Hi emmy.....

I don't have much to go on here. My suggestion is to take the dark bases you have and swipe them on your jawline. Take a look at them in different kinds of light (indoor, outdoor, natural, etc.) to see if there is one or two that closely resemble the colors in your skin. Then we can work on lightening it to the depth of your skintone.
