It looks like you have a dark asian complexion, and your dark circles appear to be a mix between purple and red. The reason I point out the color, is because with concealer you should use the color that is opposite to the color of the area/skin you're trying to conceal. Green balances out red spots, yellow balances out purple spots, and vica verca, (red/flesh tone conceals green spots and purple conceals yellow spots). So for your circles you need to buy a combo palette or individual concealers in the colors of light yellow (opp of purple) and light green (opp of red). And of course, as with buying any color/kind of under-eye concealer, you always want to find a shade that is slightly lighter than the rest of your face. If in doubt about what hues (lightness of light green and light yellow) to buy, a fool-proof tip is to always buy lighter if you're unsure... rather than getting home and putting on the concealer and finding out it's too dark. As for those brands, I know for sure that MAC carries individual colored concealers (including purple, green, flesh tones, etc). I just looked and couldn't find the colors on the MAC website, but I know they carry them because I bought a green one awhile ago for the redness around my nose. When you get your colors, mix them together on your hand, along with a flesh tone concealer, then apply w/ brush. The MAC concealers I'm talking about come in little tubes, if you've ever used MAC concealers you'll know what I'm talking about. If you can't/don't want to get the 3 colors (the light green, yellow & light flesh-tone)--then opt for just a yelllow based and flesh-toned concealer. Just adding any of the 2 colored concealers (yellow & green) will 'neutralize' the color of your circles by a lot. You will see a big difference. If you do end up getting all 3, like I would suggest, then do as I said above; put a dab of the flesh-tone concealer on your hand and gradually mix in the yellow and green. Test out varying amounts of each concealer/color to find the mixture that's right for your eyes. Also, just as an added tip, and i'm sure you already know this but, when you're applying your makeup try and use the most natural light source you have available to you in your house/apartment, like in front of a window. Sometimes I'll mistakingly put on my concealer in my bathroom under artificial lighting, look in the mirror and it looks satisfactory, but then I'll be outside walking around on campus and I'll look into my compact mirror and see that the color or the hue (lightness/darkness) of my concealer is way off. People usually have purple toned, yellow toned, green toned, or blue toned under-eye circles, the color varies with different people according to the thickness of/ and the tone of the rest of your face. Good luck
