Seems the good lord made me with a very narrow face, although I never realized it until I started diving. I can't seem to find a mask that doesn't leak. (I just bought my 8th in two years) Someone out there has to have had the same problem and can suggest a good mask for us with narrow faces.
What kind of a mask are you looking for?
I know of a 3-window frameless (supposedly the lowest volume 3-window on the market). Black silicone skirt.
They're noticibly narrower than something like say, a ScubaPro frameless.
I would suggest to look at Tusa. That have an entire selection of smaller faced divers. And how about kid's masks? They are MUCH smaller. But I know for sure that Tusa has some small masks. I live in Okinawa, Japan right now and the diver here are pretty "small" all around. They do have a bit flatter face, but I think that you could find something there.
I find it almost impossible to get a good fit. I believe, but do not know, that it is because I have a bit of a narrow face. Anyhow, the best I've found is the Dacor Sport II.
I gave my sister my cheapy pro-blue mask (forget what model) that i got as part of a starter kit for classes. That seemed to be the only mask of about 6 that she tried that fit her narrow face.
I have a narrow face also. I use the Aqua Lung Hawaii III mask. It is a High volume mask with the side windows. Fits my face the best of all. If you have not had this one yet, try it. I have had mine for two years.
