Makeup your photo using photoshop.

In this tutorial we are going to smoothen the surface of the skin and add a glow effect to the image.
Smoothening the skin:

• Open the photograph of anyone whose skin is slightly rough.
  
• Select the brush tool and hit ‘Q’ to turn on masking.
  
• Brush all over the face except the eye, eyebrows and lips.
  
• Hit ‘Q’ again, now the area except the face is selected, hit Ctrl+I to select the face.
  
• Now go to Filter>Blur and click on Gaussian Blur, set the radius to 1.0 and click OK.
  
• Now you can observe the rough surface of the skin is smoothened.

Adding a glow effect:

• Open the photograph.
  
• Unlock the layer and duplicate the layer.
  
• Place the duplicated layer under the original layer.
  
• Apply Guassian Blur to the duplicated layer setting the radius to 4.0.
  
• Set the opacity of the original layer to 60%.
  
• Now you can observe some glow effect on the photograph.
