I am looking for a pair of Ski goggles that don't cover up half of my face/forehead, a smaller pair! I can't keep using sunglasses when it's snowing so I'll need an upgrade.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If your problem is simply small face then buy a women/small specific model rather than unisex e.g. Dragon DXS. If you are actually looking for gaper gap between helmet and goggles I'm not sure anyone can help.

It seems that goggles have got bigger and bigger over the last few years; not good for those of us with small faces.
Try children's or teenagers' ones maybe (I buy them from Decathlon)? I find even female specific ones are too big often.
I have some Smith goggles, old-style lens within pretty slim frame (sorry, looked on Google for a make and piccy but can't find; they look like the current Drift model) and they're the best that I've found bar the Decathlon ones. I have some women's Oakley's, and they are huge on me.
Can you go to a shop with a wide range and try a few on?

Smith I/OS work for me, I’ve got a small face, they are a bit of a faff to change lenses, but do fit well.

I have a similar problem and have found Alpina to be the only reliable brand viz my narrow bridge of nose and a small face. But I’m talking women’s spec here. Not sure if it carries over to their men’s goggles

Bollé Duchess are quite small fit. I've got two pairs, and hubby has stolen one of them as he also has a small face.

@NewSki, have you tried any goggles on recently? I have a very narrow face, really struggle with glasses (90%+ of adult styles are simply too big, I sometimes end up with youth frames) but find that the regular Smith I/O fits really well. They to cover a lot of my face but since I wear them with a helmet, that doesn't matter (and doesn't look odd); comfort and field of view are more important, IMO. So don't rule things out unless you've tried them on and they don't work for you.

Screwfix do some bolle saftety specs in clear, yellow and dark which are great in the snow. The yellow one work particularly well in flat light. I often wear them as it keeps the wind out of my eyes better than sunglasses https://www.screwfix.com/p/bolle-tracker-smoke-lens-goggles/8515f
At a tenner a pair they aren’t a bad price either.

Asian fit Oakleys or Smith googles might do the trick.

Kooky's place stocks Atomic Revents which come in a really small frame for youth/small faces/women etc and are pretty highly thought of. Can be had discounted down to €79.

Thanks to all! I have looked at Females and Kids goggles and they seem smaller but my only concern is how tight they are going to be on my face?

Try them on!
Unlikely to be an issue with adjustable straps, I would think.
I have 1 pair - which I otherwise like very much - where the bridge of the nose is very tight and pinches after a while. I got a bit of stick-on foam off E Bay and solved the problem.
