QuestionI recently bought a two-in-one pressed powder that contains spot and scar eraser. Which one do I apply first: the spot one or the scar one?Leah StitzelCommunity AnswerUse scar first, then spot. The scar is probably less heavy and used to cover larger areas, and can be patted in with hardly any visibility. The spot should go on second so there's no danger of it rubbing off when you apply other products on top.
