Dark edges where ceiling meet wall

[Monsoon]

I have newly plastered walls.

In the past I have noticed that after painting the walls with 2/3 coats of good quality white emulsion that the point where the ceiling and wall meet around the perimeter of the room the paint looks thinner.

Is it standard practise to paint these edges 1st with a brush before using the roller on the rest of the wall?

I've also seen the following a Corner Paint Roller is this a better option than the brush for this problem area?

Awwww what a cute little tool never seen that before.

the trick is to do your cutting in first, best for you to do one wall at a time, specially on your last coat.
Cut in top and bottom and the sides, then roll upto the cutting in, you could use a little rad roller to roll along at the top as near to the ceiling as you can without hitting it.

What is the Exact name of your 'good quality white emulsion' ?

Also what type of surface are you applying your emulsion ?

The product I used was Crown Trade Covermatt

The walls are newly skimmed with Thistle multi finish plaster.

Me personaly would not worry about it.

This is common when using high opacity matt finishes on new/bare plaster. You have used the correct emulsion for your task anyway.

Next time you paint then use Vinyl Matt......or Vinyl Soft Sheen.

The plan on the new project is to apply my mist coat then the covermatt followed by a final coat of Washable Flat Matt

I've not used the washable stuff before, so i'll see how that works out
