Melanin & Mistakes

Welcome to Melanin & Mistakes 🤎

I'm Ricci — LA-based, background in TV production, acting, and social media consulting — and this channel is skincare and makeup education for melanin-rich skin, built from honest experience, not a script.

I've made the mistakes so you don't have to: the wrong SPF, the DIY hack that backfired, the foundation shade that oxidized orange by noon. Here, you'll get honest product reviews, myth-busting, and real routines built specifically for deeper skin tones — explained simply, no dermatology degree required.

New videos weekly covering:
🤎 Skincare education for melanin-rich skin (hyperpigmentation, SPF, retinol, and more)
🤎 Honest, unsponsored product reviews
🤎 Makeup tips built for deeper skin tones (undertones, shade matching, contour)
🤎 The mistakes I've made, so you can skip straight to what works
