A beauty mark or beauty spot is a dark facial mole that some people consider attractive, usually when it is within about an inch of the upper lip or around the eyes, and is subdermal so that it does not protrude from the skin. Other moles may also be scattered around the body, but are not generally considered beauty spots.
False beauty spots can be applied to the face as a form of make-up. Beauty marks were particularly highly regarded during the 18th century and creating false ones became common, often in fanciful shapes such as hearts. Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark generated a new vogue for them during the twentieth century. In recent years, fashion model Cindy Crawford's prominent mole has helped revive the look.
