What are the purple, green, and pink concealers used for? Which is best for acne spots and which is best for dark undereyes?

I think pink concealers are good for under eye circles because they help cancel out the purple. Green concealers are better for acne spots because the green cancels out red. And I don't know what purple is used for

Purple cancels out orange, or dark spots. Green is anti-redness. Pink is better for bluer circles under your eyes. (:

Purple is for yellow undertones, I wouldn't say dark spots, for dark spots you can use yellow.

Purple cancels out yellow tones. A lot of times people will Asian heritage will use a purple primer to cancel out the super yellow undertones than can sometimes be in their skin. There is also purple corrector concealers for more concentrated yellow areas. Since purple cancels out yellow, yellow will also cancel out purple which is why using a yellow corrector under the eye is perfect for someone who dark circles are purple toned! Yellow is also really great for brightening! My favorite powder for under the eye is Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit refill in the shade banana it looks so amazing under the eye!
Pink/salmon concealers are used under the eye when you need to cancel out dark circles that are blue/green toned!
Green is used to cancel out red tones in the skin! Lots of places make amazing green primers that really help to cancel out any redness in the skin! I really like the smashbox one! You can use a green concealer to cancel out the redness in any blemishes! Nyx makes a mint green one for this purpose!
