We don't live in a world of 'should'. If you want to present a professional image, as a woman, that's what you do. If their stupid enough to hire you because of it, great. In reality, it will be the combination of tiny nudges that give you an edge over equally competent candidates: that is the reality of the world. Just like they'll pick the clean-shaven guy, because he looks more professional. Or the taller guy, because he looks better at being in charge. Or the person with the more desirable accent (who has learnt to codeswitch away from their mother accent, for the work environment), or the person who dressed more 'professionally' as defined by the profession and their gender.

It is what it is: use your advantages, or don't. But they are certainly advantages you have access to.

A guy in my office got his eyebrow ring hooked in the strap of his bag as he was taking it off at his interview, and he still got the job over a bunch of other applicants. It all depends where you are applying.
