Snapchat's new filter in honor of Marie Curie gives you a full face of makeup — and people aren't happy

Marie Curie was known for a lot of things: her pioneering physics research, winning two Nobel Prizes, and paving the way for female scientists. 

So it struck a lot of people as a little odd that Snapchat's filter to commemorate Curie on International Women's Day provided the wearer with a smooth complexion, long, thick eyelashes, and a perfect smoky eye. 

Snapchat made two more filters to honor the day — one for Rosa Parks and another for Frida Kahlo — which celebrated what both women were known for. While Curie's filter has a cute animation where a test tube blows up and temporarily covers the user's face in soot, it quickly disappears and leaves behind a full face of makeup.

Several women took to Twitter to express their displeasure that Curie's filter seems to focus on making the user prettier. Here are some of the reactions.

good thing the Marie Curie snapchat filter gives you pretty eyelashes, otherwise you wouldn't be able to tell she was a woman scientist 🙃
