I have a file copy of that Dean and went after the original yesterday. Came up short. I was in a rush after just signing up to bid as I was unaware of Hunts auction. I'm halfway through a painting of that image--not sure I'll ever finish it.
On subject of makeup, It was quite common for folks to wear some eye &/or cheek enhancements for studio portraits in 1950 and earlier. Dean does have some liner applied to his lower eyelid and some powder on his face for glare reduction.
