I don’t remember if there’s an actual ratio to go by, but many recommend adding a little cornstarch to your varnish. I tried it and really liked the results.

I tried adding a teaspoon of diotamaceous earth and should have added probably half a tsp. Result was VERY matt.

thankyou, where do you get it
My neighbor had some so she gave me some. I think I read that amazon has it.
You might want to try it on something first. I just sold a baby I used it on and I have been worried that was too rough…but I really do t thi k it was. I have never gotten su h a matt result.

Are you maybe adding to much thinner compared to the amount of matte varnish?
I used all Matt Varnish on the bottom doll, And 50/50 ratio on the others

I don’t know how to help but I just wanted to say your babies are lovely and welcome. I am not new to the forum but very inexperienced as a reborn artist.

thankyou so much for recipe
Yes! Do this! I had the same problem with genesis. There must be a bad batch of matte going around because it made my babies shine like the sun!
