The store’s concept is “Japanese Digital Garden.” With the motif of a Japanese garden, the shop uses materials, the sounds of water, and pulsing lights, for a distinctly Japanese style interior design.

The store stretches from the basement first floor to the second floor. Each floor has a different concept to cater to the visitors on each floor. Let’s take a look for ourselves what each floor is like in detail!

The concept of the first floor is “beauty and play.”

At the “Make Me Up” area, you can find digital testers help you compare products and even simulators that allow you to snap a photo of your own face and see what you look like when using different products. Experience and enjoy the latest technology available, and enjoy your time shopping.

By just taking a photo, you can virtually try out 30 different foundation colors and find the one that suits you best at the “Foundation Bar.” It’s not just for the Japanese, but people of any skin color can find the foundation that suits their skin color here.

The concept on the second floor is “Bringing out beauty.” Here you can have direct and indirect skincare and makeup lessons.

The main aim is to use an app and access the online skincare and makeup lessons. Both do not require reservations, and are free of charge.

The skincare lesson is a video that explains skincare to you in detail, plus the exercises to do to get the expected results, and recipes for recommended foods. For the makeup lesson, one huge plus is that you can take a video of yourself while having the course, and review it when you’re at home.

It’s a floor where you can experience the uniqueness of the Shiseido Global Flagship Store beyond just a single visit.

The second floor also has free original wrapping and engraving services. The wrapping paper features the images of origami and mizuhiki ribbon, and be it as something for yourself or as a present or souvenir, you’ll definitely be delighted!

The engraving services allow you to engrave a mark of your choice and is an option only available at the flagship store. If you’re there, do make use of the service!

The concept for the basement first floor is “Awakening beauty.” While the first and second floors focus on honing beauty from the outside, the basement first floor was created for refining beauty from within. Here, you can try out the Somadome, Japan’s first prototype meditation capsule.

Once you enter the capsule, you can experience a variety of sounds, lights, aromas, and temperatures, according to the audio guide. In this zone, disconnected from everyday life stresses, why not take a moment to rest yourself?

The audio guide is available in Japanese, English, and Chinese.

*Reservations needed, approximately 30 minutes, 4,000 yen (without tax)

At the Shiseido Global Flagship Store, in place of a cart, the Sconnect wristband is used, and it can record the results of your experiences too. Record the items you want to buy in the Sconnect wristband, and you can collect your buys directly from the cash register, allowing you to enjoy a hands-free shopping experience.

The Sconnect is available in three languages, Japanese, English, and Chinese. When doing product searches and trying testers in the shop, the information will be shown in the language which you selected. As foreign visitors can use it with ease too, it’s a beautifully convenient point.
