I have to admit, I think I prefer the SoD version of the face. I dunno, she just looks really, really young in this new iteration. It's not that she looks bad, but now it looks like even Triss is older then her. (Kind of reminds me of a Girl I work with... Who is 15...)
However, even Geralt & Ciri looked a little funky in their "Cosplay Guides", the stance and expression used for these is a little odd, but they look much better in-game with all the movement and expressions changing, so hopefully Yen will too. Ultimately she's fine, but yea - just a little too baby faced - I'll still be happy with this though.

I had a similar reaction initially, I felt something was off. But then I realized it's because there's no expression to the face. The face morphs and expressions are jaw-dropping this time around IMO. Rockstar tried doing facial expressions right in LA Noire and I think they failed miserably. CDPR on the other hand did a stellar job in that department in TW3. Even Geralt looked a bit strange in the cosplay guide but seeing him in game and how his face animates makes it a million times better.
I'll wait till I see some footage of her talking and interacting with other characters (I really hope CDPR releases such footage).

Well...in Sword of Destiny (Sapkowski's book) Dandelion says Yennefer has the skin of a 16 years old girl.
I agree. In fact, I think this is the same model in the SOD trailer, only we can't get a full idea of her looks until we see it in action in the game. It's like all the confusion with Geralt's face because he's looked different in various scenes so far despite being ( most likely) the same model. I imagined her with a harder more mature look, but they've done a great job with the face. My only niggle is the same with the other models - the high heel boots. Every woman has them now, although they look slightly more fitting on Yen. Another remarkable thing with RED engine is the subtlety of the facial complexions.

I need to re-read the damn books, I've forgotten so many little bits and pieces. Although I guess I have only read it once.
I'm ok with young face, but I still feel like she looks younger than Triss and that's a little weird to me.
However as everyone is saying, and even I said it, we'll have to wait to see her in motion. Everyone has looked a little odd in their Cosplay Guide iterations, but they look amazing in-game, so I look forward to seeing her properly at some point, I'm sure I'll probably end up gawking and not give a shit about "youthful nitpicking".
Oh and her Costumes are fucking amazing. As usual CDPR's Armor/Clothing design is just impeccable. Whether you agree with the heels or not, the details and overall style of it all just looks superb. Especially that non-travel one, that costume alone had me nodding my head with a massive grin on my face...

This is how I think that should be the Yennefer face, with a wider jaw. Currently she has a younger face than she should have.
As for Yennefers case the high heeled boots are fine since Yennefer is a sorceress also she is doesn't strike me as a very practical person. Sorceresses often appear in courts and castles and go to their clinics,potion shops whatever so they often have to looks their best. In the books she's always fixing her hair and shit like that so she's concerned about her appearance and uses it often to get what she wants.
Ciri however..is swordsman who spent years in the fightings pits so yeahh... #Ciriaintnoslut #ShorterHeelsforCiri although I understand CDPRs creativity can get a bit too romantiscized Ciri's heels is detremental to her character.
Her face changed a lot more than little bit:It seems Yen's face changed quite a bit (also yay for black hair).http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/31683-The-Witcher-Cosplay-Guide-Yennefer
And for me Yennefer drom SoD trailer was waay better
Looking at that side by side comparison with the trailer, I actually don't think it has changed as much as it may appear at first glance. Given that the focal settings they use to capture the cosplay screenshots has a bit of distortion, I think her facial structure is largely the same. The biggest differences I think come from the texture work for the skin, lips, eyes, and hair and they give a larger perception of change than there really is.
There may be some slight changes made to the shape of the chin and the eyes, along with a slight bump in hair volume, but I think it's still fairly close. Look at the nose and lips, they are still exactly the same shape.

They didn't even change SoD from the current one only the texture maybe but the proportions of her face are exactly the same.Her face changed a lot more than little bit:

I feel like they just rushed Yennefers appearance in SoD or maybe they were still working on lighting and shit like that.
I gotta say I like everything about her design she's really unique compare to every other female in games so GOOD JOB CDPR!
She has small breast in books, her body is fine. Im just dissapointed by her face. The differences between SoD and cosplay Yennefers are: chin, eyes, cheeks, lips. This makes she looks like different person. Im not sure that those things looks different because of lighting.
Hmmm... I don't like it how she looks like now. In my opinion, Yennefer from SoD trailer was perfect, she only needed black hair and purple eyes well visible. Also, on personal note, she now has too much cheek makeup for my tastes.

She needed more curls too
On a serious note, I think that all the "weirdness" complained in her face is due to the stance and the expression used for this guide.I personally didn't like her appearance in SoD trailer, she was not particular, she had more a common face. I like her new appearance now.
About the makeup, yes, a bit.

I didn't find her face "common"... she was more attractive imo. And really, all that makeup wasn't necessary... I know I said it before, but it REALLY seems to me that all the major female characters shown so far (and even that herbalist in the gameplay video) look too much like porn actresses. I get it, it's a matter of taste, but I don't like it.She needed more curls too
