big eyes - OK also, blue/brown/hazel/green
straight nose - OK
charming as smiling - charming smile
shape of body looking very strong - well-built, strong frame, toned body
good posture - OK also tall, short, medium-height
low tone of voice - deep voice

How about hair, chin, lips, facial hair, complexion etc.?
