YSL BEAUTY LOVE GAME TOKYO UNDERGROUND

A limited time event being held at Omotesando Hills from July 3 to 6, 2025
YSL BEAUTY LOVE GAME TOKYO UNDERGROUND" is being held at Omotesando Hills from July 3 to 6, 2025!

This is an interactive event where you can immerse yourself in the world of Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, and enjoy a photogenic space and touch-ups of the latest cosmetics.
Here is a detailed report on what it was like to actually go, the lineup, the contents we experienced, and our recommendations.

I went without a reservation...and the line was pretty long!

I went on a weekday after midnight. You can get a very cute fan at the main entrance of Omotesando Hills, the venue. The silver hearts also had a reflector effect, so it was a nice present.

This time, I went on the day of the event without making a reservation on line. As it turned out... there was quite a line!
You might want to wear shoes that you are used to because there is a line even after the entrance.

Especially on weekends and after work, it will be crowded and there will be a long line.
You must make a reservation on line in advance to enter Space O, so if you are planning to go, I strongly recommend making a reservation on the official YSL BEAUTY line in advance!

Impressions of the contents you experienced

Successfully got a sample in the blush game!

I challenged the field hockey game-like section using YSL's new blush "Make Me Blush"! You have to shove the small case toward the hole with your finger, and to my surprise, I succeeded in one shot!
The staff said, "Congratulations! and applause from the staff, and I received a blush sample.

A fun and affordable game experience, this is definitely a must-do!

There was a long line for the popular tarot!

The Lip Finder (tarot-style diagnosis) corner in the venue was very popular.
By entering your birth month and blood type, the perfect lip color for you is diagnosed, just like fortune-telling.

However...when I went there, there was quite a line and I had to give up.
If you really want to try it, the trick is to come early in the day!

Wall monitors for beauty diagnosis

Another interesting feature was the beauty diagnosis corner, where visitors answered a series of questions displayed on a monitor embedded in the wall.
As you answer the questions, YSL recommends cosmetics to you, which is a great way to find out which items are right for you!
