I can take a crack at it... What did you need help with exactly? Color correcting?

while on this topic of color wheel. Does anyone know how to conceal purple/red dark circles? People always tell me a salmon color but it has no effect on me. :/

@Rina: Green would counteract the red.

You can always pick up a color wheel to look at complimentary color schemes to get started with. There's also double-split complimentary, analogous, monochromatic, etc if your looking for diff. Color schemes. Just google them and you'll see how they can be grouped for color selection. Hope that kind of helped!

I have the same kind of under-eye circles. I use this Hard Candy concealer palette that has a yellow and a green, and I mainly use the yellow and then a little green. :) Hope that helps!
