From the runways of Paris and Milan to a dramatic finish in New York, Men’s Fashion Week has showcased some the best and most daring beauty trends for men. There was the playful (embellished hair clips at Vivienne Westwood), the edgy (messy bangs at Louis Vuitton) and the fashion-forward (a charcoal grey smoky eyes at Giorgio Armani), but each is worth giving a try at home. Here, a closer look at the best hair, makeup, and grooming trends from the Men’s Spring 2018 runways.
