Get the Look: Gabrielle Union at the 4th Annual ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon

The women at the 4th Annual ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon at the were looking lovely and like such ladies; it was a pleasure to view the photos.  My stand-out favorite beauty of the day was Gabrielle Union.  I loved her old style Hollywood glam look—replete with waves and red lips to boot.

I guess I am particularly smitten with this look because this happens to be my signature look—clean eyes with liner, defined brows, flushed cheeks, and red lips.
