This sentence "どの面下げて" is very important because it is a valuable insulting word in the Japanese language, where the vocabulary for insults is limited.
I've heard that English has a wide range of insulting vocabulary, so I'm not sure if this translation is correct. If there is a better word please let me know.
And please remember this Japanese phrase. In anime and manga, this expression is a common insult.
For example, anyone who returns after failing a mission is always insulted in this way.
どの面下げて戻ってきた! (Dono Tsura Sagete Modottekita!)
How dare you come back!
"どの面" is "what kind of face", "下げて" is "have/carry" in literal translation. And "どの面下げて" means "Situations where it is embarrassing to meet face to face".
Losing face is a great shame for the Japanese. And to criticize someone for losing face is the greatest insult.
