Default Seeing wet-edge of paint on a ceiling

When emulsion painting a ceiling with paint of the same colour as is already
on, I have great difficulty detecting the wet-edge of where I have just
painted. And this makes it difficult to know where to apply the paint next.

Is there anything I can do to make the just-painted wet edge show up better,
so I do not end up with missed patches?

You can get emulsion which when wet is pink but dries white. Not sure
where it was from.

Never tried it - is very expensive compared with conventional stuff IIRC
