It's a combo of...

1.  Really goodlooking people.
2.  Million dollar make up artists.
3.  Soft diffused lighting. (you can pretty much gaurantee that there's a whole lot of reflectors around her...and at least one gold reflector)
4.  Soft focus filters.  Soft focus is NOT the same as slightly out of focus.
5.  Post production tricks.

Hahaha, easy... I was kidding around. As in "I can't concentrate on what you're asking because the picture is too sexy".

But yeah, makeup, soft-lighting, those filters that smooth out wrinkles, and some after-the-fact airbrushing -- to answer your question.

I'd have to say it's mostly lighting and airbrushing... know how to do that, and you can use a webcam to produce great images!  Well, maybe not a webcam... but you get the picture... pun intended...
