Will wearing foundation under my arms make it come off on my dress?

I have dark underarms, and it would cover them up great, but I don't want it coming off on my dress. Will it be good if I let it dry a long time or will I just have to come up with another plan?

    accept your underarms as they are. this is literally the least cared about body part ever.

    Having darker skin on your underarms is normal. If you wear foundation or concealer there, it WILL come off onto your clothes and downs your sides and onto everything else when you get hot or sweat.

    I suggest you accept the way it is or see a dermatologist.

    Hey. I had the same problem as you last year.

    Dark underarms will not go away fast, it takes time, and patience.

    Here is what i did. I started this in September last year. Took a whole year for my underarms to fade on its own. You need to follow the steps, and always get your underarms waxed when they are growing out.

    1. Stop using storebought deoderants. these contain chemicals that are bad for your pitts, they blog your pores, causing darkness. I rubbed lemon juice as an alternative to deoderants to prevent B.O, it does not stop sweating. lemon juice naturally lightens underarms as well.When my dark underarms went away, that is when i switched to an all natural deoderant cream (from http://www.etsy.com/shop/MeresAllNatural)

    2. Stop shaving. Shaving is one of the main reasons why dark underarms occur. Get your underarms SUGAR WAXED by a professional. Sugar waxing is like regular waxing but contains natural ingredients. i found a at home sugar waxing salon by searching on google. If there are no sugaring hair removal salons near your home, get your underarms professionally waxed then.

    BEFORE APPOINTMENT; Wash your underarms with a washcloth and soap.

    AFTER APPOINTMENT- Use aloe vera cream on underarms. They will be red, that is normal.

    Do not expect to see underarms lightened right away. It will take more than one appointment to see results.

    3. Wash your underarms morning and night with a wash cloth

    4. Do not wear homemade deoderant or lemon juice at night to prevent B.O. Wash anything you put on your underarms at night off, and moisturize with Cocoa Butter

    5. After a shower, moisturize underarms with cocoa butter.

    6. Wear loose clothing in the underarms as much as possible. Avoid wearing tight shirts

    There you go. That is what helped me with my dark underarms :)
