Hi Heather!

Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette available at Target. If you don't have a Target near you, here's a link to purchase on eBay:

Also, here's some tips on helping correct the problems you are encountering:

-Green-toned concealer helps to counteract redness
-Salmon/Orange-toned concealer helps to counteract blue undereye circles
-Yellow/Flesh-toned concealer helps to counteract purple undereye circles
-For pimples, I found that if they are really red and raised above the surface of the skin, it's counterproductive to pack on loads of green concealer. I gentle pat green concealer over the blemish to hide the majority of the redness. Then, I create a border around the blemish with a very light beige-toned concealer (I'm very very pale, so you might need to use a darker shade..close to your skin tone) and then blend it away.

Good luck! :]

P.S. I know you said you aren't fancy but I use Ben Nye's Total CoverAll Wheel II in SK200, which is a concealer wheel that has a bunch of colors and comes in various shades. This is hardcore concealer, because Ben Nye is Theater/Stage makeup. But, it works amazing if you don't have great skin. It's a bit of an investment, especially if you don't normally splurge on makeup. But, it's SO worth it.

Here's a link to the wheel in SK200 (the lightest shades available).

There are two drugstore foundations that will work for this. You don't have to wear it all over your face. Just use the product as a concealer and dot it on with a concealer brush, which you can buy very cheaply at a drugstore too. The products are: L'Oreal Infallible Foundation and Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation. Rimmel is $7.99 and L'Oreal is $13.99. Walgreen's has L'Oreal on sale right now, buy one get one half off.

if you really want a good concealer you need to invest a bit more money for a high end one.
i used to use drugstore concealers and they just didnt cover up everything.
now i use amazing cosmetics concealer and i just need a pin dot of the conclear and would blend with my ring finger and it would cover up my dark circles for both eyes. another pin dot of concealer and it would cover up blemishes,redness,scars,etc.

its a bit pricey but if you think about it you can buy a lot of drugstore concealers that cost $8-$10 without tax and if they dont work you buy another one and another eventually it adds up to $50 or more. so if you just spend a bit more money on the concealer then it would be worth it because youre not wasting that extra money and throwing away the drugstore concealers that dont work.... i used to do that but im happy that i found this concealer and i wont need to throw away like i did with all of my other ones.
it cost $28 but it works wonders. you can even test it out at sephora.

No idea what you can buy in a US drug store, I'm from the UK but MAC concealer is know to be a good brand. I have really bad circles under my eyes and I did some research into concealers. Apparently makeup artists working on film sets use MAC concealer to cover up actors/actresses tatoos as it has such good coverage! It works well for me but is probably more expensive than some brands. I use Max Factor lasting performance foundation which gives great coverage and also almost perfectly doubles as a concealer. It is good at covering redness in particular. Again, not sure what you can and can't get in a US drug store but hope this helps!
