Making the Conservatorie Caramel Light Deluxe suitable for my skin

The 4 ounces I ordered from The Conservatorie are yellow. Yellow and too dark.
Mixed some Caramel Light Deluxe powder with Conservatorie's foundation base, boron glow and pearl powder - the mixture does not excel in coverage but it is indeed lighter then the pure version. Apparently I cannot tone down the yellowness until the TKB haul arrives - ordered some blue and purple pigments too - since purple is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel - that should take down the yellowness a bit.

I make a promise never to purchase any foundation mixtures without ultramarine blue ever again.

PS!

My skin has gotten terribly dry... I do not know if it's the Conservatorie's foundies or just winter. By midday I have to moisturize my face by adding a thin layer of moisturizer on top of my makeup, otherwise risking to look like a dried plum.

If it's indeed the foundi then what ingredient could possibly be to blame here?


(Contains: Sericite Mica - Magnesium Myristate, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Silk Powder, Allantoin, Iron Oxide.)
And the coverage - I am not happy with that either.
