Transparent and multi-faceted face mask

A face mask, comprising:

• a diamond-shaped center segment having a vertical height extending from upper and lower edges defining a perimeter of the face mask, wherein the vertical height coincides with an overall vertical height of the face mask, and wherein the diamond-shaped center segment is defined by a first planar surface and a second planar surface separated by a central horizontal bend;
• an upper left segment extending from a first side of the diamond-shaped center segment at a first downward angle to a first outer edge;
• a lower left segment extending from a second side of the diamond-shaped center segment at a second downward angle to a second outer edge;
• an upper right segment extending from a third side of the diamond-shaped center segment at the first downward angle to a third outer edge;
• a lower right segment extending from a fourth side of the diamond-shaped center segment at the second downward angle to a fourth outer edge;
• a first riser attached to and extending along the first and second outer edges to define a left outer edge;
• and
• a second riser attached to and extending along the third and fourth outer edges to define a right outer edge, the first and second risers extending outward to outer ends at a cantilever distance from an upper edge of the upper left and right segments,
• wherein the first and second risers are configured to lever the left and right outer edges away from a face of a person when the person wears the face mask, thereby creating airgaps between the first, second, third, and fourth outer edges and the face of the person, and
• wherein the diamond-shaped center segment and the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right segments are formed of a clear and flexible plastic.

A face mask, comprising:

• a body with a perimeter defined at least partially by an upper edge, a lower edge, a left edge, and a right edge, wherein the body is formed of a clear and flexible plastic, wherein the body includes a diamond-shaped center segment having a vertical height extending from the upper edge to the lower edge, and wherein the vertical height coincides with an overall vertical height of the body;
• and
• at least one strap coupled to the left and right edges of the body and configured to attach the body of the face mask to the head of a person wearing the face mask with the body positioned over the nose and the mouth of the person,
• wherein the at least one strap is configured to pivot the face mask about the person's nose to urge the lower edge outward to define airgaps between the lower edge and the person's mouth, chin, and lower cheeks, such that the lower edge is not in contact with the person's face at the person's mouth, chin, and lower cheeks,
• wherein the diamond-shaped center segment is defined by a first planar surface and a second planar surface separated by a central horizontal bend, and
• wherein the central horizontal bend defines an angle in a range of 120 to 160 degrees, wherein interior surfaces of the body define an arcuate bowl for use in directing breath exhaled from the person's nose and mouth downward to pass through the airgaps.
