Hhm, that is one of the requirements, see under the Windows section:
http://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html?highlight=requirements

You should be able to install them with 'pip' - e.g. 'pip install six'

numpy is a bit more of a hazzle, in the past Christoph Gohlke's site had 
.exe's but there are now wheels, so you need to download the correct one 
(win32 and py3.4) and then use pip to install it.
