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!

I love this blush! I have medium tan skin (NC44), and this color looks very nice on me. I usually wear a coral or orangey color for everyday use. When I see this color and it was on sale, I thought I'd give it a go. It gives you a healthy glow, it is not pink, also not coral. It is very natural. I totally love it! I apply it with a mini kabuki and just buff it in on my cheeks. It looks gorgeous :-) and it lasts long too.

I loveeee NYX blushes!

This was my very first one and i'm still loving it to this day!
This gives me that perfect glowy sunkissed look (NC44)
I love to use this blush in the summer!
This is a great dupe for MAC's margin blush which i own too. I however find myself reaching for Terra Cotta way more.

Will definetly purchase again since i'm close to hitting pan :D

I purchased Terra Cotta during the big sale and I am glad that I did. This is my first nyx blush and I am LOVING it. Terra cotta is similar to my MAC fav Cantaloupe. It glides on very smoothly, lasts all day, and provides a subtle glow to my NC 43 skintone. I apply this blush using my 188 brush and it slides on perfectly.

I like this color on me. I'm a fairly pale Asian, and this gives my cheeks a shimmery bronzey glow. I don't wear foundation though, so this blush fades quickly. Took a lippie off for that.

This blush gives me a natural pinky flush for some surprising reason... and that's why I love it. Also I find it very pigmented so no worries about it not showing up! I love the metallic shimmer to this. So it's not sparkly but it will glow in the sun ^^ Overall, I'm glad I purchased this - works well as a highlighter.

Hate. Why is there shimmer in this? I picked terracotta as my first NYX blush purchase, and it is just...wrong. The bronzy/ peach/coppery color would be beautiful if it weren't for the pore-maximizing shimmer. It just looks cheap, unfortunately.

I uploaded artsiepartsy's beautiful pic of the blush, it is very true to the shade (thx artsiepartsy!!) .. it is very shimmery and almost gives off a metallic sheen if put on too strongly, pretty forgiving when blended and is a beautiful shade with lots of dimension .. if you have oily cheeks though, this might accentuate the sheen a bit much

This is a great blush - for me, it's one of my everyday, go-to staples. I use this underneath Pinky as a base color on my cheeks for a nice, subtle bronze glow and a bit of contour. However, Terracotta looks great on its own as well.. I'm so happy with my NYX blushes!

This is my HG blush! I love it. I was a bit nervous to use it at first because I am very fair and it looked awfully dark in the pan. However, it is gorgeous on my skin. It gives me a sunkissed look and a nice, subtle shimmer. I was also surprised at the color payoff and the lasting power of this blush, considering the price. I love that it's inexpensive because I don't feel bad using it every day. I think this would work well on all skin tones and I would recommend it to everyone!
The only downside of NYX is that I can't find it anywhere in my city. The nearest Ulta that carries it is over an hour away. Don't worry, I'm stocking up online!

This blush is really fabulous when and if you want a very glowy, summery, sunkissed look. The color is a nice peachy tone with gold dimension. I am NC35 and on my skin it is very pigmented, but not obnoxiously so.
The only reason I took off a lippie is that I find the formula to make my skin slightly greasy even though it is a powder blush. All that aside it is one of my favorites...I just make sure to blot :)

My current HG staple blush. Right now I'm on a NYX blush kick...I can quite confidently say that NYX are right up there...on par with high end brands like NARS and MAC...in fact there are quite a few MAC dupes amongst the NYX blushes. Terracotta for example is IMO a perfect dupe for MAC Margin...I bought Margin - swatched and compared the two and have placed Margin up for swap...I'll take the NYX over the MAC on this shade for sure. A lovely bronze with shimmer....applied its a wonderful contour colour that imparts a natural healthy glow. Another of my blush shades that seems to work very well for a great many different ppl (who won't stay the hell outta my traincase LOL) - I've repurchased a couple backups already (at this measly price why wouldn't you) as well as purchased some to use as gifts for family/friends.

I got this blush based on the reviews here. I usually go for peach blushes, and in the pan this looked very bronzy. Anyway, I used a light hand and tried it this morning. I looked glowy. I loved it. It's very pigmented, and I have had it on now for about 9 hours, and its still on my cheeks, and looks exactly like when I applied it this morning! I would definitley buy this again if I ever run out but between my MAC blushes and other NYX blushes, I probably wont ever run out! Swatch in my photo gallery!

Okay this is my 5th blush from NYX. I have 2 mosaics blushes &now this is my 3rd powder blush! I'm a NC30 skin, asian yellow undertones. Since i discovered NYX i am so in love with the brand. it's definitely great with blendability, quality and definitely good on the wallet. i know this will last me a long long time. i wanted to go for orangey/bronzey cheeks look for the summer. and well being yellow skinned i knew if i went too orange i'll look sick. Now Peach PB06 would be good for a mild fresh look but i wanted more dramatic w/o being gross looking so the PERFECT slightly orangey than peach would be....TERRACOTTA. i am a happy little girl! :)

This is my new HG blush. I'm NC30 and it gives me the perfect slightly peach-bronzed glow. I love NYX. The quality is very similar to MAC. Found this at Ulta. So happy Ulta now carries NYX and I no longer have to order it online.
