I always unscrew the cover undo the screws holding the base to the ceiling. Gently pullthe base awsy from the ceiling. Then cover the light fitting in plastic and tape it up . I then plaster as close to the cable as I can and refit the light fitting afterwards.
 
Just trowel it as usual then use the toe of your trowel to lose and trowel marks near the light fitting, its easier loosing a 4 inch trowel mark than a 8-14 inch mark.
When the plaster has took up a bit i usually screw the fitting back on loosely so it doesn't touch the plaster and run the toe of my trowel around the fitting a few times then unscrew and lightly brush.
