One quote from Jack painting faces in "Lord of the Flies" is: "We'll have to look like we fought for it" (Golding, 63). This shows Jack's belief in the importance of appearance and deception. Additionally, "He capered toward Bill, and the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness" (Golding, 64) highlights how the mask allows Jack to embrace his savage instincts.
Ralph refuses to paint faces in "Lord of the Flies" because he believes it is unnecessary and a waste of time. He values practical tasks that will help them be rescued rather than focusing on superficial appearances like the boys who paint their faces. Additionally, Ralph sees painting faces as a regression to savagery and a symbol of their descent into chaos on the island.

As the boys spend more time on the island they turn more towards savagery and less from civilized behavior. They start by painting their faces to hide their fear from the other boys. Also Jack kills a pig which shows fearlessness.
Jack painting his face in "Lord of the Flies" symbolizes his descent into savagery and loss of civilization. It allows him to hide his identity and embrace his primal instincts, leading to increased violence and chaos among the boys on the island. This act ultimately drives a wedge between the boys and contributes to the breakdown of their society.

The twins suggest it so that they can hide their faces and find courage before going to see Jack.
Jack could represent the pig's head, and the flies could represent Jack's followers, how they are practically "swarming" around him.
Jack never died
In the chapter Painted Faces And Long Hair Jack tells his hunters, "They don't smell me. they see me, I think. Something pink under the trees." He then smears clay on his body and explains that it might work as camouflage
