I recently heard that having a square ended lip brush brings more precision to applying lipstick. As a lover of straight lines and a person who can't work in a room with wonky paintings, I decided getting a square ended brush would be great.

I did it purely by eye, around 5am. Not too bad right? I'll have to test it out later, but I'm pretty pleased. The point lip brush worked well, but I think a square ended brush will suit me better.

Nick off tiny bits at a time, and try to measure the brush against something straight.
*UPDATE*
I recently tried using this brush for lipstick - I got pretty good results!
