Weekly beauty agenda: the fairest man of them all

The world's most handsome man will emerge from the Mr World final in Korea March 27. Also coming up over the next month: Spa Week and the International Beauty Show in the US, and in-cosmetics and Cosmoprof in Europe.

Mr World final
March 27
Incheon, Korea

The day marks the end of a 16-day program that had the more than 70 contestants from all over the world tour the country and compete against each other in various disciplines. Even though it is considered one of the biggest male beauty pageants in the world, it was only held five times since its inaugural event in 1996. Most recently, the prize was won by the Spanish Juan García Postigo in 2007.
