Abstract

A transparent, flexible and deformable face shield that adaptably fits and conforms to the contours of the wearer's face to protect the wearer's eyes, contact lenses, face, etc. from hairspray products or other products containing contaminants. The face shield includes an inwardly projecting mouthpiece which is gripped between the wearer's teeth to hold the shield in sealing engagement over the wearer's face, leaving both of the wearer's hands free to perform hairstyling or other functions.
