I like mac. I don't see what the big deal is. If you want foundation though I would go with Makeup Forever HD. It's GREAT!

It depends on what kind of skin you have (oily, normal, dry etc.), how much coverage you are looking for, what finish (matte, dewy, natural, etc.), and how you are applying the product. Knowing exactly what you have in mind for your skin is key in getting the perfect foundation for you. Personally, I love MAC. I have tried ssoooo many different kinds of foundations and powders and such out there and I always find myself going back to MAC. But that is just my experience.

I like MAC! Their lipsticks and eyeshadows and makeup brushes are really good! I haven't tried their foundations though, I don't think I ever will because I've heard bad things about them too lol I use foundation from Tarte, it's natural and good for your skin and I've never broken out from them <3

I don't like the foundations but I like the concealer, the Prep+Prime and the lipsticks.

Im a huge mac fan and some are worth splurging for and some you can find dupes for easily.

I don't dislike MAC, but I had discovered there are far better products out there, both more expensive and cheaper. I was a total MAC groupie and wouldn't veer away from it, just because of the 'brand'. Personally, I feel several of their products are overpriced and ineffective in comparison to other brands out there. I do LOVE LOVE LOVE the Mineralize SkinFinish and will pay $100 for it if I had to! I think there's a dupe for nearly everything they offer, though.

I am in love with there lipsticks, by far my favorite for years. I love there lip liners as well. And the fluid line ESP the p.m. shades are among my faves as well. I like there mineralized bronzes and brushes as well. But the foundation IM really not a fan.
