to get in their faces
In other words: If I have to be confrontational and abrasive to "tell it like it is", then that is damn well what I'm going to do."
Feliz Natal. Boa sorte. Have a nice day.

Comment: "Thanks, Robert. This is more or less the version I've opted to use. The other answers offered misinterpreted the true meaning of the original phrase. Thanks :)"

: I don't know which English-speaking market this is being written for, but "getting up close and personal" in the US implies emotional, and even physical, intimacy.... ;-)

"Say something outright" is also similar. Usually, you "joga na cara" things that the person has done and you feel are wrong or the favors you have done to someone but they forgot. If you check out that Google search you´ll get the idea. :)

Robert Forstag
: To "throw something in someone's face", in English, means to unfairly bring up something terrible, unpleasant, or embarrassing he or she did a long time ago (e.g., a wife who, during a marital argument, mentions an affair her husband had 10 years ago).

That is exactly what "jogar na cara" means but it doesnt have to be something that happened a *long* time ago. It could be something that happened yesterday, for instance. :)

throw in someone's face (see explanation)
It's an American expression that means exactly the same as in Portuguese. It's not the same as "confront". The meaning here is more "to remind someone of something that the other person confessed or was found to do wrong in the past." The American Heritage Dictonary of Idioms gives the following example:
trow in someone's face - Dean keeps throwing her poor driving record in her face.
trow in someone's face - Dean keeps throwing her poor driving record in her face.
