Make up way to view cruise ship (3-5)

I believe the answer is:

eye-liner

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

'make up' is the definition.
(I know that Eye liner is a type of make up)

'view cruise ship' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cruise ship' becomes 'liner' (I've seen this before).
'eye'+'liner'='EYE-LINER'

'way to' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
