Throughout her career, Yip has appeared in various films and television shows, often taking on roles that are more transient or secondary. Notably, she showcased her versatility by portraying two distinct characters in the sci-fi series "Andromeda," where her first character faced arrest, while her final role ended in tragedy with her character's murder. Yip collaborated with Jet Li in two films—playing a romantic lead in "Black Mask" and later, a fierce motorcycle assassin in "Romeo Must Die," where she met her end at the hands of both Jet Li and Aaliyah.

Despite her impressive talents, many of the television series she participated in failed to secure a second season, and her leading roles in films were predominantly in direct-to-video releases. More recently, she appeared in "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" and made a guest appearance in the Canadian series "Blood Ties."
