The best colored concealers are the 'stick' type. As they allow you control the coverage a little more and can cover a bit thicker when needed. There are different colored concealers for different undertones on your skin that you'd like to camoflage. Green, lavendar,Yellow and combination ones as well. There are also different shades to those concealers. Green is an easy one to go a bit overboard with and can make you look like you have Frankenstein skin. lol Experiment with it and the other colored concealers first.

On weekends that we don't have special plans, I don't wear any makeup... just wash my face, toner, moisturizer and Nutragena lip balm. After putting "plain" (aside from that slightly blue tint they put in all of 'em so they can be seen in the soaking solution - or on the counter when dropped ;-) contacts over my green eyes... Ultra fair creamy concealer (L'Oreal - 1 Neutral) under my eyes is a must as I inherited my paternal grandmother's perpetual dark circles. Then my entire face, including my eyes, is done lightly in powder foundation (Color Me Beautiful - Whisper Beige). Lipstick (Revlon Caramel Glace') comes next because I can't judge how much junk to put on my eyes if my lips are blank. *L* Soft pencil eyeliner (Revlon Brown/Black) done fairly liberally on both upper and lower lids, followed by the eyelash curler and liberal amounts of mascara (Revlon Fabulash in Brown/Black). Liberal is the key word with mascara and eyeliner - the reason why will become apparent shortly... Blush (Revlon Sandbeige - or something like that) is next and is mentioned only because it is also my base "eyeshadow"... Once I apply it to my cheeks, I use the same brush to swipe the color over my upper eyes - under the brow bone, but not on the lids. My foundation acts as a neutral shadow on the lids. (This is why I use so much mascara/eyeliner - the foundation/blush on my lids saves LOADS of time, but is very subtle). The last bits of blush are used to contour my forehead and add a bit of color there. Then I highlight the brow bone with regular powder eyeshadow (Revlon Champagne) and touch up my natural eyebrows just a bit with a spongy/pointy thingy dabbed in brow powder (Color Me Beautiful Fawn). Face (not eyes - can't get all that mascara coated up) gets dusted with Bare Minerals Mineral Veil to set and blend. Add some shimmer gloss over my lipstick and that's it. Then it's time for the hair... And many of you know how high maintenace THAT is for this big-hair girl (though at Disneyland, it's not always evident ;-) *LMAO*
