Her face never looked like that before the update in the same area and light I took those pictures. In fact, before the update, she looked beautiful in almost any lighting. The only exceptions were very few weird lighting moments (sometimes in cutscenes) that affected the other races the same way and made them look horrible/deranged, like that certain spot in Old Gridania. Also, I find that the lighting/shading in the picture you picked clashes with the corners of her mouth.
