Martita Hunt as Miss Havisham
The messy hair at the top shows the 'madness' of Miss Havisham's character and I like this 1946 version as it is in black and white film which creates a more mystery effects.

Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham
This version is similar to the 1946 as the use of big messy hair, bridal veils attached on the head. The brown eye shadow helps to darken the hollows on the eyes which gives a more tired and ageing effects to the character.

Charlotte Rampling as Miss Havisham
This version of Miss Havisham is a bit different to other versions as Miss Havisham has brown hair and she look quite young in this version. Tight curls was used on each side of the head  and a crown was decorated on the head.

Gillian Anderson as Miss Havisham
The pale complexion, dry split lips were used on the makeup look. I think the way the makeup artist uses brown colour eye shadow is for darken the hollows on the eyes to give a tired, aging effects. Middle parting was used, loose curls on the side and the hair was a little bit messy to show the 'madness' of Miss Havisham's character.

Sian Philips as Miss Havisham
Middle parting, loose curls and on the top of the hair is messy which presents the 'madness' of Miss Havisham. The use of dark colour eye shadow gives gothic features to the character and the wrinkles on her face shows an old interpretations of Miss Havisham. Pale complexion is also seen in here.

Paula Wilcox as Miss Havisham
I think the makeup that Paula Wilcox was wearing is like a more modern interpretation of  Miss Havisham as the use of dark colour lips, strong eye shadow, pale complexion and I think it emphasizes the gothic feathers of the character and also shows the lifestyles of Miss Havisham ( how she lived without sunlight, didn't eat much, maybe also about the hygiene and skin problems of her as well). The strong contouring helps to show the way she described by Pip as a 'skeleton'. Center parting and arranged with loose ringlets were used.
