Talk:Beauty mark

Location of type
I have this evening 6th June 2008 been watching the French version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire on TF1. The question was "where on the face is the beauty spot called the Descreet". The answer was "The chin" This clearly implied that there is a name for different spots in different places on the body. I certainly have never heard of this. The search will go on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gfplux (talk • contribs) 18:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: User:72.252.242.2 changed the above comment from User:Gfplux to User:Fireplug. I reverted but wanted to note that this suggests a connection between the three users. Jokestress (talk) 03:55, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a list here --FeldBum (talk) 15:53, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Irrelevant comment
I deleted "The thing on Elena Miglorino's face is not a beauty mark." from the article because it seemed very irrelevant and childish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.95.148 (talk) 18:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

List of locations and attributes?
A question - I know that certain locations for beauty marks (whether natural or false) are meant to imply certain characteristics such as "courage" - high on the cheek and "passion" - near the eye. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of these or know where I can find one? i have one on my upper lip —The preceding comment is unsigned


 * I remember stumbling upon such a thing. One above the lip is supposed to mean having plenty to eat and drink for the rest of your life. Schlumpff 06:05, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Covering smallpox?
Weren't "beauty marks" in the past used in large part to cover smallpox scars? --71.106.197.185 06:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Why?
Could someone perhaps try to explain why some people find beauty marks atractive? I certainly don't understand it. Unless asymmetry just turns people on or something.... But seriously, it's just a dot. I don't understand why people would go out of their way to fake one. --SeizureDog 16:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I absolutely love beauty marks. When someone has smooth light-medium skin and it is speckled with small beauty marks oh.. my... goooooooooood.... It just make said person irresistible! TrevorLSciAct 21:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

It's an old aesthetic principle that a small defect can highlight surrounding perfection by contrast- also a small dark spot was supposed to make the surrounding skin look whiter. Saxophobia (talk) 19:30, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Overboard with the Celebs
Is it really necessary to list every single celebrity who has a beauty mark? Especially the body marks since nearly everyone has at least one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.63.203.54 (talk) 03:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

I agree with the last comment, who cares if a celebrity has a mole on their left arm!! Surely this list should only include those with ones on their faces!--SAS87 15:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well 80.38.64.168 00:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

facial moles are the best!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.184.46.17 (talk) 00:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

The list is ridiculously long, and really just goes to show how incredibly common it is to have some kind of mark somewhere on the face. I've gone ahead and removed it, as it appears that a number of people agree, and no one has raised any objections. Here is the last version pre-removal, for the sake of preserving the list for any future discussion. Maybe there are a few especially notable cases from this list that could be included as examples, but overall it's just too long and trivial. --Icarus (Hi!) 06:22, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Historical fashions
Where did the statement of beauty marks being a Renaissance fashion come from? It's the 18th century that's most noted for their popularity. Fixing this.--Snowgrouse 07:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Robert DiNero
Is the list stating Robert DiNero having a mole on his "arse" vandalism? Or is this a well known thing? I get the feeling its vandalism. (75.50.113.116 (talk) 08:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC))

Health
I have a question. I have a beauty mark, and every time i shave i cut it up. DO anyone of you know if its dangerous? because i heard it can result in cell modulation... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.197.61.66 (talk) 21:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Beauty Mark...Lemmy?
Yeah-part of the qualification of a beauty mark is that it doesn't protrude from the skin. Also-Lemmy/Beauty Mark-it doesn't quite gel. Giant masses of abnormal cells on the faces of heavy-metal icons are moles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.237.109 (talk) 05:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Uncited celebrity list
The following uncited list has 'accreted' in the article. If true and notable, then citations will surely be easy to find. If not, best it's not in the article. Sources, anybody? Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:34, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Some celebrities who have beauty marks include Madonna below her right nostril, Sheena Easton below her left nostril, Tina Louise on her cheek, Sheryl Crow on her chin, Mel B on her chin, Mariah Carey on her chin, Taylor Swift on her neck, Angelina Jolie on her forehead, Blake Lively on her cheek, Eva Mendes on her cheek, Erin Wasson below her right nostril, Marion Cotillard on her forehead, Kate Upton below her right nostril, Natalie Portman on her left cheek, and Sophia Bush on her right cheek. In addition, U.S. Congresswoman Robin Kelly has a beauty mark below her right nostril. Men are also seen as attractive for bearing facial moles, such as Actor Dylan O'Brien and the Musician Prince; both are iconic for their numerous beauty marks.
