Over the years, Jasmay has made herself a household name by acting in numerous TV drama and TV series including Dendam Terlerai, Balqis, Orang Kasar, Cinta Sempadan, Najwa, and Cinta Si Rempit. She then made her first silver-screen role in a highly promoted film Castello, where she starred alongside Rosyam Nor. The role earned Jasmay her first Malaysian Film Festival 2006 nomination for the Best New Actress Award. Her career soared and she won a Best Actress Award for Malaysian Film Festival 2009 for her role in the film Papadom and a Best Actress Award for her role in an indie-gone-mainstream film KAMI. Jasmay directed and produced a telemovie entitled #SoKampung under her production company, Mermaid Studios, thus marking her directorial debut. This was followed by a teen drama The Gadis.

Jasmay married her longtime love, Malaysian businessman Fathuddin Mazlan, on 2 February 2013. They have two daughters, born in 2014 and 2016. Liyana's father, Jasmay Md Shah died in December 2021 due to lung cancer. This was followed by her mother, Habsah Simpon died in May 2023 due to lymphomal cancer. Following her parents' death, Liyana expresses her concern that due to genetical factors, she would have a risk to get cancer in an interview with Malaysian newspaper, Kosmo!: "What happened to my parents became a lesson for me since both of them died due to cancer [...] So my genetics are indeed at risk for cancer".
