beauty marks
Decorative skin dots
Beauty marks are small dark spots on the skin, natural or cosmetic, considered attractive rather than blemishes.
The term reframes moles or birthmarks as aesthetic features: Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark became her signature.
In the 18th century, fashionable women applied artificial beauty marks called mouches.
Also called beauty spots.
