disfigures
Ruins the look
Disfigures means mars or spoils the appearance of something.
A scar disfigures a face; graffiti disfigures a monument.
The word implies damage to something that was once whole or attractive: The accident disfigured him permanently.
The damage need not be physical—scandal disfigures a reputation.
