Your painting looks very like the reference! No worries :)
There are a few things that are different that can be fixed easily.

If you look at your drawing, it looks like you had trouble with the angle of the lips and the nose. If you see the structure outline I made, the nose points more to the left, and the bottom lip as well.
The jaw looks a bit out of place too.
Drawing a curved line where the center of the face should be would help this.
I transposed the outline of the reference onto the painting so you could see the differences.
Flipping your canvas can also help you spot things that could be adjusted.

Other than that, I think you’re good! Your shading is really good too!
