Done I need help with this line

[Tsuki no Hime]

Hello all!!

I'm a Japanese translator for a Spanish group, most of the times I do fine with the help of dictionaries and Google... But with this I'm completely lost:

After a guy dresses as a gorgeous woman another character says:

こうなるともう特殊メイクの域だな。

I don't really get the meaning of the hole sentence. I know the words, the grammar... but still can't make sense of it.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here

Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

こうなると = "At this point" , "At this rate"

もう = "already"

特殊メイク = literally "special make-up", which is professional make-up that is used in films to drastically change the character's look

域 = "realm"

So I'd translate this sentence as "This is in the realm of special make-up at this point." unless you can think of a better term then "special make-up". I can't think of a specific word for that atm.

I'm guessing the person's impressed with his transformation? Sounds like it.

I agree with Dr. DrCoke. If you add anything to his translation, a word "effects" can be tossed in. I am not sure which is better (a) special effects make-up*, or (b) special make-up* effects. make-up* = makeup

Thank you so much !!

I was lost with the word 域 in this sentence, I kept thinking of it as a (physical) region, area... and therefore I couldn't make sense of it together with 特殊メイク.



Thank you very much!!
