Cosmetic words to numbers

[The riddler]

Hello all, i found a menser teaser in the daily express, this is the first Menser teaser where i can not find any connection between anything.


The order of the number for various cosmetics are as shown. What number is EYELINER?

MASCARA-1100
CONCEALER-250
LIPSTICK-152
LIPGLOSS-101
EYELINER-?

I don't know the answer to this brainteaser and i could not find it on the internet, if anyone has any ideas about how the hell this brainteaser works please post them.

Thanks for any replies :wink:

EYELINER is 51.

Roman numerals?

M+C = 1100
C+C+L = 250
L+I+I+C = 152
L+I+L = 101
L+I = 51

OOOOOOOOH, sadly i've never done Roman numerals, well done and thanks for helping.
