Steps:
1. Create a male Aura
2. Choose face 1
3. Check the mouths

For face 1 Au’ra, they removed the dimples at the edge of the lips. This causes the Au’ra face 1 to look very different from 6.58. But they kept the smile on face 2 and the dimples on face 3. So, I would like to report it as a bug.

Face 3 hasn't kept its mouth shape at all. It's in the same situation as yours – the previous slight smile is entirely gone.

You can see it in the screenshots you took. Instead of curving upwards at the corners, there are now hard downward folds forcing the mouth into a frown.

Yes, I can see that. But since the 7.0 update, other races have had issues with mouth shapes not matching the 6.58 version. And on Aura male face 1, the whole dimple and slight smile are missing, the parts are missing, it's a bug. So I'm not sure if I can put the mouth shape issue in the same report.

The other thing that I've realised – and from the comparison pictures it seems to affect all of the faces – is that the shadow under the bottom lip is much stronger and gives the character a pouting look, in addition to the loss of the smile.
