I recently started doing makeup and practiced a lot. What do you think of my date look?

I love it! If I were you I think I’d add a bit of blush to give more color, but really it’s up to you. I know blush isn’t everyone’s favorite but it’s mine so I am a little biased 😄
I love the overall look, I’m just not a huge fan of a heavy looking base. I think it would look more skin like if you maybe used a setting spray at the end and then used a sponge on top to really push it in and smooth everything out. It just helps all the powders mesh together and look like one layer, instead of looking heavy and like they sit on top of each other.
Also if the reason for using so much powder is because your foundation doesn’t stay on, I’d definitely recommend using a primer underneath and then a fixing spray*.
Other than that, it’s a really lovely look and it suits you!
*fixing spray will make sure that your makeup stays on for longer, think urban decay all nighter or Charlotte tilbury airbrush setting spray (I hate the fact that she named it setting spray, when it’s actually a fixing spray) & setting sprays will make all the layers of makeup into one and help them look more skin like, think Mac fix+, fenty beauty what it dew spray, etc.
Best way to use these sprays I found is to use a setting spray once you are done with all your power base products, and a fixing spray once you are done with your whole makeup routine.
You do not need to use a fixing spray on the daily, because they usually contain alcohol, so it might irritate your skin, but I do recommend using a setting spray on the daily
