A protective face mask comprising: an eye-protecting shield made essentially from a flexible plastic material and an adjustable metal nose bridge. The eye-protecting shield being dimensioned to cover at least the eye portions of a human wearer, the eye-protecting shield having a perimeter defining a surface facing the wearers face providing a substantially watertight and releasable sealing engagement between at least a portion of the perimeter forming an upper edge of the face mask and at least a portion of the skin of the wearers face, a portion of the lower part of the perimeter of the mask is free from the wearers skin, and wherein the mask extends along the contour of the wearers face from the forehead to cheekbones and the lower perimeter thereof extends to the bridge of the nose, provides a comfortable and flexible mask without the need for adhesive, straps, or side bars, avoids pressure on the skin in the contact zone, allows free eye movement and airflow and minimizes the formation of dew. The nose bridge is made of a malleable metal material and adjusts to the contours of the wearers bridge of nose. The mask is primarily adapted for providing a waterproof shield to ensure a dry environment during showering or during trips to the hairdresser, also allowing a person who has recently done their make-up to shower and shampoo their hair while keeping their eye make-up in a clean dry condition.
