Missing brush tool

I recently upgraded Lr to 11.5 and cannot find the editing brush (as in selecting a face in a crowd and making it lighter or darker).  It was previously far right, top of the adjustments column.  Any advice?  This is a bit of an emergency.

If you had read the "What's New" articles (Top line of the 'Help' menu) you would know that the Brush (and Gradients) are now in the Masking panel with the circular tool icon. And the Keyboaard shortcut [ K ] will still activate the Brush.
