Problem is in image orientation.

Can't remember where I took this, but it works:

- (void) detectForFaces:(CGImageRef)facePicture orientation:(UIImageOrientation)orientation {


    CIImage* image = [CIImage imageWithCGImage:facePicture];

    CIContext *context = [CIContext contextWithOptions:nil];                    // 1
    NSDictionary *opts = @{ CIDetectorAccuracy : CIDetectorAccuracyLow };      // 2
    CIDetector *detector = [CIDetector detectorOfType:CIDetectorTypeFace
                                              context:context
                                              options:opts];                    // 3

    int exifOrientation;
    switch (orientation) {
        case UIImageOrientationUp:
            exifOrientation = 1;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationDown:
            exifOrientation = 3;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationLeft:
            exifOrientation = 8;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationRight:
            exifOrientation = 6;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored:
            exifOrientation = 2;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationDownMirrored:
            exifOrientation = 4;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored:
            exifOrientation = 5;
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored:
            exifOrientation = 7;
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }


    opts = @{ CIDetectorImageOrientation :[NSNumber numberWithInt:exifOrientation
                                           ] };

    NSArray *features = [detector featuresInImage:image options:opts];

    if ([features count] > 0) {
        CIFaceFeature *face = [features lastObject];
        NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGRect(face.bounds));
    }
}

How to use:

UIImage *image = // some image here;
[self detectForFaces:image.CGImage orientation:image.imageOrientation];
