Rev matching question

My understanding of how rev matching is done is:
1. hit brakes
2. clutch in (RPMs drop below road speed)
3. downshift while blipping throttle
4. release the clutch smoothly

My question pertains to steps 3 and 4. When I blip the throttle to get engine speed to match road speed, do I stay on the throttle and maintain those RPMs while releasing the clutch? Seems like I would have to since releasing the throttle even a little would drop RPMs and provide less rev matching as the engine and transmission engage.
