duplicate the layer of the original picture, press ctrl+u and drag the sat. slider to -100, then set the layer to hard light.

there’s an old addage:

“you can’t enhance that which was never there in the first place”

which I think fits here…

reverend said it but you can try:

  • You could use curves(ctrl+M) in PS and ctrl+Click on the portion of the face you want darker and adjust curves according to that

  • or -

  • you could use the burn tool and make that portion darker.

Looks like you’ve been using colour dodge/burn on the image which will generally make the lighter parts of the image darker

if you go to images>adjustments>levels you can mess with the darkness/mids/brightness…

or go to image>adjustments> brightness/contrast… it looks like ther eis alot of contrast added around your face… so you could probably take the contrast down a little…
