GINZA SIX EDITORS Vol.12(Beauty)
每次访问GINZA SIX,全身的细胞都会被跃动的感觉所包围。这里是一家大型的“审美眼”和非同寻常的“讲究”,是为了熟知优质知识的大人而设置的大型“精品店”。时尚和美容的前面的“女性形象”都可以想象。与其说是买“东西”,不如说是能享受“朱鹮”的空间。特别是在美容区,这种感觉达到了最大值。
首先想去的是“迪奥美丽银莎”。是向世界展示最先进的流行趋势的特别空间。
其中,带有迪奥唇彩的“唇彩工作室”是最精彩的部分。充实得让人忍不住呼吸。
红色和米色都很在意,但是可能会有意想不到的邂逅? 抱着这样的期待,和化妆师大川朋美商量。总是用什么颜色的口红搭配才好呢?
“颜色自不必说,质感和完成度等多种多样,希望大家能配合肤色、心情、时尚搭配”(大川)于是,您选择的是橙色系的口红迪奥液体442“IMPETUOUS SATIN”。到现在为止如果不适合自己的话,就会被拿到手的颜色让人兴奋不已。
实际上,仔细涂抹的话,好像不是平时的自己,非常新鲜。意外的是,我发现皮肤和牙齿看起来很明亮。这样的话,无论是黑色的基本针织衫,还是剪发牛仔裤等休闲装扮都很合适。在这里,可以自由拿到手上,也可以和专业人士商量,就像衣服一样“试穿”唇彩。
竟然一转眼就刻上了名字,为自己独一无二的一本。为了迎接假期的到来,不仅是对努力的自己的奖励,如果能和伴侣一起去拜访作为礼物的话,我会很开心的。男性们也最适合选择送给她和夫人的礼物。
下次想去的是《圣罗兰·博特》。日本第一个布拉古船时装店,准备了很多只有这里才有的服务和限定商品。
特别值得注意的是面向VIP会员的私人房间“RECORDING STUDIO”。预约的话,从简单的护理到戏剧性的化妆,竟然可以“独占”60分钟。同伴也可以,可以和朋友、伴侣一起享受。另外,除了可以通过Blue Tooth连接智能手机可以听到自己喜欢的音乐的扬声器外,还配备了拍摄化妆情况的工具和监视器。因为照明的调光也是可以的,所以可以接受工作和晚餐等场景不同的化妆建议。
顺便说一下,要成为VIP,一年购买10万日元的条件。难吗? 不,只要把Ev Sanrolan的最高峰老化护理线,“Olage”的3种商品,大概就能清除。至福的老化护理体验×感动的RECORDING STUDIO体验,绝对推荐。
除此之外,还有香氛、护肤、爱布罗等3种GINZA SIX限定的咨询服务。我拜托时装经理守口纯司先生,体验了爱布罗咨询。“让他的眉毛看起来美丽的基本画法自不必说,还提出了符合自己想要的形象的变化”(守口)。想遇到“更早”的自己。预订确定了。
另外,在香氛角,不仅有向伊夫·桑罗兰的爱科尼克风格献上了致敬的香氛收藏品“露维尔蒂埃尔德帕尔法姆”,还有只有在这里才能买到的“卢威尔德帕尔法姆尼”3种(丘伊尔、维尼尔、贝罗亚)也齐全。
啊,再过一会儿就迎来了值得纪念的生日,送给憧憬的女性吧。……? 商量后发现“也有从4种丝带中选择的礼物包装哦”(守口)。对于熟知高品质的时尚女友来说,无论是讲究的香味还是时尚的包装,一定会让人高兴的。
离开GINZA SIX的时候,感觉背脊挺直,嘴角紧紧地上升了。想用这张脸去找衣服和鞋……其他楼层也想慢慢去拜访。这就是“美丽的打击”。发现新的自己,对新的自己兴奋不已。这一定是大人才需要的体验。

Every time I visit GINZA SIX, I find myself surrounded by a world and sensibility that seems to bring all the cells in my body to life. The aesthetic here is extraordinary, and a keener zest for detail is clearly evident. It’s like an enormous mixed-brand boutique for adults who understand refinement. You can clearly visualize the image of the woman behind all this fashion and beauty. In a sense, it’s more a space for enjoying your time than for purchasing products. This sensibility reaches a pinnacle in the beauty zone.
I go first to Dior Beauty Ginza, a distinctive space that communicates the latest trends to the world.
Within the store you’ll find the stunning Lip Studio, which shows an extensive array of Dior lip colors—enough to take your breath away.
I’m taken by the reds and beiges, but something else here will also take me by surprise. In an eager, hopeful frame of mind, I consult with makeup artist Tomomi Okawa and hear her advice on the single best color for an orange dress, something with which I’m never sure what lipstick color to wear.
“We have a large array of colors, of course, but a wide range of textures and finishes, too,” Ms. Okawa tells me. “Try a few that match your skin color, your mood, and the clothes you wear.” What she chooses for me is the orange-hued Rouge Dior Liquid 442—“Impetuous Satin.” I’m excited to apply a color I wouldn’t have tried before, because I wouldn’t have thought it would look all that good on me.
When she carefully brushes on this color, it feels very fresh—almost like a new me. Unexpectedly, I also notice that my skin and teeth look brighter. The color would go well with a basic black knit, I think, or a casual look, with something like cut-off jeans… So, instantly, the decision was made. Here, you can try the products on your own or consult with a professional—meaning you can try on a lip color just as you would a skirt or top.
In no time at all, they’ve engraved my name on the tube. I now have a lipstick just for me. With the holiday season approaching, this would make the perfect little reward to yourself for all your hard work. Or it would be a treat if you could come with a partner and suggest it as a present. If you’re a guy, it would make a delightful gift for your wife or girlfriend.
I next head to Yves Saint Laurent. The GINZA SIX location offers services and exclusive items available only here at the brand’s first flagship boutique in Japan.
In particular, what is noteworthy is a private room for VIP members called the Recording Studio. You can reserve it for your own exclusive use for an hour for anything from a simple treatment to a dramatic makeover. You can also bring someone else so you can enjoy the room together with a friend or partner. The amenities let you connect your smartphone via Bluetooth to listen to your favorite music over the sound system. The room’s also equipped with an image-stabilizing device and other tools for filming yourself during the makeup session. Plus, you can adjust the lighting to re-create the light in an office or at a dinner party, which lets you try out different looks depending on the activity or event you have in mind.
To become a VIP, you need to spend 100,000 yen annually. That sounds like a lot at first, but it’s not, really. You can more or less reach that amount with the purchase of around three “Eau Rouge” items, the brand’s top anti-aging line. With zero hesitation, I recommend getting the ultimate anti-aging experience in the dazzling space created in the Recording Studio.
The GINZA SIX location also offers three exclusive types of consulting services: fragrance, skincare, and eyebrows. I choose an eyebrow consultation with boutique manager Junji Moriguchi. “I’ll show you the basics of how to draw and line to accentuate the beauty of a specific person’s eyebrows, of course, and propose variations based on the image the person has in mind,” Mr. Moriguchi tells me. I find myself curious to meet the future me. Reservations are recommended.
The fragrance area features Le Vestiaire des Parfums, a fragrance collection that pays homage to Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic style, as well as three types of Le Vestiaire des Parfums Nuit (Cuir, Vinyle, Velours) available only here.
Hmm… Maybe I should get this for a woman I admire who’s about to reach a milestone birthday… I ask Mr. Moriguchi, and he tells me they offer gift wrapping with four types of ribbons. My guess is a stylish, refined woman would be delighted to receive a distinct fragrance in a stylish package.
As I leave GINZA SIX, I feel my spine straighten and the corners of my mouth turn up. With this posture in mind, I’m inspired to go look for clothes or shoes and take my time going through the other floors. This is what I call “beauty shock”—the possibility of finding a new self and the eagerness and excitement at the prospects. It’s an essential experience for any adult.
