Has an appreciation for what goes into port and its make up?

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyeliner

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

'has an' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'appreciation for what goes into port and its make up?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is present in the answer.
'port' could be 'l' (abbreviation for L - 'port' is 'left' on a boat) and 'l' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
