If you have warm or olive undertones, I'm pretty sure this colour will look great on you! I wouldn't use a heavy hand on this colour as too much will just look orangey, but blend it in lightly and you're face will have a nice subtle, healthy glow. I like to apply it to the apples of my cheeks and blend it out, but I believe if you have great bone structure or cheek bones, you can even use a light hand to contour the face and it and it would look great! My face is a bit more on the long side, so although the contour didn't work out too well on me since it made my face look slightly longer, the colour still popped. So now I just apply it on the apples of my cheeks and blend it out and it looks great!

I did a lot of research on swatches and pictures before I bought this, and I ended up mildy disappointed. This will not show up as a blush on me (NW40/43), but its great as a highlighter. I really like NYX's pricing and packaging, I cant say I will buy this again because Im not sure if Ill have to, considering how much product is in the pan.

this is probably my favourite blush. i'd been lusting for the nars blush in luster for aaages before i got this but i just could not justify spending that much money on a blush. so duh, i hunted google for a dupe and this one came up several times and although i haven't seen the nars blush in person, from the swatches i have seen they do seem extremely similar. it is a shimmery blush but it's not over the top or anything once it's applied - which it does beautifully, by the way. it's the most glowy peachy bronzy shade i've ever seen and makes the skin look alive and healthy. you're not gonna find chunks of glitter in there either and it has pretty great staying power. i'm on the fair side (between nc15 and nc20) but i don't find this too dark at all - you just need a light hand with it. unfortunately, the biggest downside to this is that it's staying power isn't great and fades at the 3-4 hour mark for me.

I ordered this off of beautyjoint.com. Such a gorgeous color on my nc30-35 skintone. It's a peachy/golden/bronzy color that automatically light up my face. When I use this blush, I skip the highlighter. This product gives your face a nice glow without being too sparkly/shimmery. Consistency is a bit soft and powdery and a little goes a long way. Def would repurchase!

This blush is good. 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.

EDIT: I don't wear this one much. One day I looked in the mirror and felt I looked too orange. Plus it is a little too shimmery. I still absolutely love dusty rose and this one is okay if used very sparingly.

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.

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!!
