Do the pictures I see with the flawless skin and sparkling eyes have to be done with the $600 Photoshop or can it be done with any of the lesser expensive Photoshop Elements

You can do it just fine with Elements.

The pictures you see start with almost flawless pictures. That's very important to understand. The magazine photographers use very advanced and expensive photo equipment, lighting, professional models and years of experience to take great shots.
When that part is over with - $600 photoshop is a pocket change for them.
So they do use a full blown photoshop, but you don't have to. You can get similar results with Elements. Full version has many functions specific to magazine editors, like working with 48 bit color, advanced color profiling, and more. Most of the things they do though - can be done in Elements. It just isn't worth the money for full PS unless you start with the kind of pictures as mentioned above.
