn't as dewy as before, so I think a more matte foundation would have been used and set with powder; however I do think that some highlighter has been used on the tops of her cheekbones. She isn't wearing as much blush as before and the product placement has changed from the apples of her cheeks to just under her cheekbones to give her face a more mature, sculpted look. Her eyebrows have been filled in with a much darker shade to balance out the heavy eye and lip makeup. Black eyeshadow has been used just through the crease of her eyes and along the lower lash line to make her eyes really stand out, and then it looks like a light grey shade has been used on her eyelids. I think a very small winged liner has been used as in some images you can see a black flick at the side of her eye; this may have been eyeliner or black eye shadow. Her brow bone looks very bright, so I think a white eyeshadow was used to make them stand out. I can't see clearly from the images, but I assume that some form of fake eyelashes were used to further intensify the dark, seductive look. She wears a glossy red lip in her final look as red lips were very popular in the 1950s and seen as very sexy, yet glamourous.
Hair
Before Sandy's makeover, her hair was always very slick and neat, but after her makeover her hair is a lot more relaxed and messy looking which I think represents her more wild side coming out. Her hair has been curled/permed all over to give it body and texture; it looks like it may have been back combed and hair sprayed to give it more volume. I think it has been curled in different directions as the curls have a messy and relaxed look about them. It looks like it has been clipped back on one side to give it some shape and style.

Style
She wears a very daring all black, skin tight outfit for her transformation. She had never worn black in the film before or anything so tight so it was a big shock for the audience to see her in such a dramaticly different outfit! It was also a shock to see her smoking as only the characters seen as rebellious were seen with a cigarette. The fact that her shoulders are bare shows she has become more confident and feels more sexy. She is wearing red heels, higher than we have seen her in before, to match her red lips, and I think the red represents her new fiery and powerful image. She had only been seen in flared skirts so her legs had never been on show, so her black shiny 'pants' create a striking and memorable contrast to her previously girly and youthful appearance.
