We can almost see the Cosmo quiz already — what does your face mask say about you?
Regardless of your personal stance or the shape of the re-opening of America, one thing seems pretty clear: face masks are a part of life now — and likely will be for the foreseeable future. So if you’re going to need coverage at the ready going forward, your mask should probably say a little something about you, right?
To that end, we’ve compiled 20 non-medical face mask offers to cover all manner of mask wearer, which pretty much includes just about everyone right now. From “look at me” masks to no-frills “get ‘er done” numbers, you should be able to find something here that just screams you.

Of course, why just draw attention when your mask can also make a firm declaration? These two-ply statement face mask 2-packs ($17.99; originally $29.99). Each set comes with one white and one black mask, boldly exclaiming one of five statements: Love, Hi, Hello, Fine…You?, and Wear a Mask Save a Life. Bold words, indeed.
If your idea of facewear leans toward the super-colorful, you might enjoy these cotton face mask 4-packs with fun prints ($19.99; originally $39.99). Each mask in each four pack is different, yet centered around a particular theme, so you flash bright masks featuring galaxies, bold patterns, tie-dye, kid-centric looks — and even a four pack sporting four stylish and fashion-forward mustaches.

It sparkles, it’s elegant and it’s a facemask that works in almost any situation. And if you’re somewhere with a disco ball, bonus points!
