| | | brosses plates courtes | Explanation:
In English there are flats and brights. Both are flat brushes; the flats have longer bristles than the brights.
In French, they are all called "brosses plates", the flats are "brosses plates longues". You can say "brosses plates courtes" for brights but the "courtes" is not essential.
