A common trick  to cover beard shadow is to apply orange lipstick all over the beard, before anything else. The orange will block the blue/ish shadow. After the orange just apply normal makeup, if you want it could be foundation after all over the face, or powder.

Shaving technique is also important, using sharp blades and high quality lubricants...I use a gel on the rare occasions I have to shave. You can buy colour corrector pallets...I think mine cost about $5 from the local Target store. This will include the orange that Charlie spoke of.

I recently found using coconut oil as a shaving oil has helped me a lot just to get as smooth a shave as possible without irritation/in-grown hairs/hideous wounds, and with I can pretty much do as many passes as I want to make sure i get every tiny bit of hair. It makes working with the concealer techniques a lot easier. (I was actually gouging lines into the red lipstick I was using for makeshift color correction with beard stubble originally.  :-X)
