Entranced by Cameron Diaz’s glowing summer make-up in the new Vogue July 2010 issue, VOGUE.COM spoke to the make-up artist behind the look, Revlon global creative director Gucci Westman, to find out what it was like working with the Hollywood actress and get Westman’s expert advice on achieving “ageless” beauty.

How was it working with Cameron, have you worked together before?
I’ve been working with her for 15 years. From Being John Malkovich to the Oscars, Golden Globes and covers of Vogue, W, TV shows etcetera…lots. She’s a dear friend; we know each other very well.

Talk us through the creative process – did you go to the shoot with a clear vision in mind?
I didn’t know what we were doing until we got to the location, saw the clothes, chatted with Kate [Phelan], and then it all came together. You have to see the clothes really to know what to do.

How can we recreate Cameron’s make-up look at home?
It was a quite natural, but sun-kissed look. We wanted it to just look effortless and cool, and just an enhanced version of Cameron by the beach. The skin is glowing, and slightly warmed up a bit. I’d use Revlon Photo Ready Foundation; a cream blush in a peach tone; my new summer Revlon quad on the eyes with the brown blended up toward the socket and some black kohl liner dug close to the lashes. Then a little lip stain finished with Revlon gloss in coral or sheer red.

Cameron’s problems with acne have been well-documented. What’s your advice for camouflaging acne scarring?
Only cover specific spots with concealer; use a small-headed brush and a few different concealer shades to really focus on matching your skin so it doesn’t look like a grey or white bump. Too much foundation or powder is not a good idea for acne, it draws attention to it more than anything; you want to keep your skin looking luminous and fresh. Avoid powdery textures, use cream cheek colour if you can. I think you can wear make-up, definitely lip colour, eyes, but less foundation, and very little powder or none if you can.

The Vogue July issue is about ageless style and beauty – What’s your top tip on looking “ageless”?
Focus on making your skin look as luminous and radiant as possible, I suggest incorporating exfoliants into your beauty regime, in the shower or whenever is the easiest time-wise. Lips, bold colours can look very youthful and fresh. I find pearly finishes – although popular with more mature women – very ageing, but matte or sheer textures are very nice.

ComingSoon.net attended the a press conference with the Shrek Forever After voice cast, including Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, Walt Dohrn, John Hamm and Craig Robinson. The event was moderated by Ryan Seacrest who asked the first few questions and then opened it up to the journalists.

In the final chapter, Shrek is overwhelmed by his domestic responsibilities. While he loves being a father and husband, the stress of it all is getting to him and he wants just one day to feel like the ogre he once was – when everyone was scared of him instead of being the local celebrity he is now. Rumpelstiltskin (Dohrn) approaches Shrek, tricking him into signing a contract that will give Shrek what he wants, but in return he must give something up – the day he was born. Not realizing he was being duped, he agrees to the terms and finds himself in an alternative universe where Fiona doesn’t know who he is and the life he once knew no longer exists. Shrek has just one day to undo what he did and restore the world he really loves.

Ryan Seacrest: Mike, looking back over the “Shrek” movies, what’s been one of your favorite moments over the last 10 years?
Mike Myers: When Jeffrey [Katzenberg] said would you like to be in an animated movie, I said, “Yes.” He said, “It’s a movie called ‘Shrek’.” I said, “That’s the worst title I’ve ever heard in my life. I didn’t know it was going to be. The first time I saw it with an audience the line, “But you are beautiful to me,” got gasps. People were so into the whole romance and the whole heart of it that I was just blown away. It was something that people could be invested in and I think that’s been the most satisfying thing for me.

Seacrest: Eddie, what’s been the secret to success to “Shrek”?
Eddie Murphy: I think it’s funny and very well made.
Myers: Hold on – I just went on for 15 minutes. I wish I’d just done that.
Murphy: I think it’s that simple. It’s really well made. It’s very funny. It’s smart and those things add up to a hit sometimes.

Seacrest: Cameron, the emotion of this one goes back to the roots of the first one a little bit doesn’t it?
Cameron Diaz: Yeah. I think you get to see true love happen all over again for the first time between Shrek and Fiona because they get to find one another. It’s the moment that you’re talking about – your favorite moment from the first movie that you get to experience all over again. You get to take that journey with them of finding that love again. You open up on them in the routine of a life that they’ve taken for granted – Shrek has for sure and then you get to see him journey back through trying to regain finding his true love. You get to fall in love with Shrek and Fiona all over again.

Seacrest: Walt, how long did it take you to come up with the devious voice of Rumplestiltskin?
Walt Dohrn: As I was walking in here, I thought security was going to grab me. We worked on the voice for a year not knowing that I would be cast. Once I got cast, we really started trying to push it as best we could.

Seacrest: Antonio, how much fun have you had making these movies?
Antonio Banderas: A lot actually. And I expected, because I came to this country without speaking the language, then I found they called me to use my voice very surprising. Fun, every time at recording sessions. And still do. I had a lot of fun. And also memories. I remember when we opened at the Cannes Film Festival, it is happening right now, actually, and the you see the [entire representation] of Europe in the movie theatre, and interrupting the movie twelve times. It was a kind of outstanding to me, you know, a beautiful moment we have. And promotion, in around the world.

Seacrest: How did you get the role of Brogan?
Jon Hamm: Wow! I don’t know. I don’t know why the character I play on TV would lend itself to be the first choice to be an animated character. I honestly don’t know and I can’t believe I’m sitting here. When it came my way they were still trying to figure out what I was going to be – a love interest or a rival. They weren’t sure, but I was just like, “I don’t care. I just want to be a part of this.” I’ve loved the last three versions of this and went and saw all of them in the theater like I was a 13-year-old. The pure fan in me was like, I’ll go play somebody who talks backwards, on top of his head and turns around. I don’t even care. The fact that they were able to work with me and my personality to create this person who is sort of this cheerleader of sorts was fun to do.

Here’s a video of Cameron looking stunning as always at the ‘Shrek Forever After’ Premiere on April 21st.

‘You know people ask me about it all the time. I would love to do it,’ the Natalie Cook of the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ series responds when asked about doing the third ‘Angels’ film.

Having a number of future projects lining-up in front of her apparently doesn’t stop Cameron Diaz to do another “Charlie’s Angels” movie should the third one is being developed. The Natalie Cook of the action-comedy franchise fessed up about her willingness in an interview with MTV News while promoting “The Box”.

Adam Levine is set to write a song about Cameron Diaz.

The Maroon 5 singer – who has been photographed enjoying intimate dates with the blonde actress – thinks his best songs are based on his girlfriends.

The 30-year-old musician said: “I tend to be inspired by and write about the relationship I’m in.

“Cameron and I have known each other for a while and have been hanging out.”

If Levine pens a track about Cameron, it won’t be the first time he has written about a lover.

Maroon 5′s hit album ‘Songs About Jane’, which includes the songs ‘She Will Be Loved’ and ‘Sunday Morning’, was written about his ex-girlfriend.

Cameron – who split from British model Paul Sculfor earlier this year – recently revealed she is scared of settling down and getting married.

The 36-year-old actress said: “I’m a commitment-phobe! It’s about being in the right position, the right place and the right time. I don’t want to get married. I just want to catch the bouquet – I have a collection of bouquets!”

Last month, it was reported Cameron had introduced Adam to her mother over lunch.
