When Huda Kattan appears in public, she's greeted by the kind of adoring fans you might usually associate with A-list Hollywood stars.

As part of the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of her cosmetics brand, Huda Beauty, she took over a Parisian building not far from the Eiffel Tower, and is almost everything inside bright pink.

There are makeup stations filled with her products, neon signs and glamorous people everywhere.

The fans waiting in the street scream when she arrives. Inside, guest influencers and makeup professionals chant her name as she climbs the stairs: "Hu-da, Hu-da, Hu-da."

People line up to take a selfie with her - some even burst into tears when she hugs them.

While it all happens that, Kattan's smile never falters.
