4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I agree that it is less general than "beauty accessories". I wanted to avoid the word "accessories" because that is also one of the subheadings. However, I think this is the best solution and can get round the repetition by xlating the subheading as "other accessories" (after brushes, powder puffs, etc.). Thanks for your suggestion!"

brushes and (other) accessories

I think it's probably clearest spelled out like this.
