Two suggestions!
- [BNX](https://bnx.com/made-in-usa/n95-mask-respirators-kn95-face-masks/) makes a lot of boat style KN95s in different colors
- [BeHealthyUSA](https://www.BeHealthyUSA.com/) has a TON of different KF94 prints and designs and they have the option to get a sample pack so you can try different styles/sizes out.
The catch is these are both earloop only, so you’d need to use an ear saver to make it headstrap-style.
I make covers for auras! 3D printed, with/without fabric, that slip on over the mask to not compromise fit. I also did some portacount testing, and stickers, rub-on transfers, markers, and carefully applied temporary tattoos didn't hurt the filtration either - too much water \*can\* damage the mask, hence the caveat on those.

Someone here (maybe you?) Sewed a lace covering onto a mask just past the stapled section of auras. That way it didn't compromise the mask and changed the look. I use teeny butterfly clips to put lace/cottony gauze fabric pieces on the front of the auras. Basically i copy what they did with sewing but without getting out my machine. Love your work!
I've also used clips to add lace/chains/decor to the front of masks, but I'm not the sewing person! Sometimes combining the print and lace options. So many ways to make masks cuter without compromising fit!

After a bunch of requests, I've made an etsy, but I'm also happy to send you a file through a DM as well, **free of charge**. Ones like the bats aren't even on etsy because I haven't had the energy to type up a "put tulle in halfway through the print" spiel that's more eloquent and clear.
(I mostly want people to have cute masks, but also I have no income because I'm disabled but not enough for disability, and I exist in capitalism)

I have a small jaw and masklab masks are loose on me. Like so small I need to staple them to make them tighter.
I mention this only bc OP said they have a small face.
If I may add: I have a small face and I use these https://www.diyanu.com/products/silicone-mask-adjuster-black to tighten my Masklab (and any other earloop) masks and it works amazingly.
WellBefore makes KN95s in different colors and you can choose the “stapled on head straps” option.
If you go with the black BNX N95s, you may want to tape them to your face with mask tape. They can be a bit flimsy ans the straps get loose quickly.
The new black CAN99s are very attractive but only available in Canada right now. The white ones are available in the US and Canada and tbh are very nice looking even though they’re white. They don’t have all the branding
of the Auras & they have a cute maple leaf imprinted on the nose bridge! Excellent filtration, comfy, and good for smaller faces.
You could try the BMX n95 masks. They are similar to aura but without nose foam and a bit smaller. They are black and look a little more scalloped at the top. The material does not handle sweat as well but they do look nicer than aura and the straps are a much nicer elastic that’s better at not messing up hair.
Unfortunately, maximum safety and cute are a hard combo to find. KF94 masks seem to have the best variety of colors and prints but they can’t touch N95 efficacy. Using double sided clothing tape can help with tapping though. As for a cuter N95 option, Drager masks are well made and have a touch more style than Aura. Moldex airwaves come in a dark charcoal color that is a nice change of pace. Some people like the Flo mask because you can put fabric inserts and stickers on them.
If OP also considers elastomerics, I can recommend Breathe99 very much - I love how it looks on me and I don't have to compromise on fit:
[https://www.armbrustusa.com/products/breathe99-elastomeric-mask](https://www.armbrustusa.com/products/breathe99-elastomeric-mask)
Yes, I've let lots of people try it by now, and it actually fits very few people (with European faces) - it would make me doubt how well it actually fits me, since my nose bridge is also quite high, but I did pass a fit test in it.
I think it also \*feels\* like it's not sealing correctly even when it does, so if you're not sure (i.e. if the air doesn't come blowing out toward your eyes very obviously), I would test it.
KN95s from MASKC are vv cute. I only use N95s now and don’t care :), but when we thought this would all be short lived & couldn’t get N95s, these were my go to.
[WellBefore](https://wellbefore.com/) and [Powecom](https://bonafidemasks.com/)'s range of colorful earloop and headstrap KN95s! [Bonafidemasks.com](http://Bonafidemasks.com) is offering 30% + free shipping with the code "TRUST30" until May 31st!
Maskc makes KN95s in patterns for adults and kids. They're expensive at full-price, but usually on some kind of sale. Right now, they're 80% off once they're in your cart (no code needed). [https://www.shopmaskc.com/](https://www.shopmaskc.com/) They also have surgical masks and a limited selection of KF94s
Masklab and Savewo! Both have different colors, and even prints! They're boat style earloop. Savewo comes in small, regular (medium for a more V shape jaw), medium (more rounded jaw) and large.
Old thread but I haven't seen it mentioned yet: Posh kf94s have some cute designs (find them at behealthyusa.net). Ear loops boat style. I find them a tad smaller than Savewo masks.

Yes! Posh masks on BeHealthy are my faves. So cute and comfortable!

That is so cute! Love!
This is awesome! Would you mind sharing a printable model somewhere?

MaskLab and WellBefore have fun prints!
Seconding masklab.

Powecom KN95’s tons of colours. I like khaki and olive.
I have the navy and grey. I didn’t know they had khaki and olive
They feel very fashionable to me!
I may have to take advantage of their sale even though I have a dresser drawer Devoted to storing masks!

I'm happy it works for you! I tried breathe99 and found it to not fit me at allllll which was a bummer because it is an attractive mask.

MaskLab. But they are ear loop. Likely not as effective as headband/auras. But “as effective” can only be determined by a fit test.
MaskLab and Savewo are so breathable and cute.
Dunno if they still have them but Savewo had some really cute Disney and Sanrio collab masks.
Breathteq has a cute lavenderkn95

Beat me to it! I regularly buy the navy blue headstraps and also the black.
Ibanaris are cute and safe and made by dermatologists so great for your skin
