I'm not so sure that woman is a "shapeshifter". When the police showed up at Isaac's apartment, she altered the surroundings to make it appear as though Simone was still alive. If she were strictly a shapeshifter, a la Mystique, she never could've done that.
Her true power is more likely to be casting illusions, or altering the mind's eye perceptions in others. This is pretty powerful, but it would prevent her from being able to forge fingerprints and retinal scans like Mystique often does.

I saw the actress that plays Candice do an interview thingy on
Attack of the Show, she called her a "manipulator of reality." I dunno how much people trust the actors on their thoughts on those things, but yeah you're right, it's definitely illusion as opposed to shapeshifting.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
