What is the difference between matte emulsion and active emulsion paint?

Typically emulsion paint is chosen for walls and ceilings. Active emulsion is water-based paint that doesn’t have a strong paint smell. When applied, it dries relatively quickly. Active emulsion paint leaves a shiny, clean finish. Matt emulsion leaves a non-shiny, velvety finish that helps hide small imperfections in walls or ceilings.

What’s the difference between water-based eggshell paint and oil-based eggshell paint?

Eggshell is a popular choice with interior designer’s thanks to its beautiful finish and smooth to the touch texture. As a rule of thumb, water-based eggshell leaves more obvious brushstrokes on a surface. This is particularly true when applying water-based paint to wooden surfaces. Oil-based eggshell paint leaves a smoother finish, so this should be considered before choosing between water-based or oil-based eggshell paint.
