The "faces" are just "wrinkles," or imperfections, on the moon. The moon is like the earth and has valleys, and mountains. From far, far away, we see "faces" because of the wrinkles.
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

The different faces of the Moon that we see each night are due to its phases, which result from its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, sunlight illuminates different portions of its surface, creating phases such as the new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. This cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete, leading to the varying appearance of the Moon over the course of the month.

During the New Moon phase, the moon is only up during the day but since it faces the sun it is not usually seen except when it passes in front of the sun. This is when a sloar eclipse occurs.
The direction the moon faces changes throughout the night as it moves across the sky. You can determine the moon's current direction by using a compass or a stargazing app that shows its location in real time.
Yes, half of the moon is always lit because it faces the sun.
it has moon faces because as we move around the sun the moon moves around us and the earth gives off a shadow witch makes moon faces.
