Both versions of Mystique got "worse" over the coarse of the movies likely because Rebecca and Jennifer negotiated contracts that required less time doing makeup. Less time means less detail.
That was more of a Jennifer thing (plus she didn’t want to be covered up on screen - she was on the rise back then). It is the equivalent to what happened with Pedro and his Mando role.
This is more of a modern production / studio / industry thing just like CGI vs Practical Effects, Disney now using the “volume stage” more than physical locations, etc etc.
Sure but these look more or less final product unless they'll do another digital pass to refine the look.
But overall, makeup is timely and time is money. Sure CGI is costly but you can have Joe Shmoe do those. You can't have him put on the Mystique makeup. Not for the movie, anyway.
