The best results I found was to use an old paintbrush and "dab" the popcorn ceiling in place. This way you have good control of the application and can get a pretty even/blended application.

If you are patching an older ceiling, the patch will likely appear much whiter than the surrounding ceiling. I painted my ceilings afterwards, and ended up with a pretty seamless result.
What did you use to paint the popcorn ceiling?
