It's just the cultural prerogative, though, that a woman gleam every non-scalp hair from their body, masterfully paint her face at least once a day, to basically perform all the maintenance necessary to widen the sexual differences between male and female.
Largely done to fit into what a woman is supposed to look like -- color outside those lines and society will scorn, no doubt! Also, of course, to cater to male gaze. A woman who doesn't spend all that effort on herself is not even really a woman, they'd hear. Odd how femininity is tied to cultural practices of beauty in most peoples' minds.
So, yeah, it's safe to say women are more self-obsessed, and it's safe to say that the pressure to remain that way must be intense.
Or naturally programmed.

So naturally programmed? Also, women "paint their face" not just for the male gaze but also to establish their place within the female hierarchy. Generally, the prettier and healthier females tend to have higher status within the female hierarchy.

Just as men are pressured into earning money, being strong and maintaining status. Or is it natural internal pressure rather than societal pressure?
Is it society that's pressuring women or is it that women naturally gravitate towards it? Not sure where you live but in the US, society and media are pressuring women not towards femininity but masculinity. I just saw an army ad and there was a lot of female representation in it when females make up a tiny portion of the army. Even in the army, where you don't wear much makeup, I bet women take more selfies and share them.
Could it be that females in general are just more naturally programmed into sharing and communicating with people?
Of course for most of human history (including now in some parts, and maybe again soon in Western nations) men painted their faces too. And wore high heels. The history of makeup and self adornments doesn’t in any way support your hypothesis. It’s like people who think that girls naturally gravitate to the color pink while remaining blissfully ignorant of how recent a marketing construction that really is, and how pink is perceived in other cultures.
