Ok, Now i have read a bunch of forums & been to other sites where they have talked about retouching & using dodge, burn, patch, & spot healing tool. But does it take more then just photoshop to get the best results?

Like a model with foundation on there skin is bound to get better results right?

Whats the best way to have even skin blending, but still keep that skin pore texture?

#PleaseHelp !!

Of course not! Photoshop is the answer to everything!


/sarcasm

But seriously, of course - model with good skin, decent lighting, MUA, stylist, hair-stylist.... the list goes on. And on...

From the FAQ of this very same forum:

Start with a model with great skin, use a great makeup artist, and you’ll cut down your retouching tremendously while getting better results. 

Once that's done...

I'll give you my own version of the other part:
