skin tone readings and adjustments

Trying to color correct skin tones using curves in CMYK, but seem to either have false cyan reading via eyedropper or something just as strange is at hand.
The end result when trying to keep cyan at a third of yellow's count - as in Lee Varis Skin book - is too much red.
This is truly baffling as how can Photoshop give such a wrong reading or what am I doing wrong?
Any insights greatly appreciated

What is your magenta to yellow ratio? It could be that you simply have to much magenta in the mix. Also are you talking over all color or just the shadows?
