This isn't the first time BioWare used a face model that doesn't look anything like the in-game version. Sometimes they're spot on (Mark Vanderloo as Shepard, Jillian Murray as Liara), sometimes the similarities are very superficial (Victorria Johnson as Morrigan, Alleykatze as Leliana).
I think technical issues could factor into this. Some character models don't react well to certain lighting, which is why Miranda Lawson (modeled after yvonne Strahovski) looks very odd in non-cinematic lighting. I think the theory that they intentionally make women ugly to appease to "SJWs" is very far-fetched.
Well, up until the release of ME:A, the character design of Miranda Lawson was basically the poster child of diving head-first into the deep end of the uncanny valley. So it's not like ME:A is especially egregious here.
