We told you she was good - internet make-up artist Panacea81 gets a contract
Style beauty editor Helen Brown first brought Lauren Luke to your attention back in February. Lauren's an amateur make-up artist whose masterclasses have now had 8 million views on You Tube.
The 26-year-old, who is known to You Tube fans by her username panacea81, has been snapped up by Barry M cosmetics and offered a contract to help develop her skills with a view to becoming a professional make-up artist.
Click above to see Lauren's Summer Nights video, one of scores shot in the bedroom of her Newcastle home and posted on her own channel on the website.
And remember, you saw her here first (well almost, after a few million viewers)


Artist - the absolute right word - she's an artist
I hope she goes a long way and gets the recognition she deserves, not just for her talent and creativity, but for her personality - before long everyone will be "wiggling on" a little bronzer. Lovely.
It's all very futile all this make-up lark, but it's fun, so let her enjoy it all - before her skin gets too big for her : )
