Most painters will use latex caulk. You can get silicone in a color to better match your brick but it is more expensive and harder to work with.

What is the difference between brick veneer and brick masonry?
Masonry implies bricks, blocks, or stones held together with mortar. Bricks are fired ceramic. Blocks are usually formed concrete. And stones are formed naturally and quarried from the earth. They are held together with mortar. Concrete is used as mortar, but concrete can also be poured to make slabs and foundations. I think the difference is that concrete can be used by itself without being considered masonry. For example, even statues can be made from concrete by pouring them into a mold.

How is brick veneer cut?
Brick veneer that is in place and needs to be cut, such as to create a new opening, is usually cut with a circular saw and a masonry blade. For smaller cuts, an angle grinder and cutting disc can be used. Some saws are specially set up for masonry cutting, and spray water on the masonry while they cut, to keep the blade cool. Do not try to do this with a saw that is not designed for wet cutting. It may short circuit and electrocute you. Bricks that are not in place can be cut with a saw or grinder, and some can be cut by being struck with the right hand tool (like a bolster) applied with a skilled hand.
