Carly Fiorina, the only female Republican presidential candidate, hit back at Donald Trump after he said that her face makes her unelectable.

While speaking to the National Federation of Republican Women on Friday in Arizona, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO turned Trump's words from a put-down, into an asset by encouraging the audience to do exactly what he demanded, 'Look at that face!'

'Ladies, look at this face. This is the face of a 61-year-old woman. I am proud of every year and every wrinkle,' Fiorina said to start her speech.

'And look at all of your faces. The face of leadership … in our party, the party of women's suffrage.'
