Some make-up has to spot a cruise ship (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eye-liner

'some make-up' is the definition.
(type of eye make-up)

'spot a cruise ship' is the wordplay.
'spot' becomes 'eye' (both can mean to notice or observe).
'a cruise ship' becomes 'liner' (I've seen this before).
'eye'+'liner'='EYE-LINER'

'has to' is the link.

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