I use polycrylic on my projects. There is a matte version. I've had no problem with brush strokes or changing the color however if you are using a chalky paint that can happen with dark colors.
Polycrylic is my favorite top coat. It's water based and easy to clean up. Plus it won't yellow over time. Brush on several thin coats letting them dry between coats. Don't paint over spots you've already painted while the paint is wet. If you miss a spot, get it on the next coat.
