What is a pejorative word that describes someone who cares only about their own and others' appearances and cares nothing for personality to the point of obsession? Something that fits in like: 'The son had inherited his mother's ______'. Shallow is not the word I'm looking for - it wouldn't exactly fit in that sentence (and shallowness seems a bit awkward). Vanity is the closest word I have to a fit, but it only describes an excessive care of oneself and not others.
