Face covering (4)

I think it could be either:

veil

mask

'face covering' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for veil that I've seen before include "Nun's headdress" , "Bridal face covering" , "Material over face" , "To obscure" , "Nun's head-covering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Universal, The Independent, the LA Times, The Telegraph, The Star Tribune and The Times.
