Beauty mark
A beauty mark is a mole on the face or other part of the body that is considered to be attractive. On the face they are usually located within an inch or so of the upper lip. They were particularly highly-regarded during the Renaissance and it became commonplace to create false beauty marks using makeup. Genuine beauty marks are usually subdermal and do not protrude from the skin.
Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark generated a new vogue for them during the twentieth century and more recent celebrities to sport them include Madonna, Eva Mendes, Jason Morrow, Mariah Carey, Timea Vagvoelgyi (stomach), Gwen Stefani (body), Molly Sims, Leelee Sobieski, and, perhaps most famously, Cindy Crawford.
