Star Quality: Big Change for a consistent Role Model

Jackie gets a Make Over!

Jacquline Kehoe is a true star, a rare gem. At the young age of 19 Jackie switched career from being a nusery assistant and took up the challenging role of Legal Assistant and Customer Relations Officer at a Law Firm in London.

To honour this young lady who is quietly influencing a generation where teenage pregnancy has become a nation crisis, we decided to vamp her up for a good night out. Jackie and Perfect Harmony Managazine's Jemima share a rare moment during Lunch break.

They consider the regular Jackie look below and plan how to bring out her sassy side, making the most of her best features. After a long day at work Jackie kicks off her shoes ready for the makeover.
At work the pace is hectic and the pressure amazing. Everyone wants something from Jackie all of the time and she is constantly rushing around meeting everyone’s needs. Client’s look to her to ensure solicitors take their calls and respond on times to their needs, something she doesn’t truly have full control over, while the solicitors expect her to keep the channel of communication smooth and ensure all administrative needs are taken care of.

In all these, one thing is fascinating about Jackie, her demeanour. She remains tireless and ever cheerful. Fielding interrogation from anxious clients has never been easy but Jackie makes it seem like a walk over.

Jackie loves to have fun, travels a lot and loves to take pictures. But most times she is on the other side of the camera. So this was a great opportunity to play dress up and get under the spotlight.

Jackie: I’m going to Africa next year. I’m really looking forward to it. I hope to spend a few weeks visit my sister in law's village, get around Ghana, and even witness my brother’s wedding ceremony. I hear it’s a grand affair, an African wedding.

I’m off to Greece again in a few months. It’s my favourite holiday spot. I’m going with friends and family and my boy friend Ian. It will certainly be great fun.

For the Make Over, Jackie picked out her favourite dress while Jemima does Jackie's makeup and hair. And now for the unvieling of the vamped up Jackie!
The volume in her hair is impressive. Jackie gets away from the straight hair and middle parting and get a sulty look. Its amazing what a few curling can do for your hair. Just don't apply too much heat.

Note how the highlights bring out the sparkle in her eyes. Keep the colours light and dont be too heavy handed. Don't forget the lips! Jackie is ready to step out! Here comes the girl!!!

Our Jackie is not all brains, we find there is a lot of beauty hidden in there and it's not just on the inside!
PHM: At 21 you have your whole life ahead of you. What are the milestones you are looking forward to in terms of your career?

Jackie: I am studying for my nationally recognised Paralegal Certificate now and should finish by the end of the year. I’ll probably take a couple of months off studying before taking on University. I am considering studying Law.

PHM: What about marriage and children?

Jackie: That would be great but I am still a little young for that right now. I have had a great relationship with Ian for two years now and I’m happy.
Ian arrived while we were shooting and said Jackie looked as young and as sweet as when he first met her. Thanks Ian, PHM thinks the Make Over must have worked big magic.
Jackie: I love the makeup and the way it brings out my eyes. I also love the volume and the soft of my hair. I didn't know models did so much work. I didn't realise one had to take do many shots. The flash made my eyes hurt after a while but it was great fun being pampered and admired. I'll certainly do it again given the chance. Thanks Jemima. Thanks PHM.
PHM: Thanks Jackie. It was great fun.
