Regular hair salon appointments seem to be a thing of the past so it’s time to find new solutions to help extend the life of any unwanted hues, greys or regrowth without having to permanently dye your hair with box colour.

For a temporary fix you can do from the comfort of home here are 3 instant root cover up solutions we can’t live without!

Root Cover Up Powder
The 1000Hour Root Cover Up Powder is a brush on tinted pressed-powder formulation that’s both wax and dye free, instantly concealing and blending greys/regrowth with ease. This product is water-resistant and completely non-transferable so you can go about your day without having to worry about it fading away. The product suits all hair textures and has a buildable quality where you can either brush it on for a light touch up or press it on for more coverage. This powder easily washes out with shampoo and can even be used to touch up your brows as well.

Hair Colour Mascara
The best thing about the 1000Hour Hair Colour Mascara is how convenient and fool-proof it is! Perfect for home, handbag and travel our Hair Colour Mascara is just like an eyelash mascara except it’s for hair roots. It’s wand allows for quick and precise application so you can easily target any unwanted greys or regrowth with one swipe. This mascara is also water resistant and easily washes out with shampoo.

Hair Colour Stick
The 1000Hour Hair Colour Stick makes outgrown roots and unwanted greys a thing of the past. Blending your roots into your colour with a natural effect and instant colour pay off, this stick is simple to use and throw in your bag. Upon application, it dries instantly and is also water resistant so you don’t have to worry about it on a hot summer’s day.

To get the most natural results, remember less is more! It’s easy to get a little carried away sometimes, so we recommend applying each of these products with a light hand.

While endless coats of mascara might give your lashes the length and fullness you desire, there’s nothing better than naturally thicker and longer lashes that you can rock on your makeup free days. Fortunately, there are several ways to encourage new lash growth and maintain happy, healthy eyelashes.

The 1000HOUR Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum Mist helps promote the natural growth of lash and brow hairs. It strengthens and minimises lash fallout, resulting in longer and fuller lashes and brows. The serum delivers vital antioxidant nutrients such as Vitamin A, C and E via an effective concentrate to hydrate the eye lid and contour area, preventing dryness and the onset of fine lines. Remember, consistency is key to seeing wow worthy results.

Did you know over application of mascara can damage delicate eyelashes, especially if mascara is frequently left on overnight? Which is why it’s always important you take the time to remove your mascara carefully at the end of the day. When removing mascara, gently massage your cleanser over your lids with light pressure being careful not to drag or tug as this can make delicate lash hairs fall out prematurely.

Massaging the eyelids nightly helps encourage healthy lash growth by increasing blood flow and stimulating the hair follicles. Regularly brushing is a great way for making your lashes appear longer and ultimately promote growth.

A well-rounded diet rich in protein, biotin and Vitamins A and C will help ensure your body has enough nutrients which are vital for healthy hair growth.

Eyelash curlers have been around forever and are one of the best tools to enhance your lashes without using any mascara. The 1000Hour Heated Eyelash Curler simply lifts and curls your lashes without crimping or breaking your delicate lashes, making it the perfect beauty staple for that extra added lift that lasts all day.

And finally, although these products don’t contribute to lash growth they’re a quick and easy way to make your lashes look naturally longer and thicker.

If you have naturally fairer hairs tinting your lashes can make it look like you’re wearing mascara, but without having to go through the trouble of applying mascara every day. The 1000Hour Lash & Brow Dye Kit provides no smudge permanent colour for eyelashes making them look instantly fuller.  And the best part? You only need to re-apply every 4-6 weeks!

Valentines Day may be known to some as a hallmark holiday full of boxes of chocolate, cheesy romantic cards and bunches of rose. But for us, Valentines Day is an excuse to dress up your everyday makeup looks. 

Whether you're a fan of the minimalist, yet eye catching bold liner or a swipe of glitter, this weekend is your opportunity to show off those makeup skills you learnt in lockdown last year!

Here are some of our favourite looks we will be recreating for date night. 

The perfect winged eye liner with a cherry bomb lip.
Valentines Day isn't complete until you pop on some red lippy, oh and some killer lashes. @emmjade is pictured here wearing our Individual False Lashes in Short to Medium. 

Touch of pink glitter. 
A sweep of glitter across the lid is truly magical. Keep it simple with one shade or switch it up with different coloured glitter placed in specific parts of the eyelid to create a contrast that gives each hue a moment in the spotlight. Pair with our Instant Brow Gel to keep the brows tidy like @ms_hannah_e has done so perfectly. 

Subtle chic.
There is no time like Valentines Day to try and brighten it up your look with a pop of colour. Be bold like @nellieplayfootmakeup and sweep a bright peach hue across the lid. Pair with our 3D False Lashes in Bambi for a fluttery look. 

Did you write down for your New Years Resolution to step out of comfort zone? Try new things? Shake things up? Well we're here to lend a helping hand along the way. We're challenging you to try out these funky, fresh and fun makeup looks this January. Why? Because why not. 

Don't be afraid of a little colour. Our fav gal Hattie, shows us how to be a trendsetter with this pop of colour look. Hattie wears our 3D Lashes to take the look that will be further. 

Pinky promise us you will try to add some pink into your looks, like Luka who absolutely nailed the #1000Hour look. Luka experimented with different hues of pink, some sparkle and of course picture perfect brows. Luka lashes are out of this world with the help from our Heated Eyelash Curler and her brows are set with our Instant Brow Gel. 

Mad about metallics? #same
We can't begin to describe how much we love this look from Jasmine. We have been wishing, hoping, waiting for the future, well the future has arrived with this futuristic makeup look. Jasmine has upped her brow game with our Lash & Brow Dye Kit in Dark Brown. 

Here at 1000Hour HQ, we're endlessly interested in what products reside in our staff's makeup kits and as it turns out, so are you! This month we are peeping into Ashlie's makeup kit, who has earned the job title of Sales Analyst due to her extensive knowledge of Excel Spreadsheets. Along with her expertise in Excel, Ashlie manages trade events which get our products out to market - so to summarise, Ashlie is a V.I.P

Shall we take a deep dive into her makeup kit?

AESOP Lucent Facial Concentrate: this is my all-time favourite serum full of vitamin C which hydrates and balances my skin! It’s a life saver!

Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face SPF50+ Superscreen: I always start my makeup routine with a solid SPF, even if I’m not spending much time outdoors to keep my skin protected from those nasty UV rays!

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation: I love this foundation for day or night. Totally buildable and can tailor my look for whatever I’m doing.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: I use this brush daily for a flawless foundation cover! Definitely my go to!

1000Hour Instant Brow Gel Clear: I love a natural fluffy brow! This product is perfect for me to set my brows in place for the day and have a natural and put together look!

Bare Minerals Lashtopia Volumizing Mascara: A bit of mascara never hurt anyone! This mascara gives not just volume to my lashes but length as well! I always have had issues with fallout, but this doesn’t leave my lashes all day long!

1000Hour Individual Lashes: Although it's impossible to play favourites with 1000Hour lashes, my go-to are the Individual Lashes in Short to Medium. When I don't have my lash extensions on and I'm feeling like I need a little more definition, these lashes provide a subtle boost to awaken my eyes. 

Meet Tash our in-house Graphic Designer. Tash's work is interlaced throughout the 1000Hour site. If you're a follower of 1000Hour on Instagram (If not, quick go give us a follow), you would've stumbled across some of her creations, such as all the incredible product shots, quotes, tiles and graphics, just to name a few. 

We're taking a deep dive into Tash's makeup kit this month. 

"My beauty routine is very skincare based. I like to keep my skin healthy and moisturised".

Here’s a list of some of my favourite skincare and beauty products:

Glow Recipe - Blue berry bounce cleanser 

"I usually use this cleanser to remove my makeup before I go in with a
deeper cleanser. The blueberry fragrance is nice, not super over bearing
and you can also use it as a 5 minute face mask".

Josie Maran - Whipped argan oil face butter 

"One of my favourite face moisturisers. Super thick and hydrating. It’s
fragrance free which I love and my skin always feels so nice after using it".  

1000hour Natural Collection - Envious 

"I have worn these lashes a bunch of times when I have a party or
a night out where I want to add a little extra to my makeup. They’re
super comfortable, the band is flexible so it doesn’t poke or come
out of place easily".

Origins - Avocado and Glacier water overnight mask

"I like to use this mask overnight, or for 10 minutes before I put my
makeup on if my skins feelings extra dry. It has hyaluronic acid and
avocado butter so it's super moisturising, oh and also smells really good".

Real techniques – Miracle Complexion Sponge

"I have always preferred to use a sponge over a brush when
applying foundation or concealer. Real techniques sponges
work well and give my skin a natural complexion".

Gentle Plant Extract Lash & Brow Dye Kit – Light Brown

When it comes to picking the right shade of dye tint, the most important thing to keep in mind is which skin tone you actually have; warm, cool or neutral.

At 1000Hour HQ, we are always swapping and sharing beauty and skin care tips. This month, we ask Brand Manager Sylvia, what beauty and skincare products she uses on Self Care Sunday.

“Self-care Sunday has been a ritual of mine since the age of 13. I cleanse, exfoliate, prep and mask every Sunday”  

Brows & Lashes

1000Hour – Gentle Plant Extract Lash and Brow Dye (Dark Brown for brows, Black – Lashes)
No Self-care Sunday is complete without some lash and brow care. 1000Hour’s Lash and Brow dye kits are perfect for at-home brow and lash colouring. I personally prefer the plant extract formula, as I find it easier to use. It only takes a few minutes. I do my lashes and brows every three weeks.

Make Up Remover

Palmers Coca Butter Formula – Facial Cleaning Oil removed with Face Halo This make up remover is affordable and removes make up and eye makeup easily. The instructions say to lather onto face, but I prefer to put a few squirts on my face halo and wipe off my makeup. It is also gentle on the skin and does not leave it feeling dry.

Cleanser

Endota Organics – Moisture Restore Cleansing Milk
I have dry and combination skin and find that my skin feels better when I use a cream-based cleanser. Endota Moisture Restore Cleansing Milk is organic and does not contain any nasties my skin doesn’t need.

Exfoliant

Up Circle – Coffee Face Scrub
I love this Face scrub because it’s made from repurposed coffee grounds. It also contains citrus oils, which leave my skin feeling hydrated – even before moisturising. It is also available in Floral for sensitive skin and Herbal for oily skin.

Face Mask

Retreatment Botanics – Instant Glow Face Mask
I really like to try new face masks. I do prefer organic and natural masks as my skin is quite sensitive. Right now, I am loving the Instant Glow Face Mask from Retreatment Botanics. It extracts toxins, but leaves my skin feeling refreshed and glowy. Best of all it’s made with some amazing ingredients.

This one’s for the babes that need a little creative inspo.

Subtle but sparkly
It’s no secret we love a little shimmer to enhance your everyday look. For a special girl’s night out, opt for glittery emerald green instead of your regular winged eye liner. With a bold, slick brow, (our Dye Kits can help with this step) except to get a few compliments.

Rose Gold Goddess
We loveeee a pearly shimmer finish to complete a look. A dust of rose gold over the lids is universally lovely, plus it can be worn day or night. Add some lashes, maybe our Bambi 3D lashes in this case for some depth and you’re good to go.

Soft serve of orange
Different from your classic peach but not so pigmented as burnt orange, a slight sweep of soft orange eye shadow does wonders for making those baby blues pop. Finish with a touch of Instant Brow to get your brows looking every so tidy and wa’la, you’re ready to tackle the day ahead.

With the launch of our new 3D lashes, we reached out to three up and coming makeup artists to create stunning looks to swoon over. The 1000hour 3D lashes give false lashes a new lease on life. With three tiered layers of delicate lashes, your look is bound to make a statement.

First up, we have Cayla who has nailed the 1000Hour look. You know we’re suckers for anything pink and this bumblegum pink cut crease is everything we have ever dreamed of. The look in our opinion, is tied together with the ever-so wispy Bambi lashes. The lashes are styled to have a fluttery design which softens the overall look.

Next, Caitlin. Did someone say drama? Because Caitlin ticked that box with this incredible look. We have disco fever with this frosty glittery number. Caitlin is sporting the 3D Disco lashes here. Our Disco lashes are anything but boring, with long length and a bold crisscross design, they command attention.

The smokey eye is a true makeup classic trend that will never die out. Michelle has created a deliciously dark look which we know we will be trying for our next night out. If you’re looking to accentuate your eyes, don’t be afraid to go big and bold. Oh, and add in some bedazzle for fun. Applying a dark shade in subtle shapes on both the top and bottom of the eyes brings a delicate balance and can help define the contours of the eye. Michelle is wearing our Bambi lashes to complete the look.
