Marie Matteucci : Taking Las Vegas by Storm

Marie Matteucci has been named, “Best Facialist in Las Vegas”. She was also named, “Las Vegas Beauty Trailblazer”, but who is this woman who My Vegas Magazine said is, “Taking Las Vegas by Storm”.

Marie grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. She started modeling at a young age and was doing runway by the time she was a preteen. Being in front of the camera and strutting down the runway came very naturally to her. When she was seventeen years old, she was offered a modeling contract in Hollywood California and soon became a working teenage model living in Los Angeles. When asked what her friends back home thought, she responded, “A few of my closest girlfriends had babies right around that time. They would call me and say that they were up at 2 o’clock in the morning nursing the baby and they saw me in a music video on MTV. In a way, they envied my life, and in a way, I envied theirs”.

Not only was Marie featured in many music videos and magazines in the United States, when she was eighteen years old, she started getting a lot of work in Japan. She worked with huge music artists like Hiromi Go and Japan’s most famous rock band, X Japan. Marie starred in three of their music videos. “I fell in love with Japanese food and culture. I found it so lovely, the respect and the manners. Quite old world. Right up my alley.“

By the time she was nineteen years old, she was a seasoned model with a stellar reputation. “I would get jobs that I didn’t even have to audition for. I would be recommended for the job from other casting directors because of my work ethic and professionalism.”

Through the years, Marie continued her modeling career doing print work, catalog, Editorial, and music videos. She was the spokesmodel for the Korean clothing line, “Mook”. There were billboards of her all over Korea, and she would often get recognized in Los Angeles. “I would be shopping on Melrose and a group of Korean girls would approach me to take pictures. I was always very accommodating. I was so grateful to that brand, they kept me on for a very long time.”

Marie was also well known in Japan, she was the girlfriend of one of Japan’s biggest rock stars. “I met Yoshiki when I was cast to play the lead in his music video for the song, ‘Dahlia’. I went on to do a couple more music videos and overtime, he and I got to know each other.” Their relationship lasted for five years. “His life was so big that I sort of lost myself along the way. When he and I broke up, I had to re-discover myself. Who was I outside of this relationship?  The world felt different. In a way, I lost my connection with American culture.” Although the two went their separate ways, romantically, Marie and Yoshiki remain friends to this day. “He knows me, he knows my character. And I know his. There is a comfort level that I have with him that’s never left.

A few years later, Marie was married and had two boys who are currently 13 and 10 years old. She is now living in Las Vegas where she runs and operates MMM Beauty Secrets, her aesthetics spa. She also has created a morning and an evening serum. QUENCH and LUMINESCE can be purchased through her, online, and also in various spa around the country. QUENCH was named the Official Serum of the Miss Silver State Beauty Pageant.
