Genesis has changed the Matte Varnish. It is no longer yellowish in color. The new Matte varnish looks Matte in low light and looks satin in sunlight. It gives a really nice life-like moist look without looking fake and shiny. This is great for adding to a finished doll that has gotten a little too shiny in the baking or paint removal process. It also adds a nice texture to the skin and can make your doll photograph better.
