overgroomed
Too meticulously styled
Overgroomed describes excessive attention to personal appearance—hair too perfectly styled, eyebrows too precisely shaped, skin too artificially smooth.
The word suggests vanity or insecurity beneath the polish: He looked overgroomed, like someone who spent two hours getting ready for a casual brunch.
In pet care, overgroomed animals have been brushed or trimmed to the point of skin irritation.
