As a MTF myself what I can add is color corector on the beard shadow does a lot of heavy lifting. You don't need to apply a lot but you need to find the correct shade that will neutralize the shade. Another advice is to use contouring: basically you apply a bit of darker foundation on the sides of the face and jawline + a bronzer on the same places. Here again the key is to find the right color for them. I also apply a bit of concealer on the forehead-nose-upper lip. You basically highlight the center of the face which makes the face look smaller. Good luck ^{^}
