The actress said: ‘If he washes his face with water at night, I’m lucky. I’m the one that has to smear stuff on his face.
‘He’s like a boy who’s like, I’ve never had to do anything. I’m never going to do anything.
‘I was like, “Not the case for me.” It took me an hour and a half to get ready [for an event], and he came up at the last minute and in five minutes, he was done.’
Despite this, Macaulay makes Brenda feel beautiful even when she’s not wearing any make-up.
Brenda said: ‘I think he’s the one that really made me feel the most beautiful when I’m about to go to bed and I have nothing on my face and I’m so tired.
‘We’re about to watch some really silly thing on TV, and he looks at me, and [I’m like], ‘He makes me feel so confident.’
‘I have someone who makes me feel beautiful without a stitch of make-up on, because he has to sit through my 20-minute self-care at night.’
The pair – who were recently seen in a rare appearance at a Clarins party over the weekend – have been going strong since 2017.
The couple, who both began their careers at a young age, first met on the set of Dads.

Culkin claimed Song at first brushed him off, which she protested when they both appeared on the actor’s Bunny Ears podcast.
They met again when each was cast in Green’s comedy-drama Changeland, shot in Thailand in 2017, and that’ when they really got to know each other.
The pair don’t speak often about their relationship, but the Righteous Gemstones actor offered a peak into their situation during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience in 2018.
‘I have a good life now. I’ve got a special lady friend. We have a dog and a cat. It’s one thing to exchange keys. It’s another to get a cat,’ he explained of their commitment.

The movie about a young boy who must defend his family home against some bungling burglars after he’s left behind by his parents in the scramble to catch a flight for a Christmas vacation was an instant hit.
Culkin became an international star at the age of 10.
The film made $476.7 million. He returned to the character of Kevin again in 1992’s Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which was nearly as successful as the original, earning $359 million worldwide.
