Star perhaps getting a black eye (6)
I believe the answer is:
shiner
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'star perhaps' is the first definition.
(something which shines)
'a black eye' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for shiner that I've seen before include "It may result from punch" , "Her sin (anag)" , "Light" , "injury to face?" , "Black eye (colloq.)" .)
