Even when I had a full beard it was never that dark (fortunately!!) - looks like a lot of work, especially if you have to do it every day, but would definitely be worth it in the circumstances.
Practice practice practice. Is what I have been told. If you know any drag queens they look awesome, take the make up off and they can look very male.
I had a professional make over once and even I looked pretty.
Pity I didn't learn the skills!
