Photoshop - Editing the woman's face

On Photoshop today, I'll be editing a females face so that it looks "perfect" which means I'll be getting rid of any spots, birthmarks, facial flaws (e.g. Crows feet or bags) and shine on her face. This will make her look more like the rest of the females/models on the front cover of a magazine.

The first thing I had to do was gather a picture of a woman from the internet and then download it; dragging it onto my desktop and opening the image with Photoshop. Once the picture of the woman had opened in Photoshop, I began to edit her face by removing spots and moles/birthmarks with the eraser tool; using the option that says "Spot Healing Brush Tool".

After the spots and marks were removed, I then followed on to blur the picture to make the skin look softer and for it to have less shine. When I'd finished blurring the image, I erased out the bits I needed to in order to make the picture still seem real. The bits I erased were the eyes, mouth, the outline of the nose, the outline of the face and the eyebrows. Now the woman is starting to look more flawless and "perfect".

Once I'd done this, I was free to edit more and change anything I wanted about her. Her hair, eye colour, lip colour etc. So I created a new layer and set the layers settings to multiply and used the paint tool to colour over the hair carefully; making sure not to go over it too much as it would ruin the picture. When finishing this, I created yet another layer and decided to add make up onto her. On this layer, I put the setting onto overlay and then selected a brown and went over the eyes with it and then selected a different brown; going over the eyelids. And then choosing a colour a bit lighter than the original colour of her lips, going over it once more. After doing this, I'd finished my editing and then saved the picture.
