Turnbull this week took to YouTube armed with a National Broadband Network (NBN) information kit that comes with a whole bunch of pens, USB sticks and even newspapers.

The shadow minister seemed to be having a lot of fun, and he's hardly the first politician to use their political opponents' own props against them. Then Deputy-Prime Minister Julia Gillard did the same thing with WorkChoices paraphernalia in 2008, and Joe Hockey even had his own cardboard cut-out of then-Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

But it all makes you wonder: if your political opponents are just going to mock you, is there any point in trying to distribute educational material on a big government project like the NBN?

Are you moved and want to have a try? Then do not wait any more and come to mac cosmetics outlet to buy a cheap Mac brush and make a small face. What you need are a wide head brush, flat brush, a deep color foundation, a light color foundation and a blush. First, use wide head brush to dab some deep color foundation on the cheek from temple to ear on the base of whole foundation. Second, still use wide head brush to dab a bit deep color foundation and brush crosswise the cheekbone. Deep color foundation should also be dabbed on the position between the lower jaw and neck. Some foundation dabbed on the forehead can show the roundness of forehead. Then you can brush some blush on the face to show your energy. You can dab blush on the high position of your cheeks.
