half masks

Eye-level face covers

Half masks are masks that cover only part of the face, typically from the forehead to just below the nose, or from the nose to the chin.

In theater and masquerade, half masks leave the mouth free for speaking and drinking.

In safety equipment, half-mask respirators cover the nose and mouth while leaving the eyes exposed, requiring separate eye protection.
