Eye make-up from a ship? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a ship?' is the definition.
(liner is a kind of ship)

'eye make-up from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liner that I've seen before include "Material applied to inner surface" , "Cruise ship" , "Large passenger vessel" , "QE2, perhaps" , "that's put in bin" .)
