Salvador Dalí's birthday

The painter born on 11 May 1904, whose waxed, upturned moustache gave its name to a moustache style.

Salvador Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, on 11 May 1904. Beyond his surrealist paintings, he made his moustache part of his public image: thin, waxed and trained into long points that rose steeply towards his eyes. In 1954 he and the photographer Philippe Halsman published a book of photographs of it. The narrow, upturned style is now known as the Dalí moustache and is one of the classes judged at the World Beard and Moustache Championships. Holding its shape takes length on the upper lip and a firm moustache wax.
