With special trepidation about the master remembers the famous singer Laima Vaikule. We remember her words in memory of the departed Creator.



In Soviet times, when Yudashkin was just beginning his career, everyone knew him as a makeup master. Valentin Abramovich was engaged not only in traditional make, but also painted the faces and bodies of artists in a variety of ways.

It was then that Laima Vaikule met Yudashkin. “Valentin taught beauticians how to paint on their faces. He was one of the jury members in an international competition where makeup artists competed in their craft, the singer recalled.

Lima says, “He was the best makeup artist I’ve ever known.” His makeup was always amazing. And I jokingly called him Diphenhydramine. As nervous as I was before the concert, Valya found words to calm me down. I felt good right next to him.”

After graduating from the technical school, Yudashkin was sent to work in the Central Design Bureau. However, the desire for beauty took its toll. When the stylist met Laima Vaikule, he began to prepare her for concerts on a regular basis. And once the master did not go to his job at the plant, but went with the singer on tour.
