Do you say something TO my face or ON my face??
To tell someone something to his face is to lay out the facts in a straightforward (possibly brash) fashion.





To tell someone something on his face... there isn't any such phrase. Although you could tell someone he'd something on his face =/ That'd work.





Hope that helps =P
Reply:it should be to your face ...as in the sentence: Fling those insults to my face and i won't speak to you again...the word on denotes something on top of such as the book is on the table...
Reply:You're right. Speaking directly to you is telling you something to your face.





Now, we also use the expression, "on the face of it," which means "at first glance," or "as it appears at first without further examination."
