Simple answer:

Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are the two muscle types not under conscious control.

More detailed answer:

There are three types of muscle tissue: Skeletal muscle, Cardiac muscle and Smooth muscle.

Skeletal muscle is attached to the bones of the skeleton. They form the flesh of the skin and when they contract, they pull on bones and skin, providing body movements. Skeletal muscle is under our conscious control and is called voluntary muscle.

Cardiac and smooth muscle are both involuntary muscles (not under conscious control)

Cardiac muscle, as the name suggests is only found in the wall of the heart. Its contractions help propel the blood from the heart, through the blood vessels to all parts of the body.

Smooth muscle is found mainly in all the hollow organs other than the heart (blood vessels, uterus, and digestive and urinary tract organs. Its main function is to squeeze substances through these organs by alternately contracting and relaxing.

What muscles are under voluntary control of the brain?

Skeletal muscles that move our bones are under voluntary control. They have a microscopic appearance with striations so they are called striated muscle. Some striated muscles such as muscles of the eyelids (the obicularis muscle of the eye lid) are under both voluntary and involuntary control... you can be blinking by thinking or blink without thinking. This is partly because the obicularis has some specialize "smooth" involuntary muscle fibers mixed in. There are many muscles called smooth muscles that are part of organs such as the stomach and intestine that are not under voluntary control. This muscle has no microscopic striations and is called smooth. The last main type is cardiac that is somewhat like striated but is typically not under voluntary control.
