Rukha biography

How did it all start? Rukha: I have been drawing from childhood, I even wanted to go to the Art Academy, but my parents were against it. These were the years, and, becoming an artist, you automatically condemned yourself to a hungry life. I entered the Baku State University at the Faculty of Journalism, went to classes for a year and realized that this was absolutely not mine.

In the Azimzade art school, there was a shortage, and I immediately entered the faculty of ceramics. Having successfully graduated, she immediately entered the Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Arts, again for ceramics. But while still studying at the school, I already worked as an artist-designer in the palace of Lenin The current Palace. Heydar Aliyev, two years made shields.

At that time, I began to get involved in photography, and I invented images on my own and applied makeup. My friend saw my work, and he liked them so much that he suggested that I work in a beauty salon, where I began my activity as a makeup artist, without throwing my fascination with a photograph. At that time, there were no cell phones, no social networks, nor the opportunity to set their work.

They gave ads in the newspapers ... And it was more likely to work in the cabin as a hobby that brings additional earnings. It was a difficult time. Father no longer worked, my mother, too, and I needed to actually support my family. I was looking for any opportunity to earn using my abilities and talents. The M. Rukha: Quiet and calm. I did not like to walk somewhere, preferring to spend time at home.

I had no friends for that period as such. Only at the school I met artists, whom to this day I consider the most interesting people on Earth. I began to draw as a child, and dad even hired me a teacher, whose name was Mamed. He had three daughters, and all three I did makeup before the wedding laughs. Rukha: In my professional formation, our show business played a role. I have never been a fan of local singers.

Rather, on the contrary, she looked and noted for herself all stylistic mistakes in their images. This is now every star has a personal stylist who understands his profession and has a good taste, but then all this was not. The first to me came Nargiz Jalilov. Then, with Zulfia Khanbabaeva, we made her cult black and white image. He was seen by Aigun Kyazimov, and we came up with an shocking image, consisting of shades of gold and silver.

Joint work resulted in long -term friendship, which we support to this day. Rukha: I’ll say right away that it’s not easy to work with me. I also have my own vision and my “I”, which, of course, gives rise to certain difficulties. Zulfia is not a simple person who is quite difficult to please. But when I started working with her, I already knew her style and her character that she can and that in no case can not, and that she prefers everything natural.

Therefore, it turned out that we immediately had contact with her, we began to be friends and are still friends. Aigun is a great lover of luxury, so it was also easy for me to find an approach to her. As they say, to each his own, but I always tried to direct them in order to create the right, beautiful, not easy images. Probably the most difficult person was Dadashev’s diamond, but we managed to work with her.

Many performers who began their activities at that time were completely absorbed in music, and they were not up to the style. It is now young, first of all, they think about how they look. I have a good attitude towards them to everyone, but they do not have the zest that their predecessors have and have. Of the young, except Iceel hooked, first of all, because she is not only a performer, but also the author of her own songs, and she has good taste.

You need to pay for everything, but ours do not like it. Yes, of course, there are people with whom I can work for free. But there are such “stars” who call and say that if I want to work with them, I have to pay them ... Why do I need this?! Glory to Allah, today I am in demand. Tell us about her. Rukha: I created a cosmetic line based on natural ingredients with a natural color scheme.

So far, the line includes only nine products, but it seems to me that they should be in a bag of every Azerbaijani woman. I hope that the line will become popular and will use it. Rukha: This, of course, is individual and depends on the type of skin. Returning to my line, I tried to find universal products for women with an ordinary and mixed skin type.

It was a great work that I spent three years on - I went, looked, chose. It was very costly, both financially and emotionally. I am currently engaged in promoting products. Already shot commercials on almost all products. And I really want to believe that they will be sold not only in Azerbaijan. But for this you need to work, work and work again. Rukha: I do not use it.

I don’t paint at all. I do not like. My face does not even know what such a tonal cream laughs.Maybe that's why my face is so young, but I am already 43 years old. Our girls, already at the age of 20, in everyday life, paint as if they were going on stage. Even the sport is made up. I want to change this and urge young people less to use decorative cosmetics. Rukha: I get inspiration by nature.

I really like to travel, all my friends and acquaintances know it.

I traveled almost the whole world, and now I was thinking, where else can I go? I always, first of all, are looking for culture, depth. This year was in Miami and was not at all impressed. Asia is more impressed with me, in it I love everything - I am going, and nature, and customs, and people. Rukha: you need to be seen and noticed. Therefore, social networks are very important.

It is no longer necessary to have cool connections. Talented people, and not only in my industry, if they want to work, they themselves will lay their way. Rukha: Recently, I want to move from the child. She is still very small, she will only be four, but she already draws and does such hairstyles that I am amusing. I myself can’t make such a laugh. At 10 years old will go to study hairdressing.

Well, what? I have two diplomas of higher education, and I work as a makeup artist smiles. Rukha: I used to do not care what would happen to me tomorrow. And now I understand that I have a child, and I have to educate him, grow, put it on my feet. I have a specific goal - I want it to grow up with a smart worthy person whom I would be proud of. I live for her, do everything for her for her and I hope that she will appreciate it.

And no matter how much she will choose. This is her life. I gave birth to her so that she lived the way she wanted. I did not give birth to it for myself, from some selfish motives, so that she looked after me in old age. I myself went through such difficulties, looked after my father and mother, and it was very difficult. Rukha: In youth ... If you are young, you are already beautiful.

And with age you need to try, take care of yourself, play sports. Thank God, now this understanding comes to us. In my time, no one told us that we need to deal with ourselves. Previously, the culture was completely different. Rukha: I feel great if it is necessary and if not overdo it. This is especially important for the scene people. But everything should be done correctly and beautifully.
