The great paint finish debate: eggshell or satin for a bathroom?

Went with satin for the moisture resistance, but after two coats the wall looks like a plastic shower curtain. Should have just used the eggshell and dealt with wiping it down more. Anyone have a brand that doesn't look so fake?

Try Benjamin Moore's satin, less plastic sheen.

Used to think all satin was the same. You're right, theirs looks way more natural.

And yeah @anderson.taylor it's like everything's getting that fake shiny coat these days.

My last paint job looked like a cheap raincoat. @anderson.taylor gets it.
