Oh my god, I think color correcting is my calling. I posted in MUA a few months ago about my color correcting B/A (link here) and I'm a huge advocate of drugstore makeup.
These are my lifesaving products- keep in mind that although I am a medium/deep (tan) skin tone, the following correctors can work wonders for darker and lighter skin tones.
These products may be cheap, but the amount of correction to the face is astounding.
The first product is something I use everyday. I take about half a pump onto the back of my hand and go around my undereye/eye area, my muzzle discoloration and my hyperpigmented birthmarks on my face. A light, targeted layer of this instantly brightens the skin, and often times it will be enough after foundation to cancel out discoloration.
For days where I have slept less, or woken up after being dehydrated, the orange pot concealer is my best friend. I will blend this orange with a lighter skin tone concealer from the palette to create a custom correcting shade for concealing. The palette also has some peach-y tones but I find they are too light for me. When mixed, the concealer becomes this beautiful smooth and creamy formula that can be layered (lightly!) to avoid creasing, but to create a flawless finish. That concealer palette is also incredibly helpful for contouring/highlighting.
My next color correcting investments will be these products:
Destiney Godley has a great video where she uses this and loves it, so I'm pretty stoked to get it.
If you have any questions please please please let me know! I'm by no means an expert, but I do this every single time I wear makeup, and I've only gotten better at it! :)

I bought this in-store in Canada for $10 around the post Christmas liquidation sale time, and it's amazing! Very pigmented, comparable to Naked 1 I'd say. The link is for the Indonesian Body Shop site, since I can't find it on the main one. Sorry! The matte dark brown colour is perfect for filling in my brows and stays all night.
This stuff is seriously SO amazing, ease of application of a liquid eyeliner, love, love, love the applicator, and the black intensity of a gel eyeliner when it dries. Get your hands on this!!
Oh. My. God. You guys. I'm not kidding when I say I've tried Bobbi Brown's Corrector in Peach & this beats it BY FAR. This is NOT a dupe. It is in a whole other league of its own. This, topped with the concealer that comes next to it, does not crease, does not fade, blends easily & seamlessly, covers anything & everything, and for so cheap. You have got to try this at least once, especially if you struggle with under-eye dark circles. I have horrible ones that never go away, and this stuff is my HOLY GRAIL!

Lips
Hi, I know you haven't asked for other recs, but do you use sunscreen? SPF would help a ton with both reducing and eliminating your dark spots, plus adding extra protection for your skin.
Assuming that you want to eliminate dull skin and dark spots, sunscreen and chemical exfoliation are the best options, but I'll stick to what you've asked for now :)
As for moisturisers, there are hundreds, if not throusands, of options, so more info would be great! e.g., do you like thick moisturisers, gel types, thin lotions? There are products with added ingredients that can help with dark spots and be hydrating at the same time, e.g. Cerave PM Facial lotion, a gel-type moisturiser, which has niacinamide. You can also get moisturisers that just do that one thing, e.g. Nivea Creme, Clinique DDML, etc.
More info would be great!
You don't really need to replace your brushes if they aren't raggedy and falling apart or shedding. If you're cleaning and taking care of them regularly t hey should be absolutely fine to keep.
That being said, I think the Elf Studio brushes and Eco tools are great.
This is my favorite foundation brush of all time: http://www.amazon.com/e-l-f-Studio-Powder-Brush-elf/dp/B002B4GGUG
I've replaced them a few times to be honest because it starts shedding after about a year but I love everything about how this brush is designed and how it works. You can really control the amount of coverage, stipple, blend. It works with all textures of foundation from cream to liquid to powder. Love it. 6 bucks!
Sacha Buttercup would work, I'm NC44 in the winter, NC45 in the summer and it worked well on me. The texture of it is odd and hard to describe - it feels denser/heavier than most other powders and is VERY richly colored. The yellow cast it gave me was so intense my husband would comment on it, so I stopped using it. Unless you're super yellow toned you have to be careful with it to use a very light hand.
I have since tried Ben Nye Banana Powder, W7 Banana Dreams powder which seems to be a dupe for the Ben Nye, and Ben Nye Topaz powder. The banana shade (of any powder) seems to be ideal for our skintone under the eyes. I have to mix the Ben Nye Banana powder with the Topaz and it makes a perfect all over the face setting powder.
I'm something like an NC35, and I have translucent skin. Something that works well for me for getting coverage is to use a Korean BB cream as a base, and then do a mix of primer, moisturizer, and liquid foundation over, and finish with a mineral powder.
I really like Skin79 Super BB cream; the hot pink formula and also the orange formula are good ones.
Be aware--it does not take much at all to do your whole face, maybe half a pump at most. It will go on really chalky-white, but you have to let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then keep blending it, and it will become more clear.
Here's a few people I found wearing brighter reds:

Here are a few products that might do it for you:
Revlon $7 - looks darker in the pic than it actually is
Avon
Wet n Wild $2 - wears more like a stain than a lipstick
Thanks! Any recs on concealer? I currently use the Garnier Skin Renew Anti Dark Eye Roller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003RF82RI/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My skin is dark brown. My hair is black and tightly coiled. On my face, I have peach fuzz, significant side burns and errant hairs on my jawline (that I tweeze). I don't mess with my sideburns - I used to in middle school but I discovered that it was a bad idea - looked bad, felt bad, etc.
I shaved my face for the first time a couple of days ago with Panasonic Facial Trimmer with Pivoting Head Design - ES2113PC. It's far gentler on my skin than depilatory creams or powders. It was very effective but I did it on a whim so I have to look into it more to hone my technique and post-shave skincare routine.
