You can’t really rotate the brushes themselves (although you can open up the brushes palette and try playing around with different brush dynamics and controls, but these general affect using a brush to make strokes). With something like an eyelash brush, where you are using the brush almost like a stamp, applying the brush image once or one at a time, what I would suggest you do is create a new layer and apply the eyelash brush. Now, go up to Edit>Transform and select the Flip Horizontal or try Rotation or a combination. With this on a separate layer, you can also use the Move tool and move the eyelashes more precisely in to place where you need them. You can also use other Transform tools to Scale (change size) or Warp (change the shapes).

You can try things out by creating a new layer for each time you want to apply the brush. This will allow you to experiment without messing up the rest of the image. You can always delete layers you don’t need.
