Synonyms of "Face" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between from my face and on my face ?
A:
They both mean the same thing. In that sentence he is talking about "from my face" saying that he doesn't want the smile to come on his face, so using "from" in the same way as "remove". so he wants to remove the smile but the smile is still there. if he said "it's hard to keep this smile ON my face" then he would be saying there is no smile on his face, he wants a smile but he can't smile. but when he says from he means that the smile is on his face but he doesn't want the smile there.
Q:
What is the difference between how can you lie to my face? and how could you lie to my face? ?

"how could you lie to my face" = you lied previously. How were you able to lie so easily
But both are saying "I am upset because you lied to me," it's just a difference of when the lie happened.
"how can you lie to my face" = you're lying right now. How are you lying so easily right now.
"how could you lie to my face" = you lied previously. How were you able to lie so easily

Q:
What is the difference between He is insecure about his face. and He is not confident about his face. ?
A:
Being insecure is the same as not being confident towards something in particular. There’s not much difference. However, in my opinion if you’re going to specify a certain feature that someone is not confident about, then using the word “insecure” would sound more natural and richer in vocabulary. If you’re not going to specify a certain feature, then go with “not confident.”
Example:
-She/He ’s insecure about her/his body.
-She/He ’s not confident
Example:
-She/He ’s insecure about her/his body.
-She/He ’s not confident
