Tilly is one person I truly admire in so many ways, so I was really excited to have the opportunity to be working with the Newcastle legend again as makeup artist for this editorial shoot by Pattern.

Her personality and style is still just as iconic as the moment we met, she oozes determination, has an infectious zest for life and her endless positive energy fills every room she walks into.
It's incredible to see other...
