How do you apply camouflage face paint to a beard?

Or do you? Do you try do the same kind of pattern as on the rest of your face, or let its color be part of the pattern? Just let it be as is?

We weren't allowed to grow beards.

I don't see why you couldn't just rub mud on it. It won't sweat off like it would on the face.

Don't worry, that hot-pocket will never see you coming.

Doesn't it just grow in camouflage once you have a tab?

Face paint is overrated. Veil sewn onto the brim of that boogie will allow you to tie in vegetation and break up both profile and silhouette in a static position looking down glass.

I would suggest just using it sparingly to cover up anything light colored that would give you away. Light colored beards or white/grey hairs. I know a few duck hunters who dye their beards darker during duck season to prevent giving away their position.

shave and a haircut works better and makes it easier to wash off later

I understand beard wearing in the Army is very limited. I know the SOCOM guys do whatever they need to fit in. If your beard is wild relatively untrimmed I don't see the need if it's close trimmed following your face you likely need to get paint on it to match the area. Light shadowed areas and dark on high areas.
