The answer

Al-Qurtubi, in his Tafsir, transmitted from Ibn Abbas and Ubaydah Al-Salmani that a woman should wrap it in such a way that nothing appears from her except one eye through which she can see. And from Ibn Abbas and Qatadah, that she should wrap it above the forehead and tighten it, then turn it over the nose. Even if her eyes are visible, it covers the chest and most of the face. This indicates that covering the face is intended by the verse, in addition to lowering the garment to the ground.
