popcorn ceiling to orange peel

I am trying to change the texture of my ceiling from popcorn to orange peel. I already removed the popcorn, but I am not sure what to do next. Can anyone help me, please. Thank you.

Skim coat it, sand it and rent a hopper gun and spray it

Welcome to the forums

The smoother you can get the ceiling the better it will look once orange peeled and painted. The #1 reason for using popcorn is to hide finishing defects - the ceiling doesn't need to be finished as well = less work/cost for builder.
