Amy Adams's Beauty Secrets
by Elizabeth Siegel
The July issue of Allure is on newsstands now, and our cover girl, Amy Adams, knows a thing or two about beauty. She told her favorite products, the coolest beauty trick she's picked up on set, and her secret to the perfect shave to writer Judith Newman.
Adams is a fan of La Mer (who isn't?): "I have extremely dry skin, and La Mer has fixed some bad problems."

Her favorite fragrance is a clean-smelling floral: "I'm wearing Eau de Lacoste. I've been working with them [she is a spokesperson for the fragrance], and I actually really love it."
Her biggest hair mistake: "A perm in the eighth grade. I wanted to look like Kelly McGillis. I was never going to be in 'Take My Breath Away' with Tom Cruise."

The best beauty trick she's learned on set: "Deb Lippmann soaks individual cotton balls in nail-polish remover and sets them on your nails. And it just pulls all the red off superfast."
Her best skin-care trick (it's not at all what you'd expect): "I can't wax because bad things happen. So I shave. I use Eucerin Calming Body Wash instead of shaving cream, and I don't get razor burn anymore. It's not its intended use, but I want to keep talking about it, because I'm afraid they'll discontinue it."
Her biggest food craving: "Nachos. I want chips, I want cheese, I want beans, I want beef, I want jalapeños."
