We think he looks pretty good with a little bit of facial hair and it seems that most fans were completely in agreement.

But of course there will always be people who don't like the change and several of Shawn's fans weren't feeling the new whiskers...

So what do you think of Mr Mendes' latest attempt at sporting facial hair?

We're 100% here for it and we just hope Shawn's got his shaving game down cos otherwise he's gonna need stitches!

Yeah we did just do that.
