I take a dremel to most of my longer make-up brushes. I don't like them longer because they don't fit in my drawer & because I can't get close enough to the mirror.
FWIW, I bought a nice 10/0 (I think it's 10/0, might be smaller lettering is worn off) liner brush at Michael's craft store and bent it in my desk vice. You could do the same thing with a pair of pliers or vice grips.
