It depends what you are referring to with the word "veil". The "hijab" or "headscarf" covers a woman's hair but leaves the face entirely visible similar to a nun's habit. A "niqab" or "face coverer" is worn in conjunction with a hijab and is a piece of cloth that covers everything on a woman's face except for her eyes.

All Muslim female body should be covered, including head and hair, except the face and hands. Cloth should be neither tight (describing the figure) nor transparent (describing what is underneath).
