Is it forbidden to apply eyeliner (a black line above the eyelid) and mascara (eyelash thickener), knowing that they beautify and accentuate the eyes?

Applying kohl and eyeliner to beautify the eyes is permissible, as is thickening and beautifying the eyelashes. However, it is not permissible for a woman to display this adornment in front of non-mahram men.
