I really would sample Warm Gold, Deep Ebony, and possibly Peach along with some Ivory. I don't see much yellow in your skintone (which would be Buttery Gold). My gut tells me you will be a blend of Warm Gold and Deep Ebony.

I can usually pinpoint a range to start. For you, I would definitely try the color base powders straight on your jawline f1rst to see what 'blends' with your skintone best. I am thinking you will be 1Warm Gold:1 Deep Ebony:2-4 Ivory. If one or the other looks more close to your skintone on your initial test, mix that one at about 1:1 to start and add more Ivory if you need it. Overall, you will probably be in the 1 scoop color base (Warm Gold or Deep Ebony, or a blend of the two) to 1-3 Ivory range.
