While she could use the parable to her advantage, Rodriguez says she always tells people the truth right away.
She started creating content on TikTok and Instagram under the name @pocaeve to share fun makeup videos.
But because she kept getting “bombarded” with comments about the similarities, she decided to go along with it.
While she shares several makeup looks and some on her clients, she also posts recreations of some of JLo’s most famous looks.
While she doesn’t always see the resemblance herself, Rodriguez says she’s always taken it as a compliment to be compared to the singer and even now she still feels “honoured”
Rodriguez, seen here in a recent Instagram post, says she’s dyed her hair and undergoing weight changes, yet people have compared her to JLo
Her videos feature makeup looks inspired by the music videos All I Have and I’m Real, as well as an iconic JLo look from the 2005 Latin Billboard Awards.
While she doesn’t always see the resemblance herself, Rodriguez says she’s always taken it as a compliment to be compared to the singer and even now she still feels “honored.”
She concludes, “I’ve been stopped countless times just walking around town. People always ask if I’ve heard it before and I’m always like… “Yeah!”
“She is a multidimensional icon. There’s no doubt about that. She is an atmosphere.
“Honestly, I really don’t see it, to me this is just my face. Sometimes I see it for a second, but then I quickly don’t see it again.
My favorite is when people stare at me for ages and ask, “Do you know who you look like?” because the answer is always the same.
“When I meet new people I always get the same compliment and all my friends have always told me I look like her.
“I’ve dyed my hair, had weight changes, and it doesn’t matter — apparently I always look like her.”
Rodriguez has never met her famous doppelgänger, but says she’d love to and would “probably be girl crushing” if she did.
