Lightroom Colour Issues

When I am editing in Lightroom and using my calibrated desktop monitor I get the colour and skin tone that I like. Once I export the images and view them on another screen the colours are very different. I have calibrated numerous times, exported in all different ways that I could. I am just at a loss as to what is the problem. Any thoughts? (I shoot Canon if that makes any difference).

    If the other screen isn't also calibrated, all bets are off.  Also, are you using a color-managed program to view the photos on the other screen? A color-managed program is required to match the colors in the photo the screen's calibration. The Windows built-in photo viewer isn't color-managed, and many browsers aren't either.

    I am viewing my photos on through exporting to Lightroom Mobile and or Google (both viewing from my Andriod phone).

    So, what phone is it? Is the phone screen calibrated? What browser or app on the phone are you using to view the photos on your phone?
