During the 17th-18th century in France and England courts, it became fashionable to wear French Mouches: fake moles made of taffeta, silk or satin and glued to the face, neck or shoulder. It started as a way to hide smallpox scars and acne and quickly evolved as a fashion accessory to greater and more advanced shapes. It was worn by both men and women but more predominantly young women. Depending on the placement, it had a different name and meaning:
“Women who wanted to create the impression of impishness stuck them near the corner of the mouth; those who wanted to flirt chose the cheek; those in love put a beauty spot beside the eye; a spot on the chin indicated roguishness or playfulness, a patch on the nose cheekiness; the lip was preferred by the coquettish lady, and the forehead was reserved for the proud.”( David Bindman, Frédéric Ogée and Peter Wagner, eds., Hogarth: Representing Nature’s Machines, 2001, p. 115.)






As researchers see it, men “are not strategic,” “get easily frustrated” and tend to want to “kill something quickly, drag it out. "
