Continuing our In The Spotlight series, where we showcase the talents of others, we present to you Irene Zeleskou, or as her fans know her as FTOURINI on Deviantart.

We focus on a recent collection she has just finished called Zodiac Eye Calendar where she demonstrates a professional skill of makeup artistry mixed with a blend of Photoshop trickery. If you like the calendar you can purchase it from the Deviantart website for a very reasonable price.
