Her YouTube channel, Panacea81, has 135 million views and over 539,000 subscribers since her first upload on 22 July 2007. Luke chose the alias Panacea81 by pairing the Greek Goddess's name Panacea with her birthday year, 1981. Luke is a YouTube site partner and is one of the most subscribed YouTube users in the UK. She has done eye makeup looks inspired by celebrities such as Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Lopez, Miley Cyrus, Amy Lee, Leona Lewis, and more.

In November 2008, Luke was featured in a BBC documentary called Inside Out. The Guardian then recruited Luke to write a weekly beauty column in January 2009, which she still updates weekly. In March 2009, a second, more in-depth documentary about Lauren and her life aired as part of a documentary series titled Natalie Cassidy's Real Britain, on BBC Three.

Advocacy

In July 2012, Luke teamed with Refuge, a UK-based advocacy group, to produce a video as part of their 'Don't Cover It Up' campaign to encourage women who have been victims of domestic violence to report incidents. The video depicts Luke starting out in the usual tutorial manner, however she is depicted using foundation to cover up bruises from an implied beating. While Luke was already well known in the UK, the video was promoted by the National Organization for Women in the United States, and reported on internationally. Luke noted that, "The bruising on my face for the video wasn't real, but my emotions in that video were. I had a bad experience in the past with a previous boyfriend. He never physically hurt me but I did sometimes fear what would happen next if I said the wrong thing. He could be overprotective and embarrass me in front of my work colleagues or friends because of his aggressive behavior. Sometimes it was like living with a volcano which could erupt at any second--I felt I was walking on egg shells just to keep him from exploding and smashing something across the room."
