It looks slightly different in Halloween 2 because they used different actors. The actor in Halloween, Nick Castle, had a long, thin face. The actor in Halloween II, Dick Warlock, had a round face. This caused the mask to be stretched, and caused a slightly different appearance.

Why did Michael Myers' mask change so much?
He has the same basic image, the pale white emotionless face. But each mask in each film (apart from 1981's Halloween II because it was the same mask used in the original film) had their minor differences. This is commonly believed to avoid a copyright issue.
What happened to Michael Myers mask in Halloween 2?
Near the end of the film, he takes his mask off for a brief moment because John Carpenter wanted to ``juxtapose a normal human face with the horrible actions he committed in the movie.'' In the ``Thorn Trilogy'' (4, 5, and 6) he wears a mask to cover the burns he got from the end of the 2nd movie.
