This year I watched the Oscar Red Carpet coverage with quite the motley crew.
Me, Nick, Christian, My dad & my 13-year-old nephew, Brook.
I know but, it sounds much worse than it was. They got into it. They ate candy, gave their best critiques and man crushed on George Clooney, what more could I ask for?
These are the looks that stood out the most to me and my prestigious panel of judges:
Adele. You. Are. Killing. Me.
FLAWLESS. Nude…Red? Choose your pleasure, she does them both like nobody’s business. Don’t even get me started on her contouring. Her hair was gorgeous too, side part and big full waves.
Reese Witherspoon Ala Hollywood Glamour
I could not believe how beautiful Reese looked. Her makeup was so fresh and beautiful and her HAIR. Oh her hair.
Jennifer Lawrence. Championing the chignon bun.
Question..HOW DO YOU SAY THAT? I’ve never known, so in my head I read it cling-on (like the star trek guys). Someone save me.
I had to go upstairs and put my hair up just like hers the minute the Oscars were over. I also loved her makeup, smokey lid and a mauve lip, very classic.
All of this begs the question…which of these should be recreated in a tutorial???
Reese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Love, love, love your blog! You have changed my life now that I HAC almost every day. If you ask me I would love the Adele tutorial. I thought she looked so beautiful.
I love love love your blog! It definitely has to be Adele! All three were beautiful but (to me) she really stood out!!
Thank you for doing an Oscar post. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a tutorial on Reese’s hair and makeup. It was by far my fav look of the oscars and I am getting married this summer and am tempted to do my hair this way. THANK YOU! I follow you and love all your tips and LOVE your links to amazon. This amazon prime member has definitely added more makeup purchases since I have been following you.
Mmandl are doing a Jennifer tutorial- so I vote for Reese. Or you guys could have a “tutorial off”???
also, chignon is French, which I happen to speak and it’s pronounced “she-non”… Now that I try, it’s hard to write out phonetically…. The “non” sound doesn’t really come up in English…. Any chance you know how to say No in French? Cause that would be it… “She-non”… Well, I do love this word… Google might pronounce it for you cause obviously no help!
i was thinking the exact same thing! haha love mmandl
Kind of like Filet Mignon?
That’s how I always assumed it should sound.
My vote is for Jennifer Lawrence! Can you do the hair too?
Chignon: It should sound more like “she-nion”!
J.law!!!
Ahhh they are all so beautiful! I think my vote would probably be for Reese’s hair and makeup though, so pretty! (:
My vote is for Jennifer Lawrence, she is such a beauty! xxx

Jennifer Lawerance!! love her look
Reese please!
All of them!!
Reese’s hair is phenomenal! She just looks fresh faced & beautiful! That’s my vote!
oh if i see a cool hair ‘do i always have to run to my bathrm and try it too. lol p.s. ive been practicing your HACing for months now and i had it all down pretty well except the nose area was just never quite right…however it all clicked for me today! as someone with a rather large nose (my grama and mom also have it and “lovingly” refer to it as bozo nose) it feels great!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Do them all! Please do them ALL!!!!
But if you only do one I say Reese!!!! She did look amazing! I would LOOOOOOVE to learn how to do her makeup AND hair!!! You’re the best Cara!!! 
Reese! Thanks as always
Adele!!!!! When I close-up on Reese I see how pretty the makeup was, but man oh man Adele wowed me from afar. Those lids!! That hair!!!! Plus I just flipping love her guts lol, she’s amazing. Not that Reese isn’t but she had her Oscar year already, let’s honour Adele for hers! I liked JLaw’s too but I feel like it’s not too hard to recreate her look or a very similar one.
Ps oops, wrong spot haha :S
Adele! Very Bridget Bardot, retro…want to know how to do that!
Chignon!!!!
I vote Reese
She looked absolutely stunning!
JENNIFER LAWRENCE!!! Pretty please???
do an adele or jennifer lawrence. that skyfall performance was so beautiful… and j-law’s back necklace was gorgeoussssssss
Reese please please please!
Are you crazy? ALL OF THEM
Reese’s hair FOR SURE!! Her’s is the same style as Jessica Chastains was, but executed MUCH better. Stunning.
Reese please! I love her makeup in general. She always looks great but not over done.
Jennifer Lawrence!!!!
All of them
the jennifer lawrence bun!!!!
Please teach us how to get Jennifer Lawrence’s look!! Hair and makeup both! Dying to know how to get the hair!
i’m greedy! Do them all!
Adele!
Jennifer!!!
ALL OF THEM!
I would love to see you do Reese’s hairdo and makeup! She looked sooo classy and natural!
I’d love to see Jennifer’s hair!
Adele – nude lip, please, please pretty please?
Cara, girl I am so counting on you to figure out Reese’s amazing do and then teach us!
Love ya and your fabulous blog.
xx
Adele! I’m still trying to find the perfect nude lip:)
ADELE!!!!!!! I also am trying to find the perfect nude lip and I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVED her look in the nude lip. her whole look really NEEDS to be recreated don’t you think?
I mean really, dontcha?
I think you should do the Adele with the nude lip and red lip. It seems like she kept the same eye makeup and just changed up her lip color. She looked so amazing on Sunday!
why choose?! do ALL 3 tutorials! lol and its pronounnced ˈshēn-ˌyän (G is silent)
Reese!!! she always looks so classic and timeless and her makeup looks great with her hair so us blondies would appreciate it
I would kill for the Reese Witherspoon…She is so girl-next-door and classy
REESE!
so beautiful, and a look for anyone to wear!
ADELE! The other ones are pretty but boring!
With spring and summer on there way I vote for a Reese tutorial. Fresh and springy. Love the blog. I’ve been stalking for awhile now.
I would really, really LOVE if you could do a tutorial for Reese’s hair and a HAC tutorial for fair skin with dark hair. I know you did one for fair skin a little while ago. But I feel like with my very dark hair and pale winter skin (no joke, i’m like casper the friendly ghost), it’s a whole other ballgame. PRETTY PRETTY please!
Jennifer!
Please choose Adele’s look with the natural lipstick, pretty please!
Can you do all 3 ????Humm,just dreaming:)
reese’s hair!!!
REESE!! hair and makeup((:
Adele’s makeup with Reese or Jenn’s hair please.
Please do a J Law!!! I want to learn to do a chignon (I think it rhymes with filet mignon…?).
I see that everyone is asking for a recreation of Reese – which is what I predicted most of the readers would ask for… but I say be BOLD and go for Adele! She is like no celebrity you have done before and the bold look would be a great switch up! Reese looks gorgeous, but it is a soft glam look that you have done similar things with already… Just a suggestion
I read your blog everyday – long time fan!
Reese!!! I have been waiting for the Hollywood glam tutorial!!!
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chignon Here is the correct pronunciation although I like cling on better! I looked it up a few years ago becauses it was bugging me…that and chambray….LOL…great pics!
Jennifer Lawrence!
Please do the Reese look- I want that big bouncy wave.
Reese…she looked so beautiful!
i love reese”s look, but i think jennifer’s makeup is the best!
Reese or Jennifer for sure!!
All of them!!
I’d really love to see Reeses hair in a tutorial and Jen’s make up!
http://lillymint.wordpress.com/
Agreed!
reese or jennifer
Adele’s hair!!!!!
Reese please!! Its not easy to get those old Hollywood glamour curls to look good, please help!
ALL!!!!
Jennifer or Reese!
Adele please I LOVE her Modern Retro Glam she has going on….so pretty!
Reese! Definitely Reese! Loving the old hollywood look, so cute.
Hi Cara – I was wondering what kind of self tanner you would recommend for fair skin? I am hesitant to go with your fave (Sun Labs) because you seem to have a much more olivey skin tone than I do. Any suggestions? Thanks!
shee-non I think. I want to be able to do Reese’s hair!!!!!!!!!!
jennifer please!!!! hair and makeup if possible! Love your blog!
reese and/or Jennifer Lawrence. Please!!
Reese
Reese, she is stunning!
Adele! The other looks are certainly beautiful but also a little generic? Not bad or anything it’s just Adele seems to always bring a uniqueness to the table.
I love all of them<3 but Adele's nude lip look just stick out to me so much more. Would love a tutorial on her makeup!
Old Hollywood lets see a recreation of Reese!
I vote for Reese! I am obsessed with her hair! I have a Wedding coming up in a couple of weeks and would love to be able to do this hairstyle myself!
Reese’s makeup (because I’m blonde, blue eyes) and Jennifer’s hair!!
Adele!
Reese’s hair and Adele’s makeup! That would be a gorgeous combo!!! LOVE this blog btw
as much as I adore J Law, I want to see a tutorial on reese’s eye makeup. its different!
Choose?!?! Why would you ask such a thing??
I’m loving that bun on Jennifer, but Reese is such a breath of fresh air. Both of these have my vote.
i’ve always wanted to know how to do that nice hollywood glam hair like reese
For me it’s a total draw between Reese and Jenn. I NEED a good tutorial for retro waves on long hair (think waist-length) and a summery look, but I’ve also always wanted to do the chignon and done up night-time look. I say… BOTH!
Reese’s hair! Love that classic old Hollywood glam!
Jennifer Lawrence
She is so beautiful!
I would love to know how to get waves like Reese. Whenever I have heard chignon pronounced it is “shin yawn.” Straight from the mouths of the E! Network.
All three, please!
Agreed, I have always heard it pronounced “shin-yon”. Think a silent ‘g’ like champagne!
My memere spoke French Canadian and French, then english as a third language.
I am guessing that, plus 50years in the south adds a slight drawl to it. Imagine Reese saying it.
