The Lifeminute Team was front row and backstage during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Spring 2015 and spoke with the media industry's top editors on their picks for big beauty hits. "We saw a lot of beautiful hair and makeup," said Glenda Bailey, Editor-in-Chief of Harper's Bazaar. So what were the most popular trends?

1. Gotta have cool girl waves. "The hair is really easy. It's all about cool girl waves. Lots of low ponytails and middle parts," said Elaine Welteroth, Beauty & Health Director of Teen Vogue.

2. Braids, braids, and more braids. "I've seen a lot of braids, especially multiple braids, like two braids, or several in the back of the head," said Jasmine Snow, Senior Fashion Editor of Seventeen.

3. Glowing, dewy skin is in. "We're seeing a lot of beautiful, natural, glowy skin. Not a lot of overdone looks. If there's one must-have beauty purchase for spring, I think it has to be an amazing luminizer. Something that makes your skin glow, just dab it on the high planes of your cheekbones and on your Cupid's bow. You just want to look healthy and dewy and fresh," adds Welteroth.

4. Perhaps a pop of color on the lips? While there wasn't an overwhelming amount of bold lip colors, the fashion designers who chose to add a little pop of color on the model's lips went with a bright, crisp orange color. "A few shows went with a pop of orange on the lips, but otherwise I think it's been very clean and glowing," said fashion editor Susan Kaufman.
