Q: What are the Con’s of using eggshell or Satin Paints?

A: They tend to highlight any surface imperfections, so more surface preparation (like patching, texturing or sanding) will usually be needed before painting. They are harder to touch-up than lower sheen paints, because the higher sheen tends to highlight the slightly raised surface of the film where the touch-up was done. They way to touch up these paints is to paint the entire wall being painted from corner to corner.
