Which order is right: "an ugly huge scar" or "a huge ugly scar"?

Question

Which of the following is right? Why?

He has an ugly huge scar on his face.
He has a huge ugly scar on his face.

I would choose the second one, but I don't know why.

There is an earlier question about the topic of adjective order in general: What is the rule for adjective order? — herisson, May 21 '18 at 01:46
In the article mentioned by @sumelic size comes first and then quality so it is considered (by the article) more 'natural' to say huge ugly. It is a conceptual matter of what impresses first in the mind's eye. — Nigel J, May 21 '18 at 04:57
You chose the right one, go ahead. For the why of it, see previous posts. Good Luck. — Kris, May 21 '18 at 06:52

I believe that this is more opinion based than anything, but I think that it should be the second one because huge ugly means it is huge and ugly, but the first one means it is ugly and another thing is huge
