1000 Hour Professional Formula Lash and Brow Kit - Defined Brows with a Long-Lasting Formula with Eyebrow Mascara - Brow Gel for Stunning Brows that Last Up To 6 Weeks with 12 Applications - (Black)

I have been using this product for years to dye my eyelashes. It’s very easy to use and will last up to about 6 weeks depending on whether you use harsh soaps or products to clean your face. They have gone through a rebranding or packaging, but it’s still the same great dye. I use the black. My lashes are very long, but they are blonde so the dye makes a big difference for me. I first started dying them when my eyes watered so bad from allergies that I couldn’t wear mascara. That was about 20 years ago and been doing it ever since. There are some that are just for brows so make sure when ordering that you choose correctly if you wish to color your lashes. 😊

This original formula works the best. I have found that you need to mix the color and developer extensively, then let it sit before applying for more control. Don't worry about "10 drops", just focus on the consistency. I also use my own stiffer mascara wand as the type supplied are too soft to be useful. On natural light blonde hair (with invisible eyelashes and eyebrows) black brown is perfect. It does not stain your skin and lasts longer than anything else I have used. I prefer the original (this product) to the new formula. The gel is very hard to apply correctly and stains your skin, so you have to get it just right or the results are noticeably bad. It also transfers onto your pillow case. As you finally get it off of your skin, it wears off of your eyebrows just as quickly.

Easy to mix and apply, color is nice and does not leave an orange discoloring like some dyes do. Only issue I have is it washes off pretty quickly.

I’ve been using this eyelash dye for 4 years now. I love it, I have not had to wear mascara in the last 4 years. Some things to note as I have been using this for so long: I have not ever had any problems with skin irritation or lasting eye irritation, and have not had an excess of eyelashes fall out or anything. I tend to extend the time between uses to about 10-12 weeks, when it is completely gone I’ll redo it. I use Vaseline all the way around my whole eye before applying the dye, as it makes it so that it won’t stain the skin and can wiped off. If you get this in your eyes while applying, you will instantly feel your eyes begin to burn, and you should not attempt to save it. Just wash everything all the way off, rinse your eye extremely well, and try again tomorrow when your eye has had a chance to recover. After the first couple of attempts, l learned to apply to the roots of the lashes from the outside of the eye, instead of the inside like you’d do for mascara. Avoid getting any on the waterline, or it will make your eyes start to burn and you’ll have to wash off and try again. Look up and push it into the roots up from the cheek up for bottom lashes, and close your eye and push into top lash roots. If your dye isn’t mixing into the developer well, mix harder. It doesn’t dissolve into the dye on its own, you’ll have to smush it and mix it a lot to mix properly, it generally takes a couple minutes. This dye will stain your countertops and washcloths so use caution to protect your workspace and only use washcloths you don’t mind being stained. I recommend keeping q-tips on hand to wipe away excess dye, but take care to not place them into your counter or sink if they have dye on them. I strongly recommend applying this before showering. Use a washcloth to carefully wipe away all the excess dye wiping out and away from the eye, then you can rinse really well in the shower. I’ve not noticed any problems with the longevity of the dye doing this, and it’s much easier to fully rinse everything away from the eyes. All in all, I personally love this product. It can be a bit frustrating to dial in what to do with it, though, and can take a few uses before you really figure it out. For me, it was worth figuring out so that my naturally blonde lashes are dark and I don’t have to use mascara ever again, no more makeup running down my face or flaking off, and I only spend about 30 minutes every couple months to achieve this. I just use an eyelash curler and it looks like I’m more put together for weeks, so the trade off for me is totally worth it.

Saw other reviews to have issues with clumping when mixing the two ingredients, I just kept mixing and it fully combined. I preferred to use the white rod/ mixer that came with it for my eyelashes instead of the spoolie. I found it was easier to just coat my eyelid and under eye in Vaseline and wipe it up after. Box says to leave on for like 5-10 mins, but I did 20 and had no issues.

This stuff is horrible. It BURNS your eyes like you wouldn't believe, it stains everything, including the counter, the skin around your eyes, and your fingertips, and to top it all off, the formula barely adheres to the eyelashes so you have to deal with a huge mess with barely tinted eyelashes in the end. I will never buy this product again.

This burns my eyes to the point that I can't use it as directed. The old version of this same product was much more gentle and effective.

Great to tint lashes and brows.
