How to touch up marked walls?

I have recently had living room redecorated and shortly afterwards had new carpet laid. Unfortunately the carpet layers marked the walls in various places.
when touching up the marks I found that the paint became shiny. How can I remedy this?

Buy matt paint emulsion and use this

depens on the paint sometimes you need to repaint whole wall

Have you used silk emulsion instead of matt?

To be honest it might need the walls re doing if it’s noticeable just sheet up really good first
