There's a page of notes in the front of the "Journey to Babel" script, presumably written by Fontana, as it sounds like her. This is what it says:

Quote:

MAKEUP-COSTUME NOTE

Regarding Aliens:

SAREK and all Vulcans will have established Vulcan makeup. They will not have ceremonial costumes, as depicted in "AMOK TIME”. Their clothes should look functional and practical, with the possible exception of Sarek's costume for the dining room sequence. Consider having Sarek wear some sort of "badge of state” at all times,

GAV - the Tellarite is short somewhat thick-bodied. Tellar is a savagely cold planet, and Gav's humanoid body is thickly matted with fur. We will not see much of this, as he is well covered with special clothes which have cold circuits built in for comfort. Gav has an almost human face: but his brows and hair line are especially bushy, and he has a beard and moustache to match. His nose, however, is wide and almost square at the end… almost a snout.

SHRAS and THELEV - Andorians. They are humanoids, tall and quite slim. If at all possible. the ears will be played down (taped back?), but there are two delicately tapered antenae curling from the head. Despite their almost fragile bodies. Andorians are a fierce warrior breed. Their dress indicates this to some extent, and will include a vicious looking bladed weapon...which is carried for use and not ceremony. Andorians are pale blue.
Because.

Very cool piece of Trek history to read. Thank you for providing it Maurice.

By the time they could do Star Trek: Enterprise (2001~2005) the sophisticated makeup allowed the Andorians antennas to move on the actor's heads.
