in Asian countries you could ask for wall filler and paint with that...
Gesso/ wall filler is used on surfaces which is difficult to paint on ...such as plastic or slippery foam board...it is also used on fabric so that the paint does not seep through.
If you are using wood or hardboard you could even use emulsion paint or acrylic paint....not latex paint as it would be slippery and then you would be unable to paste the egg shells.
Hope what I have written helps you...if you need more help please feel free to ask !
