A mate in 1 could hardly be called brilliant.
Under the current definition of "brilliant", your move would have to be a sacrifice. That would mean it isn't mate.
Brilliant checkmate?

I almost did a Brilliant with a checkmate, and for some reason it doesn’t need to be a sacrifice.
Is it possible to checkmate with a brilliant move? The vast majority of the analyses I have seen rate the mate as the "best move" for being the most obvious (I guess...). Do you know any examples of a move considered "brilliant" that ends the game with a mate?
