Sam Heughan Is Not a Fan of His Long Makeup Sessions

Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe pair up on the carpet at the mid-season premiere of their hit Starz series Outlander on Wednesday (April 1) at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.

The actors were joined by co-stars Lotte Verbeek, Tobias Menzies, and Graham McTavish, as well as creator Ronald D. Moore.

Sam recently chatted with the New York Daily News about having to sit through long makeup sessions for the show.

“It’s ridiculous,” he said. “I’ll get into makeup at 4 a.m. and be there until 8 or 9. And you have to be standing for most of it. But there was a lot of makeup time on Game of Thrones, too, and fortunately the makeup team and I get on well. We play music. I also know a lot about prosthetics.”

FYI: Sam is wearing Hugo Boss. Caitriona is wearing a Roland Mouret dress, Burberry shoes, a Halston Heritage clutch, and jewelry by Dana Rebecca Designs, Porter Lyons, and Graziela Gems. Lotte is wearing an Elizabeth and James dress.
