Charlotte's combination of sweet, soft spoken, clever, and competitive (without being vindicative) wins her most appealing personality, although other characters have more interesting personalities. I also like Charlotte's "miko-ish" hairstyle (I dig miko), but it just can't beat Kyou's. Horo comes close on personality due to her playful, teasing side - which is superior to Charlotte's - but Charlotte's personality is just. that. sweet.

Face... I've always thought Yuki had a cute face but Nadeko manages to top even her. I'm not sure what Shaft did here, but more so than any other anime character I can think of, she has an "adorable young girl's face". And Nochgo is right, she has the cutest smile too.

Expressions... for "tsun" expressions, I liked Nochgo's suggestion of Victorique but Taiga edges her out. I actually prefer mature tsunderes (Hitagi/Rin/etc.) to pint-sized ones in general, but for cuteness of tsun, I have to go with tiny. For facial expressions overall, Nadeko is a true WMD (weapon of moe damage).

TL;DR
Fave hair - Kyou
Fave face - Nadeko (with stiff competition from Yuki)
Fave personality - Charlotte (with stiff competition from Horo)
Fave legs - Kyou
Fave eyes - Kyou
Fave smile - Nadeko
Fave expressions (tsun) - Taiga
Fave expressions (general) - Nadeko

BTW, if Matsuri Shihou (Sola) had been competing, she would have won legs and personality, and probably gotten an honourable mention for smile/general expressions. God tier, anyone?

@Archon: I do agree that Tomoyo is probably the most mature of Key's heroines. However, there's other mature heroines I prefer to her both in ISML (Hitagi, Rin, Horo) and outside (Matsuri (Sola), Tomoe (Hana-Saku Iroha), Tsugumi (Ever 17 - okay, VN example)) I tend to prefer. And yes, I do realize that a couple of those actually do lose their cool once or twice.

As for her attempts to be more feminine... no offense, but that came across a bit too "Key personality quirk" for me.

I would have loved to place Shihou Matsuri in front of choices that I have listed already, but alas, Shihou Matsuri is unlikely to return to ISML unless they do 24 episode remake of SOLA with alternate ending.
