Here's a long list of things the Japanese can say with their faces.
However, these are expressions that I never used or don't remember hearing.
顔が立ちません[かおがたちません, kao ga tachimasen] have lost face
顔が立つ [かおがたつ, kao ga tatsu] maintain one’s status; keep face
顔が汚れる[かおがよごれる, kao ga yogareru] lose status; lose all status
顔から日が出る[かおからひがでる, kao kara hi ga deru] blush deeply; redden in the face
顔に泥を塗る[かおにどろをぬる, kao ni doro o nuru] put to shame
顔を売る[かおをうる, kao o uru] become more popular; gain influence
顔を売れた人[かおをうれたひと, kao o ureta hito] a well-known person
顔を貸す[かおをかす, kao o kasu] assist someone in gaining status
顔を汚す
[かおをよごす, kao o yogosu] be ashamed
Have you ever used/heard them?
