How I imagine Miss Havisham on screen

'She was dressed in rich materials - satins, and lace, and silks - all of white. Her shoes were white. And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay sparkling on the table. Dresses, less splendid than the dress she wore, and half-packed trunks, were scattered about. She had not quite finished dressing, for she had but one shoe on - the other was on the table near her hand - her veil was but half arranged, her watch and chain were not put on, and some lace for her bosom lay with those trinkets, and with her handkerchief, and gloves, and some flowers, and a prayer-book, all confusedly heaped about the looking-glass.
It was not in the first few moments that I saw all these things, though I saw more of them in the first moments than might be supposed. But, I saw that everything within my view which ought to be white, had been white long ago, and had lost its lustre, and was faded and yellow. I saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered like the dress, and like the flowers, and had no brightness left but the brightness of her sunken eyes. I saw that the dress had been put upon the rounded figure of a young woman, and that the figure upon which it now hung loose, had shrunk to skin and bone. Once, I had been taken to see some ghastly waxwork at the Fair, representing I know not what impossible personage lying in state. Once, I had been taken to one of our old marsh churches to see a skeleton in the ashes of a rich dress, that had been dug out of a vault under the church pavement. Now, waxwork and skeleton seemed to have dark eyes that moved and looked at me. I should have cried out, if I could.'

After reading the book 'Great Expectation' By Charles Dickens The way Miss Havisha was described I would put her on screen as;

old lady with pale white skin as is if she was a ghost almost spooky and unreal, with dark circle as if she has never slept once and dark daunting eyes as if she was not even alive, a woman who suffers from anorexia who has not even eaten in days with sunken in cheeks as if she did not have any flesh left on her her face almost like a skeleton. White hair that was not take care with a birds nest since she never changed her outfit as if she is the ghost of the past. Her outfit has turned from a being this beautiful white to a dirty yellow by all the body odor collected and on the dress and the dirt and dust around her house changing the colour of her dress. Her skin dry flaky and almost looking like as she has never washed or done anything with herself since she was left at the alter.

Miss Havisham's Makeup
For miss Havisham I would make her pale as a ghost as if she had no colour in her skin, contour the cheeks to make them looked sunken in, add some dark circles under her eyes that are almost red and purple from the lack of sleep and stress she has gone through, I would definitely age the skin  and also make her skin look dry and flaky as if she had not exfoliated in many years and her ips would darken as if there is no blood flow in her lips.

Her hair would be a dropped down Victorian hairstyle adding a birds nest showing that she has never touched her hair since the wedding that was suppose to happen.
