Use a satin sheen base coat. Eggshell is another option since you don't need a lot of open time. However, since you will probably be using a glaze, the sheen you end up with is more like satin.
Another alternative is to use a textured paste (spackle or joint compound) over the taped blocks and then after it is dry you paint over it with your base coat latex paint. Afterwards, you use the poofy pad to add a color wash over the textured blocks. This would be more time consuming but would give you a 3 dimensional look.
