It is appealingly drawn on the lid (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyeliner

This clue could be a double definition.

'it is appealingly drawn' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the lid' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
I also know that 'lid' relates to this answer.

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for eyeliner that I've seen before include "Facial cosmetic" , "it draws attention to the viewer" , "Dark marks left by this" , "kind of cosmetic" , "Cosmetic pencil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
