She looks great.
Obvious smooth high quality face textures.
One pet peeve I have with some hairstyles is those bent irregular ending hairs that really stand out in closeups.
As such, one of the things I look for in a hairstyle is smooth transition all the way to the end of the hairs.
This is not to say that a hairstyle has to be straight hair to meet my requirements; I use some curly hairstyles as long as they don't have bent ends.
Here's a link to a bunch of different hairstyles that I considered when selecting a style for an oriental character I was working on at the time:

I'm currently using the Arterton style on Amber which is included in KS Hairdos:
Here, Lydia is actually just wearing the Bloodrayne wig from the Apachii Divine Elegance Store. It certainly didn't look great from far away, but the blocky look is definitely there when close up. Regardless, I liked the general effect. But I understand what you mean. I think Amber looks great with that hairstyle - it's short enough to avoid most clipping issues and the ends are nicely tapered.
My criteria for the ideal hairstyle (which I have yet to find hahaa) goes something like this:
1. Medium length hair that does not clip with armor, circlets or jewelry. Obviously this is also dependent on the armor, circlets and jewelry.
2. Should not cover too much of her face.
3. Should not hang down in her eyes and I don't like excessive bangs that cover the eyebrows.
4. Should cover most of the ugly ears but allows earrings to be visible.
5. I like ponytails but they should not clip with cloaks/capes.
I often compromise on these requirements but at a minimum.
I have several hair mods installed: Apachii, KS Hairdos, SG Hair Pack 350 and saLa Hair; if I could only use one it would probably be KS Hairdos.
