Terracotta is a frosty pinky/peachy/bronzy color. On my NC42-44 skin I use it by itself sometimes, and at other times I layer it on top of another blush that has more color (ex: MAC Gingerly). I do love terracotta - it is my HG blush. Gives a tad bit of glowy color to my face, which is perfect for everyday look.

Having reviewed Terracotta, I must also add that I havent had a good experience with most other NYX blushes - blendability has been a big issue for me with NYX blushes.

I am an NC20 & this is just a beautiful peachy/bronze blush on me. Not orange at all. Silky, highly pigmented, slightly shimmery, blends like a very expensive product for about $5.

NW45/HIP 818.....Terracotta is a medium peach/bronze with a gold frost. Too light for me to be a blush. Makes the perfect highlight/luminizer. High quality blush. Lots of pigment, blends like a dream, & cost $4 at local beauty supply. Packaging similar to MAC. Has a nice raised pattern on it too. So glad I found this. *****UPDATE: *****Much prefer BenNye Lumiere 'Golden Apricot'.

Oh yes, I highly endorse this product. I am c40 and it shows up as a shimmery peachy bronze veil on me. This color has great character and depth to it - surprising for such an inexpensive one! It's also a creamier powder, not chalky. May be too much for lighter skins in the winter but give it a try in the summer when you have a tan - it's a perfect compliment!

Terracotta is a muted shimmering peachy light bronze. I am MMM/GGG (MAC C30, Aveda Sandstone, BE Medium Tan/Tan) and Terracotta applies as a pretty bronzy sheen on me. I think users who are more fair-skinned will get more of a peachy base color. I love this blush because it's not orangey in the least, and highlights the cheekbones with a nice glow.

I am so impressed with the texture, pigmentation, and packaging of this blush. The texture is so rich, and you only need a bit to get some color. I love the quilted embossing of the blush -- it's reminiscent of Chanel Irreelle blushes. The sturdy black plastic flip-top compact is very convenient as well.
