I've only used that a few times as compared to the north full face (second from the right.) Wearing one gets kinda old but it gets the smoke out. If I were you I'd buy this. The quick release is amazing and it is so much more comfortable than the standard one.

Saw a few with print, here's one.
Saw various plain ones.
I was considering buying a 3M 6500 since i've seen people wear some and they look kinda cool.
Here's a pack of filters that i'd use to pit 3 or 4 with each mask
The first mask I put is about 4k$. The half mask is fairly cheap, I don't know about the smaller one we don't have a lot of those. We use carbon filters since we are mostly dealing with aluminum oxide dust and fluoride gas. She would need painters filters. They get worn out due to use and the amount of dirt, not time. When I was working in the potroom 150 hours per month the filters lasted about 2 months, more for some, less for others. When you start to feel a real resistance breathing it's time to change them out.
The 3M half masks are designed to work with glasses and do so well, some cheaper brands might not.
The full mask does filter better since it is powered and has a huge filter, the smaller one and half don't have a measurable difference, we use the full mask for workers with a full beard. She should be fine with a half mask, the right filters and good ventilation.
I use these cartridges 3M Multi Gas/Vapor Cartridge/Filter 60926, P100 Respiratory Protection
And I don’t smell the spray at all until I take the mask off.
Those cartridges go with this mask: This one
