I use brush-on Dullcote Lacquer.

But you can't use it straight on acrylic paint, as it is something of a paint stripper. So I varnish first with a craft spray polyurethane varnish, then apply the dullcote lacquer when this is dry.

I used Army Painter’s Anti-Shine Matt Varnish for the very first time yesterday and I think it worked really well. It cover well and eliminate the "shinny spots" where magic wash was used. I’ve ordered two cans from North Bay Games & Hobbies and, as far as I can tell, it’s good value for the money.
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/
