Miene ≈ facial expression
Bei "Miene" geht es um die Gefühle. Guckt jemand fröhlich/traurig/wütend/...
Er hat keine Miene verzogen
= Er hat keine Gefühlsregung gezeigt
≈ He kept a stone face / He didn't even flinch
= He didn't show any reaction/emotion)
Miene ist aber etwas verwaltet und wird heutzutage hauptsächlich in festen Redewendungen benutzt.
_____________
Gesicht = face
"Gesicht" meint das Aussehen oder Körperteil.
Er hat ein schönes Gesicht.
Sie hat Sommersproßen im Gesicht.
_______
"Gesicht" means face and is used when talking about the body part or looks.
"Miene" is a somewhat archaic term that refers to the emotional/ facial expression of the face. Nowadays it is mostly used in fixed expressions. (I recommend sticking to those expressions)
