Painting over just about any sheen is possible. The only thing that I would recommend is to primer the surface 1st for a better application of the eggshell. If you do not primer the surface there may be a chance that the high gloss will show through and end up costing you more money to apply the much more expensive eggshell instead of the inexpensive primer. Unless you have plenty of paint for a second application of the eggshell. Then that would be okay. I do believe you can cover any sheen ( depending on color ) with two coats.

Yes, you can generally paint high gloss latex over flat latex paint. But you must do all the preparation work in the best tradition of any professional painter.

Additionally, everything that is to be painted my be scrupulously clean and free of anything that will restrict the new latex from sticking to the old.
