This blush is great. I own this and Dusty Rose. At first, I much preferred Dusty Rose but now I am starting to wear Terracotta more. Terracotta is a really perfect match for my medium olive complexion and I am starting to think it gives me more of a natural almost sun-kissed glow. They are both great. Both are highly pigmented and last all day for me. I plan on buying more colors.

This is a pretty neutral blush with shimmer. In the pan, the shimmer looks a bit scary but on the skin it isn't overly noticable and gives off more of a glow than anything. Good pigmentation and blends out nicely. This is the only NYX blush I own, but after trying this for the past several days I will probably buy more. Great price, good product. I took off one lippie because it isn't very long lasting. I have to touch up every 3-4 hours.

I love this blush. It's neutral enough for everyday wear, but gives subtle Colorado. It contains some shimmer, but it's light. I love this and won't go anywhere without it.

Ok i hate the multicoloured glitter in this. Seriously i looked like a discoball when i wore it. Its a light pink-gold...sort of like a watered down, filled with chockfull of glitter version of Rubenesque paintpot. I love the colour, hate the glitter. I use this as an eyeshadow. Awesome! Just make sure you use a primer under this, or it will crease and dissappear. Decent pigmentation though.
.
As for price, this is the cheapest you can go and its great coz i can buy different shades to try and see what looks nice on my skin, esp since i'm a noob to blush and am still scared of packing on the colour (for fear of clown blush). I bought 6 actually, which i will review as well.
.
The quilted pattern is cute, but the compact itself doesnt open easily i find. Not a huge problem i guess. Would i buy this again? No man. No.

I own six or seven Nyx blushes and like them very much. They are good bang for the buck. They provide good pigmentation, blend well, and I find them among the easiest to apply. I prefer application with a 187 or a fan brush, then buffing out as needed with a kabuki or full brush.

All Nyx blushes fail to last long on me, though. I get 2-4 hours and then need a touch-up. That seems typical of most brands, though. I have very dry skin. I apply over moisturizer, primer serum, foundation and (sometimes) powder, and I think my cheeks just suck up the moisture from my foundation and makes everything else disappear.

I have probably NW10 skin: very pale with strong cool undertones. I have auburn hair and blue-green eyes. Terracotta reads as a sheer, warm coral with a hint of cool berry. Maybe I'm making the berry up, but I tell myself it's not too warm for me.

I like terracotta when I am trying to swing to the warmer side of things, either because my lippie or eyeshadow is too warm for me, or I want a more neutral cheek for a red lip shade, in which case I apply very lightly with a fan brush and buff. (Mac Blushbaby is a better choice for neutral on my skin, but I never get around to buying it!) It's the one non-cool blush I have, and I will buy it again.
The packaging is a bit flimsy, but it manages being stuck in my day makeup bag and squished in my purse. I will someday depot my Nyx blushes and shadows...

This somewhat reminds me of NARS Luster- which I also just bought. It's a pretty shimmery apricot. It goes on sheer and shimmery, but you can layer it with Golden or Orange cream blush from NYX. It's also better used as a highlighter on darker skintones.

When i saw this blush in Ulta, i was a little hesitant to buy it. It was a color that i never pictured myself wearing and had a bit too much glitter for my taste. But im so glad that i took a chance and bought it anyways! lol. Its so beautiful! Looks amazing on my warm skin tone! Gives me a glowy look. The color transfers so much different on my skin. In the pan, it looks like a orange, bronze, rusty, slight red shade, but on the skin its just a nice golden coral blush with gold glitter. Its a gorgeous summer shade. Its very pigmented, only one dab will do. Its super soft and lasts for more than a few hours. The price is also nice, only 5.99 at Ulta, and its definitely worth more than that! lol. Amazing product :)

I can't say anything bad about the formula except that it has a lot of fall out, however it is too orange for me. Shame, because it's a gorgeous color. I will try another Nyx blush though.

Such a great color. I use this as a blush/bronzer and an all-over face illuminizer. Lasts for hours and looks amazing!

I got this because I read it's a dupe for MAC's So Ceylon msf. On my skin it looks almost exactly the same except it's more orangey then So Ceylon. It's a beautiful glowy shade and I can't believe how cheap it is compared to MAC. I'm def going to purchase more NYX blush, the quality is so good for the price. I also think the packaging is so cute.

Contrary to other reviewers, I had pigmentation issues with this and another NYX blush. I thought it was quite good, but then I tried NARS and saw what good pigmentation really was. I have to pile this on to get it to show up and it seems to fade within a few hours. Not a fan of the shimmer either. It's not BAD, but I wouldn't repurchase.

This has been my favorite "warm" blush for about 2 years now. I'm head over heels in love with Terracotta. It does show up a with little pink on me, so i've gotta disagree with the girls that it doesn't have pink in it. It's mostly and orangey, bronzey color, but it's got a smidgen of coral in it.
There is shimmer in this blush, but don't be afraid! I have oily skin and huge pores, so I generally skip the shimmer and go straight for the matte. This blush (I have it on right now) is amazing for any skin type. It seems a little scary but the shimmer definitely works with the look, not against. I can see how this can be used as a bronzer too, but i've never used it that way.
This blush is also really pigmented and blendable, so I usually use a MAC 187 brush to apply it sheer, and eventually build up the color for a great, glowing and sunkissed look. =)

I received this in a swap and I love it. I love that this particular shade has no pink in it whatsoever. For the ladies with cheeks already pigmented this will serve as a great neutralizer. I also love the fact that this can serve as a bronzer as well and would probably compliement varying skintones. I think the packaging is cute and practcal. The plastic cover did pop out, but I just superglued it right back in. This product goes to show you that you can get quality without breaking the bank. Will definitely repurchase and possibly try similar shades.

This is a wonderful blush/bronzer for anyone with medium-tan complexions. It gives a beautiful sunkissed, Jlo glow to your skin.. gorgeous! Terracotta and Pinched are definitely holy grails.

This is everything everyone else has been saying about this blush! It is a peachy bronzy tone....on my NC 20-25 skin. I love it. I would wait for a sale on cherryculture... not that it's not worth the cost.. but the blush is awesome!!

This blush is a peachy/bronze/orange. There is NO pink tones at all in this blush. It's a great neutral cheek color. One of my favorite looks is dark smokey eyes (I use a black shadow on the lid and a dark brown in the crease), this blush, and NYX orange soda lipstick. It looks super shimmery/frosty in the pan, but shimmer in blushes never actually shows up on my cheek, this one included. It looks satin on me. It's very soft but not quite powdery. Very blendable and buildable. It last a decently long time on me. It's a user friendly blush in that it's not soooooo pigmented that you look like a clown easily and blending it out is pretty easy. I really think NYX blushes are especially great for beginners with blush and if you want to experiment with different tones/colors before you invest in something like NARS. I've been very bold trying colors I normally never would have (NXY red and pinky and raisin blush for example) by trying these user friendly, inexpensive blushes. Love them!

NYX Terracotta is a blush but the color can double as a bronzer. I would describe it as being terracotta in color but it is not matte. I like the pigmentation, a little goes a long way, it is very easy to over-do Terracotta. The color is gorgeous but there is some shimmer in it. I paid less than $5 for this shade and I would repurchase. I took one point off because I think the shimmer is a little much.

This is my favourite blush. I like the colour a lot. It has great pigmentation. You can use it for something in between a blush and a bronzer. The only thing I don't like is that the packaging is a bit fragile.

I am soo impressed with NYX I can't stop ordering from them!!! This blush does not go on the way it looks in the package- it's more orangey-tan. It's HIGHLY pigmented, and a little really does go a long way. I was hoping for a light, golden peach with this color, but I am loving what it delivers. It totally brightens my face, and this is a great alternative to the usual pink shades. This stuff stays put, and it stays vibrant. I am loving this blush!

This is too dark on me to be a blush but it works great as a bronzer! So pretty. Makes me look sunkissed, not orange. I use this to contour my cheeks and put a little blush on the apples of my cheeks over it and it looks amazing=) This was my first blush from NYX and I'm impressed. It's very pigmented and lasts on my skin almost all day. Definetly a must have for fair skinned gals looking for some color. I thought milani's blushes and bronzers were my HG, but NYX's are so much better. Much more pigmented and they last longer on my oily skin. Love it and would definetly repurchase if i run out!
