What is the difference between a blender and a burnisher?

A blender is soft and merges colors. A burnisher is hard and presses color into the paper for a glossy finish.

When should I use a blender pencil?

Near the end, once your layers are down. It fills the paper tooth, so later layers grip less.

Do they work with Prismacolor?

Yes. They work with oil and wax-based colored pencils.
