It looks more solid (and permanent) than a freckle. I think it's a (facial) mole.

Isn't mole a negative thing? Like a skin abnormality or something like that? Do people find moles gross?

Some famous beauties like Cindy Crawford and Marilyn Monroe have had facial moles. They're also known as "beauty marks".

Because I want to learn something that can be used for men as well.

Okay, what about these?

1. The was a mole beneath the right part of his lower lip, making him cuter.

2. The was a beauty mark beneath the right part of her lower lip, making her cuter.

More naturally, The beauty mark below her lower lip made her even cuter in his eyes. If context doesn't make it clear, you should establish that this is a subjective assessment.

I'm not really sure how to phrase a masculine version.

In the UK, Cindy Crawford's facial mole was called a "beauty spot". I don't think I've ever heard the same term used for a man's facial mole but, as far as I can tell, it only seems to be women on whom such a mole is considered an enhancement to their looks. On everyone else, it's neutral.
