** So are we forgetting Mikuru's star-shaped mole on her [[BuxomIsBetter left breast?]]

Beauty marks are facial moles. They are called that because over the course of history, they have at times been considered an attractive feature. Generally, to be considered attractive, a mole has to be small, not protrude from the person's face, and definitely not have any hairs growing from it. Fake beauty marks have sometimes been fashionable, especially in the 18th century. Most fake moles were made of silk or velvet, and were sometimes cut into shapes like stars or hearts.

This trope is about how facial moles have been handled in fiction, whether they were true [[BeautyMark Beauty Marks]] or just plain disgusting moles. There have been dozens of stories resolved because of the discovery of "the family birthmark". A common gag in comedies featuring a character with a mole is having it explicitly revealed to be fake, or else have the mole spontaneously move around the character's face between close-ups. Occasionally, the ChosenOne has this. And occasionally, just occasionally, the presence of a mole means a skin cancer plot is approaching.

* From TheDemonOroron, Ororon and Othello are rare male examples. The former has three moles underneath the left eye, and the latter has only one.

* Vash from Trigun has the standard teardrop mole under his left eye. In the manga [[spoiler:his twin brother Knives has one under his right eye.]]

* In the original film version of ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Buffy had ?the mark of the ChosenOne?, a mole. Buffy was less than impressed.
-->'''Buffy:''' "All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now it may not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it's swell. And you come along and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can * throw* things at me?"

-->'''Edward Nygma:'" "How's my mole?"
-->'"Sugar:''' (exasperated) "Fine."

* And who could forget the principal from ''Uncle Buck''?

* In ''SilenceOfTheLambs'' by Thomas Harris, Clarice Starling has gunpowder burned into her cheek. It's noted that it is placed in a way that the French call 'courage'.

* From FinalFantasy: [[FinalFantasyX Lulu]] and [[FinalFantasyXIII Fang]] both have beauty marks to accentuate their TallDarkAndBishoujo statuses.

* Wendy O. 'Kootie Pie' Koopa has one on her right cheek in both ''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBros?from=Main.SuperMarioBrosSuperShow The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''(especially in her human form in the episode "The Beauty of Kootie"), and ''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBros?from=Main.SuperMarioBrosSuperShow Super Mario World]]'' TV series. Though, at times, you can or can't see it due to both the shows [[OffModel animation errors]].
* Dr Strangelove in ''MetalGearSolid: Peace Walker'' has one below her lower lip, although in her case it's possibly a symptom of her sun sensitivity caused by her leucism.
