Practice, practice, practice. The secret is training your brain to know just how big of a blip to use.

Remember when you first started driving a stick shift and you had no idea what gear to use? You'd be driving down the street at 40mph and then brake and turn for a corner and you were never sure whether to be in 3rd or 2nd. How did you figure this out? Simple - experience! You drove around a lot and eventually your brain figured out what gear was right for any given speed and maneuver. Now you don't ever give it a second thought and gear selection just comes completely natural.

The same is true for rev-matching. Do it at every opportunity every time you drive and pretty soon, you'll be a pro.
