Selena Gomez Had Something to Say About the “Pretty” Snapchat Filters

Even with Facebook and Instagram creating their versions, Snapchat is the pioneer and the best when it comes to face filters. Almost all celebrities are using this app, including Selena Gomez.

The singer recently pointed out in a Snapchat video that many of the “pretty” filters turn the user’s eyes blue, and when you use the “funny” ones, they don’t change it at all.

Here’s what she had to say in the long-expired video: “Literally every single Snapchat filter has blue eyes,” Gomez said. “But…what if you have brown eyes? Am I supposed to have these eyes to look good?” In another clip, she tried out the enlarged-nose filter and the filter that turns your mouth into an over-sized lemon shape. “They use my brown eyes for this one,” she said about the latter. “I don’t understand; they have all the blue eyes for the [filters] that are really pretty.” Snapchat has a particular effect on society, and while it’s never wrong to play around with the app’s filters, don’t let it negatively impact your standard of beauty, and mess up your sense of self. Gomez ended her post by reminding her followers that “brown eyes are beautiful.” And she couldn’t be more right about that!

I As an actress, Marilyn Monroe, whose real name was Norma Jean Mortenson, became a popular figure for playing blonde bombshell characters on screen. She was the highest paid actress in Hollywood for a decade, ultimately becoming a major pop culture icon, but she had trouble with her speech, stuttering occasionally.

II Marilyn Monroe took the lead role in films like Niagara, How to Marry a Millionaire, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. These films focused on her sexy image, photographs of which were also featured in Playboy magazine, eventually leading her to become typecast as a dumb blonde.

III Marilyn Monroe never knew who her father was. She was already 12 years old when she learned that she had a sister, and she grew up in the town of Hawthorne under the watchful eye of her foster parents, Albert and Ida Bolender. She lived a happy life with the Bolenders.

IV Monroes mother, Gladys Baker, suffered a mental breakdown. As a result, young Norma Jean was shuffled from foster parent to foster parent for a while. She was sexually abused during her stay with George and Maude Atkinson. She was sadly also molested in her second home by Erwin "Doc" Goddard.

V To save herself from being returned to the orphanage after her foster parents had to move elsewhere, Norma Jean decided to marry at the age of 16. She married James Dougherty, a factory worker, and soon decided to quit her studies to become a full-time housewife.

VI The young beauty was discovered after being photographed as a factory worker. This jump started her career as a pinup model and eventually led to acting roles. She borrowed her grandmothers last name, Monroe, while Ben Lyon, who worked for 20th-Century Fox, called her Marilyn since she reminded him of Broadway actress Marilyn Miller.
