Uuuhhh did you EVEN watch the movie?
She doesn't WANT to look like Jennifer Lawernce. She wants to look like HERSELF, her actual blue scaley self, but can't.
Hank even calls her pretty and she responds back with, "you might as well be complimenting my shoes."
The whole xmen thing is pretty obviously a metaphor for the oppression against the LGBT.
Sure a gay person could pass for straight, but that's not who they really are, therefore some dont feel comfortable about themselves or their identitys, just like Mystique.

And I find it pretty funny how you go on and on about how hard women have it and are always pressured to look pretty and nothing else, yet you completely discard her problems because she's conventually attractive. Your hypocrisy is showing buddy.

She doesn't WANT to look like Jennifer Lawernce.

Yet funnily enough she repeatedly makes the choice to. Does she choose an ugly/fat/disabled face to show to the world? NOPE, she chooses a goddess, because when you have that POWER why not go whole hog, right?

Except apparently without her powers, Mystique doesn't look ugly and isn't fat or disabled; she looks like Jennifer Lawrence. It's not her "default" appearance because it's a simulacrum of a conventionally attractive woman, but because if she wasn't a mutant, that's what she'd look like.
Since the character was created so either her blue naked form or human mask are beautiful, blame the writers/illustrators, not the character. That's like blaming Jennifer Lawrence for not gaining a hundred pounds because she should chose to be fat so people won't be jealous/there'll be a fat Hollywood darling (until she stops getting roles because she's fat.) --a fat woman.
