Apply the drywall compound with a taping knife or a trowel and then use a 3ft or 4ft length of C Channel (the channel that metal studs fit into)to smooth and even out the drywall compound. You hold the wide edge of the channel at a 45 degree angle to the ceiling and using both hands drag/pull the channel towards yourself. This allows you to cover a bigger area and it also helps level uneven areas of the ceiling. You might need to fine tune with a smaller knife or trowel.
I tried this tip after seeing it on television and found it to work quite well.
