With her striking looks and dazzling smile, Cameron Diaz is often hailed as a beauty icon - so it comes as no surprise that her fellow A-listers turn to her for make-up advice. Gwyneth Paltrow recently confessed that she sees the 43-year-old as her "beauty mentor", adding that she has been asking the actress for her tips for years.

Gwyneth Paltrow described Cameron Diaz as her "beauty mentor"

"Cameron Diaz is probably my biggest beauty mentor of my friends," the mother-of-two told Elle. "She knows how to do her own hair and make-up."

Gwyneth also credits Cameron for having shared her best beauty secrets when the pair were still starting out in the world of Hollywood – tips which the Goop entrepreneur still follows to this day.

"And she was the one who really taught me how to do my own hair and make-up back in the day so she's my biggest beauty mentor," the Iron Man 3 actress said. "There are lots of tips – I can't remember them off the top of my head."

It's not just her friends who are in awe of Cameron's radiant complexion. The Bad Teacher actress caused a stir on social media when she gave her 1.9 million Instagram followers a sneak peek of the cover of her book The Longevity Book, for which she opted to go completely make-up free.

The striking image sees a close-up of the blonde beauty looking as fresh-faced as ever, her famous blonde locks swept back to show off her healthy and glowing skin.

"HELLO Again, Ladies! I am so excited I can barely contain myself!! As soon as I saw it myself, I wanted to share with you the cover of THE LONGEVITY BOOK," Cameron wrote in the snap's accompanying caption. "I am so proud of this book and very much looking forward to engaging us all in a new conversation about aging–how to do it with strength, grace, health and wisdom."

Having previously asked women around the world to submit their no make-up selfies ahead of the book's launch, Cameron also took the opportunity to thank her followers for their enthusiasm for the project.

"I also wanted to thank you again for your beautiful submissions, which we’ll eventually get to show you as part of the cover beyond the cover; a perfect representation of women standing beside other women, as a united front, to stage change and incite progress. I can’t wait until hard copies hit the stands in April so we can really get started!! #thelongevitybook #theprivilegeoftime @thebodybook ox, Cameron."
