Ooo... I can more or less answer this one (just done my CNFC and its fresh in my mind!)
The 'Flag' of the brush is the tip and its for fine and precision control.

Although why its call thus I dont have the answer doh!

The dark tips at the end of your brush....Possibly the shape...the middle is the belly and the metal part is the ferule. The flag is used to "inject" liquid into the powder and allow for precision in placement and shape...the belly holds the liquid you are injecting, and the ferule is the metal part that holds the bristles on to the handle. DO NOT ever touch any part of your brush except the handle with your fingers, this is the quickest way to give yourself contact dermatitis and chemical over exposure.

Hope this helps
