without a doubt the 187. it applies studio fix fluid foundation extremely well and it allows you to build up the foundation and get your desired coverage. love it!

You bet: stippling! Put a tiny bit of the foundation on the very tips of the 187's bristles and tap it lightly over and over again to your face. Don't drag it all over, that's your sure-fire way to streaky-town. This method is sort of difficult to explain, so hopefully you understand what I mean.

I guess I'm the odd one out here 
I do use the 187 but not that often anymore, I use the 109 for my studio fix liquid. It's described as a small contour brush
M·A·C Cosmetics | 109 Small Contour Brush
Most people wouldn't reach for this as a foundation brush, but it gives flawless full coverage when properly buffed
The tip of the brush is shaped like a dome and holds the foundation perfectly
You can also use it as a contour for blush/highlight ect
Check it out! Even if you don't buy it, take a look at it, it's really a fantastic brush.
(187 is great too!)

I use the 169 brush to apply my SFF,I put three pumps of the foundation on the brush and then I stipple it on and then I do circular motions to smooth it out.It gives me a flawless finish and Ive even been complimented by a MAC MA on how my skin looks so flawless! She wanted to now what I use to keep my skin so smooth and I told her it was all the makeup not my skin care routine because I have several acne scars and discoloration.I do have the 187 but it doesn't give me the finish the 169 does.

Not odd at all. I actually saw a youtube tutorial where the girl used this same brush to apply her SFF. I will be saving up for this brush, for sure!

The 187 gives my the most flawless/airbrushed looked.
If you have problems streaking or cakeyness it might even be because of a wrong color. It was my issue! As soon as I found the right coverage this issue went away.
Another reason for it is if your foundation is cold, it will not blend as well. If you are applying foundation yourself, roll a cleansed finger in the foundation to warm it up. This applies to conceler too.
If you use too heavy of a hand too it can cause cakeyness!
