Talk:Beauty mark

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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)

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)


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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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))

[edit] 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)
