The look on his face is different from what he’s thinking. For example, you can say “I’m fine” but you look sad.
She said she’s not angry but the look on her face tells me that she is.

“I could tell from.... that.... ” is a common phrase in English.
Examples:
“I could tell from the laughter and music that the party was lively.”
“I could tell from his frowning face that he had bad news.”
Here is another way of saying those sentences that might help your understanding:
“His frowning face made me think he had bad news.”
“The music and laughter made me think the party was lively.”
I hope this helps!

@Sannettie I have another question, "from the look on his face" is commonly used in your conversation???
- Vietnamita
@Sannettie I think your feelings will definitely express on your face so what you think in your mind sometimes express on the look. Right?

@aceituna21 I have another question,
“His frowning face MADE me THINK he had bad news.” means : "“His frowning face TOLD me he had bad news.” THEY HAVE SAME MEANING, right?
“His frowning face MADE me THINK he had bad news.” means : "“His frowning face TOLD me he had bad news.” THEY HAVE SAME MEANING, right?

@satthusketchup yes, the meaning is basically the same.
There is a slight difference.
“TOLD ME” is more certain than “MADE ME THINK.” But in this context, the speaker does not actually know for a fact how the other person feels. So “told me” is just a more confident way of saying “made me think.”
