Use the long-handled applicator included with the dye kit to layer the dye onto your facial hair. Brush with quick up-and-down strokes, making sure you've covered all visible patches including the mustache and sideburns. Work the dye down deep, but try not to let it come into contact with the skin itself.  Pull on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands from staining and irritation. If you don't have an applicator, you can also use a toothbrush, makeup brush or flexible fine-toothed comb. Once applied, the dye will begin working within minutes. Keep a close eye on the color of your beard during this time. To test the results, you can remove the dye from a small section using a damp paper towel and take a look at the coloring underneath.  Follow the instructions on the packaging to get an idea of how long you should let the dye set up (this will usually be somewhere between 20-40 minutes).  For darker beards, a second application may be necessary to achieve the right depth of color. When you're satisfied with the color, turn on the faucet and run some cool water over your beard. This will dull the vibrant dye to a more natural-looking tint. Continue rinsing your beard until the water runs clear. Massage the hairs by hand to help free dye trapped inside. If your beard comes out too dark, you can lighten it a little by showering right away while the dye is still fresh. It may also help to scrub your facial hair with a clarifying shampoo, although this may strip away more color than you want.  Blow dry your beard on a low heat setting or let it air dry to avoid staining your towels. After your first shampoo, you can go back to showering, cleaning and trimming your beard as usual.
