Male Makeup Is The Beauty Trend For 2016 That All Guys Need To Know About

Finally the guys are getting a go with bold beauty

Male makeup has been creeping back into the mainstream for awhile now,with more and more products popping up on the high street specifically forguys who want to dabble in the world of grooming.

But from the looks of the AW16 stylingexhibiting at London CollectionsMen this week,next season is going to be even bigger for boys who like the idea of adding some colour into their beauty regimes, with bold and punchymakeup looks for men coming out as one of the clearest trends we sawpopping up all over the runway.

It's not just your bog standard defined brows and air brushedcomplexions either, and instead we see makeup artistsacross the board really experimenting with bold, layered colour, bigbright hair and pools of glitter and shimmer.

Among the designers leading the way on this areBurberry and newcomerCharles Jeffrey, both very different brands butwho eachtook explosive andvery different approaches on the beauty front.

First up is Burberry and with the show taking place as the tragic news about David Bowie's death broke, it was the perfect tribute to see them really embracing aZiggy Stardust inspired aesthetic.

With big 70s bed head on the models, leadBurberry makeup artist Wendy Rowe added in tiny star shaped bursts of glitter around their eyes like tiny streams of shining tears.

At the other end of the scale was Charles Jeffrey: LOVERBOY, who showed a totally kickass collection with a punky, urban aesthetic and clubwear edge.

With a totallygender fluid approach to fashion,it makes total sense to see this feelingflowingstraight into the accompanying hair andmakeup looks.

Using MAC products, MUAs including Lucy Bridge concoted some amazing paint pot looks with a bright andalmost clownish feel.

Clashing up the colours, it's all about smudgy pink lips with brightblues, yellows and hot pinkson the eyes, all of which ispulled together with clumpymascara and streaks of gold.

Of course you don't have to go quite this extreme in real life if you don't want to, but it's a pretty covetable bit of inspo when it comes to working colour into your look, no matter what gender you are.
