Petite Adult Face Masks
If your face is small or narrow, glasses are not the only thing that doesn’t fit well.
Most face masks will also be too large. This looks baggy and unattractive.
These lady lumps are not lovely…
But what’s worse is that they don’t work: loosely fitting masks leave gaps around the edges.
This allows airflow and defeats the purpose of wearing a mask.
The good news is that there are plenty of small size face masks for women like us.
Perfect fit! What a difference.

Up until my last order (my ninth!), I liked Beau Ties of Vermont. Their patterned masks fit my face perfectly. Unfortunately, their solid black and burgundy are way too large, despite there being no indication on their site that the fit was different. I contacted customer service to see if they would send at least a black mask as a replacement, given that there was no way I could have known before ordering. I know they can’t resell a mask, but they could certainly have sent one (even though I am out two due to the poor fit) in order to keep a frequent customer satisfied. Customer service was no help at all My attempts to determine if some styles were larger than others met with a stock “they are adult size. We don’t make them.” Their masks are attractive but buyer beware. You can’t count on consistency.
Hi Emily, Thank you for sharing your review of Beau Ties. That’s strange that the sizing would be so different without any indication of such. Please let us know if you find another brand that you are happy with! Thank you.
