That smooth, overdone editing of pics....
 

Can't say I really like it or dislike it, but I have always been interested in how it's done exactly? any info?

Many ways to get that.

I use smart blur in PS.

There are several ways to achieve that look.. but smart blur is a good one to do some "quick" editing

Smart Blur works ok for me. Not sure of any other ways though.

I hate it... fucking looks like crap.

But if you are looking for a quick way to get a soft look here ya go:

Make 2 duplicate layers of your photo
make the Blending Mode of the first layer to Lighten and the second to Darker.

Do about a 20 radius Gaussian Blur on both layers.

Make the Lighten layer 35% Opacity, the Darken layer 20%

you can then make a new layer and do a combine Visible on the layer (Option Key or alt Key Layer:Combine Visible) and the turn of the Ligthen and Darken layers, and mask out the eyes, nostrils, hair, and any background you don't want to have the soft look...

What he said, or you can just use the smart blur.

That last one sells like hotcakes...

Ok it's definitely Smart Blur haha, just always wanted to try it myself. Im definitely not a fan of it, but thought in case I ever needed to use it or something similar might as well learn. Thanks all!

And thanks for the tips on the softening. :)
