Star-making skills (4)
I believe the answer is:
arts
'skills' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'star-making' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates anagramming the letters.
'star' with letters rearranged gives 'ARTS'.
(Other definitions for arts that I've seen before include "Aesthetic pursuits or creations" , "___ and crafts" , "'Poetry, music, painting (4)'" , "Tricks" , "Drawing, painting, etc" .)
