I have read that the word can be pronounced おもて、おも、めん and つら, and all of them are translated as "face". When should I use each pronunciation?

By the way, I know that the word for "face" is [kao], so I think  is just used in expressions like "face to face" or "lying to my face", where the real meaning is "in front of somebody" and not a literal "face". Is that right?

Thanks.
