Face Overlapping Edge

Question

I just recently started using Blender, so I am new to this.

Currently I'm working on a model of a mask. For that I created a flat rectangular shaped block, where I'm trying to cut out eye holes using the boolean modifier and a cylinder.

After applying the boolean modifier I fixed the ngons and removed doubles. Now I get the unwanted result of a face overlapping the edges of my mesh:

As you can see the marked area creates an overlapping face. In the render it will look like a rotated square:

I appreciate all the help.

Concave polygons can cause artifacts. Could you explain your topology necessities for this project? — Carlo, Aug 24 '18 at 15:11
Well the at the end it should simply be a wooden mask with two eye holes carved into it. The project is just for learning purpose. — josias, Aug 25 '18 at 04:41

As previously said by Carlo: "Concave polygons can cause artifacts" because Blender is not sure how he is supposed to fill the surface between the vertices.

So here is a better way to make a hole in a 4x4 surface. I think you should avoid Booleans as much as possible, especially for such a simple operation. To make a hole you can simply select the central point and delete it. Then to round the shape, select the edge loop and use the LoopTools addon > Circle. Then you can extrude once, then scale down the extrusion, give it the shape you want, etc...

Would be good if you could add some information as to why their current method isn't working. – Ray Mairlot Aug 24 '18 at 16:26
