The short version

The Platinum Pixie is defined by a close pixie silhouette combined with an icy platinum finish, while the Blunt Bangs uses a dense straight fringe forming a clear horizontal line.

Both are rated high for maintenance in this guide, so the stronger distinction is close and sculpted versus graphic and face-framing.
