What does the cryptic crossword clue "Reportedly, setter invents enhancement for viewers (3,6)" mean?

The definition is "enhancement for viewers". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). eye sounds like I MAKEUP meaning ‘the setter invents’. I would have hyphenated make-up, and been wrong. The answer is EYE MAKEUP.

Reportedly, setter invents enhancement for viewers (3,6)
