"   Photo: Getty Images  Val Garland is a master of thinking on her feet. For the Hache makeup test on Sunday, she entered the studio cold\u2014never having even glimpsed the new spring 2014 collection beforehand. She reviewed the inspirations for the line with designer Manuela Arcari and stylist Havana Laffitte\u2014a rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll-meets-romanticism vibe\u2014while an assistant meticulously laid out Garland&amp;#039;s entire makeup kit, littered with yet-to-launch M.A.C products. &amp;quot;The collection feels quite sweet but we want something strong and graphic\u2014like a biker chick mixed with a teddy boy,&amp;quot; she said as she began drafting a sideways lightning bolt shape on a model&amp;#039;s lid with  M.A.C Cr\u00E8me Liner. Next, Garland earnestly began searching for a very specific shade for the lip look. &amp;quot;I want a nasty sort of salmon. Something really nasssssty,&amp;quot; she hissed, rejecting milder coral and peach hues with a shoo of her hand. &amp;quot;I want one of those opaque, chalky, &amp;#039;60s apricot colors\u2014something that&amp;#039;s a little bit off, which reflects the collection.&amp;quot; Finally, she conjured up the ideal hue by mixing an orange gloss (M.A.C Lipmix in Orange) with a chubby persimmon lip pencil (the new-for-spring Velvetease Lip Pencil in Lovers Lane). Garland stepped back to inspect her design. &amp;quot;That doesn&amp;#039;t look that interesting with the eyes open, only with the eyes closed. Doesn&amp;#039;t it?&amp;quot; she asked her team. Garland plunged back into the look a second time and began smudging black cream along the lower lash lines and painting over her bolt with liner all over the lids. She extended two stripes\u2014one along the lashes and the other in the sockets\u2014past the inner and outer corners to create double wings on both sides. While she worked, an assistant shined a flashlight onto the model&amp;#039;s face (any other light would make the model&amp;#039;s eyes tear). After she finished coloring in and flicking out the lids, Garland decided she was pleased enough with her second iteration. She escorted the model to Arcari and Laffitte, who for their parts, had secluded themselves during the entire process. It was the moment of reckoning. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny, it ended up being very Fabulous Stains,&amp;quot; said Lafitte, referencing the &amp;#039;80s film starring Diane Lane. Garland nodded her head. &amp;quot;Alright, cool!&amp;quot; Lafitte announced, giving her final approval as Arcari watched on without a word, but a smile. And with that, the acute and quick-witted Garland aced the test.
