I have a pretty narrow face, my go to is a atomic frameless medium. It even fits my 9yo. The other I have good luck with is an aqualung mission midi. There are aqualung mask that are even a little narrower. An aqualung dealer has a chart that lists masks in order of how narrow they are.
I have had very good luck with the Tusa masks. My current mask is the Tusa Elite

I have a narrow face and it took me a while before I found one that fit properly without leaking. I love my Atomic Aquatics subframe mask. It offers a high field of vision and rarely leaks. As a back up I have an older Mares mask which also fits smaller faces. The Oceanic Ion mask claimed to fit smaller faces, but after one day of diving and dealing with multiple leaks, I wanted to feed it to a woodchipper.

There are a number of good candidate masks, but for starters I'd suggest trying the Atomic Frameless II mask:
Atomic Framless II Scuba Dive Mask - Diving Masks - Scuba Equipment Dive Gear Best Prices
It comes in 3 sizes (as you can see on their WWW site) the smallest size is called "medium".
I've also had good experiences loaning out this Apollo mask to women on dive trips or pool training sessions:
Apollo 85cc Bio Metal Mask - Dive Masks - Scuba Equipment Dive Gear Best Prices
Atomic Framless II Scuba Dive Mask - Diving Masks - Scuba Equipment Dive Gear Best Prices

The atomic frameless II has the part of the skirt closest to your face made of a material that is softer than the rest. For me, this let the mask come to close to my face and ride on the bridge of my nose.
I have found frameless masks from atomic and Scubapro to fit virtually any diver...from 10yo girls to sumo wrestlers. I keep replacing my masks with the exact same Scubapro frameless model...mostly because I don’t like change when it comes to dive gear. I’ve tried a myriad of masks over the years, but usually because I had a student who ended up with a mask that wasn’t great...and leaking...so I gave them mine to use for the rest of the day.
There are several masks with a “mini” version that might work. Oceanic (?) Shadow Mini is one.

My Tusa Visio was the smallest mask I ever found and fits my small face perfectly, but I don't think they make it anymore. It looks like Tusa has new ones that seem to be just as small though. Good luck!

I’m also a woman with a small face, and I’ve gotten a good fit from the ScubaPro spectra mini.
