kiss mark

Lipstick left behind

A kiss mark is a lipstick impression left on a surface—a cheek, a collar, a love letter, a coffee cup.

The term also refers to a hickey: a bruise on the skin caused by sucking or biting during passionate kissing.

She noticed the kiss mark on his neck the next morning.
