This is a peachy copper shade with silver microglitter. As a blush, it sheers out to leave a glowy sheen good for a bronzed look; but I much rather prefer my Milani baked blush in luminoso for the same efffect. The shimmer is less obvious in direct sunlight & the color has more of a punch on my NC25 skin. I do like this to highlight sometimes & it makes a beautiful eyeshadow that brings out my brown eyes.

This is a beautiful color!!! I have neutral undertones with light skin and dark hair and eyes...this makes me look like a godess or something! It's a beautiful neutral color with a glow to it. I am simply in love with how versatile and beautiful this shade is. The real kicker for me is how long this wears. My face eats blush up so fast, it's a miracle that I love the color and it lasts!

This has been my go to blush all summer. I'm NC 35-40 for reference and this blush looks beautiful on medium or tanned skin. Leaves a nice peachy glow with shimmer, and the price is fantastic I ordered them from ebay I got 3 blushes for about $10.00.

This a beautiful, sheer, shimmery peach blush. I often dust this over another blush and it instantly gives it a sheer peachy glow. Love this for summer. I really like these NYX blushes. I can't buy these locally and have bought mine on Ebay or Cherry Culture. So you are guessing a little on the colors. This is one I really like.

I am very pale so I have historically purchased lighter, pinker blushes that look like they belong on the “English Rose” complexions. I made a conscious decision to purchase a mix of blushes from NYX because the price point is so low and they get great reviews. Terra cotta was out of my normal comfort zone but I am so very, very glad I deviated. I absolutely love this blush. I use this as a final wash over pink blushes that have been set with powder. It adds just a hint of warmth and glow. I am giddy when I put it on because I love the effect so much. I respectfully disagree with the sentiment that this blush is for darker skin tones only. I am NW10, a classic redhead and I can’t get enough of this stuff. I love it and I will repurchase if I use it up.

This is not the bronzer shade for fair skin, that one is called Taupe. I am past fair, into light/medium skin, so it's barely a contour powder for me. You can see that this is a warm mink peach with golden tones in the compact. You can also see the shimmer without opening it. It's a pretty highlighting blush. I wish they would stock more of the Angel shade. My Ulta didn't have a single Angel blush.

This it NOT your color if you're fair-skinned or if you don't like glittery blushes. I'm NC20 and I bought this to achieve a bronzing effect. It's way too warm for me (I'm NC20 but I look better in neutral to cool colors) and also too dark, so it looked muddy. Not to mention that it's not shimmery, it's glittery. I tried to make this work for me, but I gave up and gave this to my sister, as she has darker skin. I'd reccomend it to skin tones NC30 or darker. It's also very, very hard to blend. It was one of my first NYX products and I'm sad to say that it was a huge miss.

Being on the cool side, I have a hard time finding warm blushes that look good on me. A lot of warm bronze/peach shades turn orange and muddy on me. But, I took a shot w/ Terra Cotta and love it. This gives the perfect hint of a warm glow to brighten the face. The pigmentation is great and it lasts all day. For 6 bucks, I think this blush is a steal and would rec it to anyone.

This blush is amazing. It last all day and it is easy to blend. I use this with my eco tools blush brush and I swipe this on my cheeks and sometimes I contour with this. It's a peachy pink with some bronze undertone to this and it looks great on my nc 25 skin color. It's finely milled too. This is one of my favorite blush/bronzer.

Aptly named, NYX Terra Cotta is a warm terra cotta shade. On me, this shade has enough orange/peach to warm up my skin tone. It looks more shimmery in the package than it does on the skin. This color is very pigmented and I used a large fluffy blush brush to apply and blend. Overall, this is a great blush and I can see it flattering almost any skin tone. The retail price for this blush was just under $5 and I would repurchase again.

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.

NYX Terra Cotta Blush is a stunning mid toned peachy blush that looks amazing on my NC44 skin tone. I never go wrong when I use this one. It always applies just right, so I don't worry about if it's too much or not enough blush on. I put this one right up there with my favs MAC Margin and Cantaloupe.

I love this color. It's a bit darker than MAC's Eversun which I also love, but this one goes on effortlessly. If I was doing a blind product test, I would not know that this was a "drugstore" product. I will be trying more NYX blushes in the near future.

A fantastic and inexpensive shimmer blush from NYX. I have been using this for months and it's my favorite. A natural medium-toned glowy peachy-pink-brown shimmery blush that creates a perfect healthy look without being over the top or too shimmery (although you certainly can build it for more effect). A bit on the warm side but neutral enough where I think it would look good on a lot of people. I have hit pan on this which is extremely rare for me, considering how much makeup I actually own. I think this blush from NYX lasts a little longer than their matte colors -- the same situation I've found with MAC. On par almost identical quality and wear time as MAC, so I don't see the need to pay more.
