Also means
mine (for minerals)
Usage Note
Mine as 'appearance' appears in expressions like avoir bonne mine (to look well) and faire grise mine (to look displeased or to give someone a cold reception). As a mineral mine it is the same spelling. The possessive pronoun le mien / la mienne is a homophone trap but unrelated.
Examples
"Tu as bonne mine aujourd'hui."
Natural Translation
You look well today.
Literal Translation
You have good mine today.
