SIGNATURE LOOK: EFFORTLESSLY POLISHED
For her iconic auburn tresses, Adams favors a side part with a soft cascade of Veronica Lake–esque curls. Her makeup is sophisticated and subdued (but never minimal) and tends toward a natural palette. “She’s not big on trends,” says Sollitto. “She prefers to just stay true to who she is.”

BIGGEST RISK OF THE YEAR: BERRY PERSUASION
“Most of the time I focus on Amy’s eyes,” says Sollitto. “But for the BAFTA’s last year I proposed a berry lip, and she loved it. I used a metallic rose on her lids and enough mascara so that her eyes weren't lost compared to her lips. The end result is strong and beautiful without the makeup screaming at us.”

BEST LOOK OF 2014: GLOSSY LIPS & A FULL LASH
“Amy’s features are so perfect and fun to work with that it is hard to choose my favorite look; if I had to, I would say the Palm Springs Film Fest last year,” says Sollitto, who executed a glossy nude lip, abundant lashes and subtly flushed cheeks for the occasion.
