Why did medusa used black magic to form or rearrange her face as she did not want anyone to see her beauty anymore?

Yeah, I don't know where you are getting your information but stop now, it's from a bad source. Medusa of Greek Myth is called the daughter of Phorkys, this being the god of the dangers of the sea, Medusa as his offspring is a monster born of monstrous gods, she was always a monster, lovely or not, and always turned living things - and people - to stone, she and her sisters were a explanation of reefs and how ships were caught by them. Athena, as a goddess who cursed Medusa for coupling with Poseidon in her temple - and made her "so hideous as to turn men to stone", is another aspect of Greek myth to explain why Athena - a virgin goddess - helped Perseus. No where in the Greek myth surrounding Medusa do they use "black magic to form or rearrange her face" because Medusa is somehow ashamed of her beauty or wishes to keep it for herself or not be seen by men.

Why do you turn to stone if you look into medusas eyes?

Medusa was turned into a Gorgon by reason of either two things: 1. Medusa and Poseidon were caught together at Athena's temple, and since Athena was promised to Poseidon, Athena could not punish him, so she punished Medusa by changing her into a monster. or 2. Medusa was a normal human woman that worked in the temple of Athena. Medusa thought herself to be more beautiful than any goddess, even Athena. When Athena found out about this, she turned Medusa into a monster that no one would want to look at. One attribute of Medusa's curse was to have eyes that turned anything into stone once they were looked into. Just a fraction of a look was enough. Just to show that no one would ever look upon her in beauty again. Perseus, the killer of Medusa, used a shield to look upon the reflection of Medusa, since a reflection will not harm you. As a side note, there is some evidence that the myth is based around the real illness, Seefer's disease (a.k.a. Human Statue Syndrome), which causes one's skin to harden in roughly twenty minutes (this being said, there have only been a handful of cases known to modern medicine).
