so that eyeshadow...

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry for hijacking the thread; I've been meaning to ask F!S for a couple of weeks and never gathering enough courage...

So what *was* the reason for the purple eyeshadow?? Green, I would have thought it was, well, natural shadows, like how your eyelids bruise from blinking during the day and end in dark rings when you keep going too long. But purple??? Is that just an unfortunate decision from the make up/costuming team, or is there an in universe explanation?

/random anon that has only watched a couple of episodes so far

I think it's a contouring thing, meant to "change" the shape of his eye area to follow the shape of the eyebrows a bit more. The color varies from blue to purple to grey, depending on the episode (and remastering affects the color balance as well). I think it's particularly interesting, as Nimoy's eyelids turn down so distinctively, the eyeshadow shading seems to complete a triangle shape on his temples with the eyebrows. So yeah, I think it's just to make him look more alien.

Additionally, know that in this era, tv makeup had a bit more in common with stage makeup, because of the lighting methods used in production. And they also had to consider that a significant percentage of the viewership was watching in B&W. Which is why Spock doesn't have the red skintone they originally intended: in B&W he looked either demonic or like he was in blackface. (Also the time/budget issues of painting him up every day.)
