I can tell you, as a fashion model, that there's not make-up that will make you look like that, because it's all brushed up. Don't waste your money trying to achieve that look; it's not real. I can give you a few tips, though: when photo shoots like the ones you see in magazines are done, powder is never used (in my experience), only liquid foundation. The foundation is always applied with cosmetic wedges (you can buy them in large packs at drug stores). Don't be afraid to use it unevenly (but blended in) over your face as needed.

OK ,first, any one will look good with the right celebrity make up artist!
There is a product called 'Primer" that needs to be applied prior to foundation and after moisturizer. This smooths out the skin and fills in the lines, etc. basically preps the skin for foundation. I sometimes just use the primer alone specially if i am in a hurry or don't want to fuss with foundation...
There are many brands of cosmetics that offer this item. Sometimes even a foundation will contain a primer for a dual action.
Also, keep in mind, you may not always need a foundation and powder on your skin both to have a better looking skin. Maybe one or the other but both may be too much for some people. The right shade and consistency of a foundation is also important. Consult with a make up artist if you get a chance.
Good nutrition is also essential. Drink plenty of water and try snacking on fruits not junk food.

Well for starters, yes the airbrushing is a big reason why celebs skin looks so great. BUT...
... there are other steps you can take to get that flawless look.
One, try different types and kinds of products. If you go to a department store even though the salesgal might give you the pinched annoyed look, ask to get color tested for foundation, powder, or type of coverage you feel comfortable with. When you're doing your shopping, leave it on and see how you a) feel about it and b) how it looks under different settings. Any decent counter girl will support you in trying to find the right match. Suggestions for department store cosmetics foundation/skin wise: Prescriptives will specifically create a blend of foundation and powder for your skin. MAC although they're great for most products, they're blends have higher amounts of talc in it, which may, depending on person, cause pore blockage (but I've had some good results from it). Clinque is also good-- especially their product that's a hybrid between powder and foundation, but that's a bit fuller coverage. Lancome has an amazing powder that has better coverage than most and can be used on it's own without foundation. Bobbi Brown has an amazing line as well.(Also, it's of note here... just because it's in a department store, doesn't mean it's better. You might want to try L'Oreal (after all they do own MAC, the Body Shop, Benefit, etc and are the largest cosmetic company in the world) or Revlon or MaxFactor, as well. And though you can't product test the way you can in department stores, believe it or not you can actually return it after you've tried it.
Two, proper skin care. The more products doesn't necessarily mean better for your skin. Generally you want to look at your skin while doing your normal routine and assess if it's working or if you still have trouble spots (e.g. blotchiness, acne, uneven skin, etc). Make sure to clean your face often. Don't go to bed with make up. Moisturize the right amount for your skin type. Use sunblock daily. Exfoliate every once in a while when you need it.
Three, a little bit of bronzer goes a long way. Not like Jennifer Lopez circa 2002 ish but just hit the points the sun hits... high points of cheekbones, a little forehead, etc.
Seriously though, in person celebrities do look like they have thick layers of powder. It's the only way for they're skin to look even and glow for photos and on tv. Like stage make up looks ridiculous in person but on stage it works.
Good luck!

Always put on a moisturizer before applying your makeup. It keeps the makeup from drying out your skin.

I think primers do a fantastic job in keeping the makeup look great and natural. I love MAC primer for the eyes. It does wonders in making my eye makeup look great.
