Drawings of Girls With Under-Eye Beauty Marks - Like an Unshed Tear

Have you ever heard of the term nakibokuro? In Japanese, nakibokuro (”naki-” meaning “to cry” and “bokuro” meaning “mole”) refers specifically to moles that appear near or under the outer corner of your eye, where a teardrop is most likely to hit. A well-placed beauty mark can give a character an air of mystery, playfulness, or even melancholy, especially if they have not just one but two nakibokuro in the same spot as some of these characters do. Though some might be easy to miss at first, once you notice them, they can drastically change a person’s overall vibe, don’t you think?

Do you have an under-eye beauty mark of your own?
