    Just trial and error, there are tons of picture enhancing effect tuts out there, even on youtube, type in photoshop tut and you can see heaps good tutorials.

    Gaussian Blur (Fade 50%) > Sharpen (Fade 50%) is a nice effect i quite like

    alot of the pro photoshop stuff u see online are done by ppl who wouldve spend quiet some time detailing things inch by inch... their arent really much quick photoshop buttons to make it all work. so yeh

    u can try this...
    get the pic in photoshop,
    'duplicate' the pic so u get two,
    for the top pic, gaussian blur it by 2 pixels or watever u feel right,
    right click the top one and click on 'blending option',
    in [general blending], choose 'soft light', give the OK...
    then on the bottom pic, brighten it abit..

    this should give a more glossy look and better contrast...

    as for specific's like eyeshadowing or etc... be really good with your mouse and know wat ur doing...

    Another effect:

    1) Dupe layer
    2) Top layer, radical blur (10 i think)
    3) Set it to overlay and set opacity to suit need
