If anyone does know of such a thing I'd like to know too.
The only thing I have found to really cover beard growth is a 'panstick' foundation although it's maybe not as subtle as what you may be looking for.
'Benefit' seem to do quite a good range too. I had a fairly good concealer from them. I went into house of Frazer and the make up assistant was very helpful. she gave me a mini make over to show me how to get nice results

Demablend or Smart Cover is best for beard cover.  I use Avon's IDEAL SHADE Liquid Foundation SPF 10 lightly over the areas I need extra coverage on, And then IDEAL SHADE Loose Powder all over.  Works well. at least for me.

It is best if you can choice your ideal color, and rremember that your skin tone changes through out the year.

I never had much beard to begin with, just a little chin & upper lip. I got laser & electrolosis everywhere below the eyes, so I never had the 5'oclock. Whatever you use, make sure it matches your skintone. You can go to any makeup counter in any dep store & the sales lady will do this no charge, & they'll let you try anything for the most part. I don't know your money situation so I won't go to town saying you GOTTTA have this or that. Here's my best off the cuff;(I'm leaving eyes out as I do things my way in that dep.) 1.start with a primer, then concealer. 2.foundation. 3.bronzer &(or) blush, 4.the best finishing powder I know of & can afford. I don't buy expensive clothes, shoes, or jewelry, but I won't cut corners on makeup. Makeup is the most personalized, liberating thing I do for my own personal appearance. I have total freedom to do how & what I want.

Dermablend works OK, but getting the right skin colour match can be a pain, and you need to use fixing powder if you don't want it to come off on your clothes or look too heavy.. ::)

There is some really good mix/blend waterproof products in the UK which are much lighter and double as tattoo cover from "Rio".

Maybe try googling "tattoo cover" in your State for alternative options. ;)

If you do use dermablend, then a good cleanser is essential as the stuff can really clog your pores... ;)
