To get a little treatment from the glam squad, Salma Hayek doesn't have to travel far from home.

Actually, she doesn't even have to leave home, because while she regularly relies on the services of some of Hollywood's finest celebrity makeup artist, it turns out that her eight-year-old daughter is often responsible for the actress' glowing good looks.

"[Valentina] is so good with makeup. So, so good that I have an assistant that sometimes asks her to do her makeup before she goes out," the actress told E! News at the Nuance cosmetics line re-launch with CVS. "She's done my makeup, and she's really, really good! I have the opportunity to work with great makeup artists and she's watching them like a hawk. She's actually talented with it."

The 49-year-old also admits that it isn't just makeup that her talented daughter excels at—it's also manicures (and apparently, also salon-savvy business skills).

"She's developed a stand outside of her room where you can get manicures and she charges you," Salma said. "It's permanently there so anybody that comes to the house to visit or for a fitting she asks, do you want a manicure? She's actually quite good!"

Oh, and Salma didn't just dish on her glam-gifted daughter—she also opened about her husband, French businessman François-Henri Pinault, and what he did to blow her away on her birthday (hint, hint: it's a tasty surprise).
