I would have mist coat the plaster (90%emulsion, 10% water) onto the plaster and primed the wood. then caulk between the wood and the window and walls. I would have then emulsion the walls, 2 coats, bringing the first coat over the caulk onto the wood. Then undercoat and gloss off by simply cutting in with the brush.

Yellow frog tape is low tack
Frog tape is the best. Different colours for tackiness i think. I dont use it anymore. I bought a couple of cheap steel plasters float and cut handle off the large one so easier to get angle against wall. Also use a brickies trowel for corners. Wipe down with baby wipes as you go so no build up of paint. Or if you got the time a cutting in brush works a treat. I watched a few clips from painters on YouTube. Talking about the way you load the brush with paint. Was like yeah yeah but it true. Get the right amount of paint on the right place on the brush and it works

You always run that risk with masking tape. I'd never use it; just cut in with a brush
