With products launching left, right and centre in 2021, it’s rare to come across one that’s not only been around for years, but continues to be discovered and loved by beauty aficionados alike.
The 1000HOUR Lash & Brow Dye Kit is not only the most reviewed brow tint on beautyheaven, but it’s been the number one lash and brow dye kit for over 25 years.
Its popularity is showing no signs of slowing down either. In 2020, 1.2 kits were sold every minute — that’s over eight million lashes and/or brows tinted in one year alone!
Based on the 300+ reviews on beautyheaven, the reason this DIY product is so beloved is because of its long-lasting results and easy at-home application, which rivals that of in-salon brow and lash tints.
“I have been using this dye kit at home for years and I find it gives a great, long-lasting result and means I don’t feel I need to use mascara so often,” wrote bh member CrystalCupcake.
In fact, the brand name 1000HOUR is because the tint lasts for up to six weeks (AKA 1000 hours). Clever huh?
If you’ve never used a DIY tint before but like the sound of it, you’ll be pleased to know the 1000HOUR kit also comes with detailed instructions for impressive results from the get-go.
“The instructions are great and easy to understand,” wrote bh member philippa495.
“Quick and easy to apply and doesn’t stain your skin,” concurred bh member Chloe_Fady.
Here’s just how easy the 1000HOUR Lash & Brow Kits are to use
Step 1. Select your shade — choose from Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown, Blue Black, Brown-Black and Natural Black. If you’re a natural beauty nut, there’s a new gentle plant extract formula available in each shade too. If it’s your first time with either formula, it’s recommended to complete a patch test.
Step 2. If you’re tinting your brows, prep and safeguard the surrounding skin with Vaseline or an emollient skin care product. If tinting your eyelashes, use the under eye guards found in the kits.
Step 3. Mix together the colour cream and liquid colour developer as per the instructions — if you ever lose them, you can download them from the 1000HOUR website!
Step 4. Apply the tint to your lashes or brows using the applicator wand or spoolie found in the kit (a spoolie is similar to a mascara wand and applies the same way making it super easy).
Step 5. Leave for 10 minutes and then wipe away the tint with a damp cotton pad.
bh top tip: Depending on how often you cleanse, your tint will last up to six weeks. In between, we’d recommend using the 1000HOUR Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum to promote natural growth and strengthen your lash and brow hair for extra fullness.
Do you tint your brows? Have you ever tried the 1000HOUR Lash & Brow Dye Kit?
Have never ever used a Lash and Brow Tint will check out the 1000HOUR Lash & Brow Dye Kit glad that it gets such a good review. At the moment I am using a light brown pomade which isn’t permanent, but it lasts all day.
Never tinted my brows or used this product, only Maybelline Brow Tattoo that doesn’t last long. I really need to check 1000HOUR out!
I’ve been buying these for years! I buy black for my lashes & dark brown for my brows.
Never tinted my brows , didn’t know this brand was around for 25yrs either ! Wow
I’ve heard about this product in some of the Forum threads but had never really looked into it. Thanks for this article BH. I don’t have a problem with my lashes, but my brows are almost non-existent (fortunately my fringe is a good disguise). Not sure if this product would work on sparse brows, but it’s worth a try.
I’d like to try it out!
Never used it as my brows don’t need tinting, but definitely it is very popular! Lashes, I just use mascara. If tinted, this will not hold them curled up and tidy (naturally mine go down and zig-zag everywhere, very messy and are light).
Yes, I have used this to tint my lashes, but not my brows. It’s a great product!
Wow this sounds like something
I’ve been using this for a while now and like it. I buy the dark brown. It makes my brows look fuller.
I love to tint my brows because I have naturally light coloured hair. Aren’t 1000HR doing well!?!
Have been using this 1000 Hour Lash & Brow Dye, Dark Brown for a while and love it, but only on my eye brows. Have read some of the reviews and pleased for the product the great reviews it deserves. Give it a try Beauties if you dye your brows.
I have never tried this, I have quite dark eyebrows anyway, but they are thinning a bit as I get older, so something to consider!
This sounds so much easier than I thought it would be. Have been thinking about dying my lashes. The reviews are very convincing and I like the sound of the plant extract formula.
I have black hair and sadly this tint didn’t work for me 🙁
I love this tint, use it all the time and am not alone by the sound of it!
Ive never done anything like this at home but im very tempted.
I have to try this one now after trying the eyelure one.
I have never tinted my brows or lashes but they seriously could do with some help
I wouldn’t mind trying this brand as I haven’t yet.
This is one trend I don’t have to do anything at all and it looks like I am following the trend. My eyebrows have always been full, never plucked and dark brown. Not a grey hair in sight, yet I have them on my head. My daughter does the brow darkening thing.
Would love to try this as my brows are starting to fade in colour.
I’ve been using it for the past 20 years. I use it most often as a brow Tint and it is So Easy I cannot imagine paying a salon for it again.
I’ve used it on Lashes, and also on Lashes after doing at home lash perming and it always works amazingly.
I really can’t recommend it more highly.
Definitely prefer 1000HOUR over Eyelure which I got to trial and gave 1 star eeek sorry I’m honest. Have been using 1000HOUR for YEARS and it’s definitely much stronger and has way more different shades other than just “dark brown”.
Mine are naturally dark and I didn’t over pluck them in the 00’s.
I don’t think my brows are worth tinting. I really need to concentrate on growing them and having them shaped first before I think about tinting.
I’m lucky to have natural dark brows
I’ve been using this on my brows for years (I don’t trust myself to put it any closer to my eyeballs than that so I just use mascara for my lashes). It’s great and I wouldn’t be without it. It took me a while to get up the courage to use it but really it’s incredibly easy to do.
I have quite recently started having my eyebrows tinted. Unfortunately it does not last very long. But does look good for a couple of weeks.
Such a great product!!! there are so many applications worth in the packet so cost per wear is practically nothing.
Never did it.
My eyebrows are really pale and using a pencil or anything ideal for brow tinting is terrible for me so I have resorted to using an eye shadow which works really well for me.
I have a box at home waiting to be tested! I must stop putting it off and do it
I have never tried. I am happy with my current look.
I use an eyebrow pencil
My brows could do with some colour and thickening but I’m not sure that I want to use dye on them
I could use this but my skin is so sensitive to dyes that I’m too afraid to try.
I’ve never actually tried to tint my brows
I have used this product but the result I want only lasts a few days. I was hoping that the skin underneath my brow would stain as well. I still use it when I get a stray grey eyebrow.
Ditto. I have used this product but the result I want only lasts a few days.
I’ve had a professional eye lash tint decades ago. I use an eyebrow pencil daily but I might give this a go. It sounds easy.
that’s awesome, i wash my face of my makeup each night so it only lasts the day
Never tinted my brows… But it looks fab!!!
I saw this on sale at Coles for $10 today – Friday 28 May!

BH, please remove.
With COVID, I’ve just leave my brows natural now.
looks like a very nice product
I’ve been using 1000 Hours now about 12 months. Sure wish I’d known about it years ago. I’m 71 and in ‘my day’ we plucked our eyebrows VERY thin. So very sad about that now but 1000 Hours helps. I use it on my brows and lashes.
I used a tinted brow gel from MCo Beauty.
