Yasmin Paige was born in London, and started acting while she was still a child. She made her professional debut in 2003, with the movie Wondrous Oblivion starring Delroy Lindo, and a run in the West End as Cosette in Les Misérables. Television roles the same year came in the telefilm Second Nature and an episode of Keen Eddie. Paige soon won a starring role in The Mysti Show and appeared in programmes such as The Last Detective and Doctors. Additional movies included the ensemble comedy-drama I Could Never Be Your Woman.

Paige was then cast as Maria Jackson, one of the central characters of the Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures. After making her debut in a New Year's Day 2007 special, Invasion Of The Bane, she starred in the programme's first season that autumn. However, it then became clear that production on the 2008 episodes would clash with Paige's GCSEs, and the actress made the decision to leave The Sarah Jane Adventures. Maria's farewell came in the second-season premiere, The Last Sontaran, although she could be heard in the next serial, The Day Of The Clown, and then made a surprise return in The Mark Of The Berserker.

Paige resumed her acting career once her GCSEs were behind her, while she also embarked upon a degree in English literature. Her role in Richard Ayoade's 2010 movie Submarine was critically lauded; she subsequently appeared in his next film, The Double. On television, Paige had prominent roles in Murderland and Pramface, plus episodes of The Good Karma Hospital. In Glue, she was reteamed with her The Sarah Jane Adventures castmate, Tommy Knight. During 2018, Paige narrated Jacqueline Rayner's short story Sarah Jane and The Temple Of Eyes for the 2018 audio version of the Penguin Books anthology The Day She Saved The Doctor: Four Stories From The TARDIS. During the Twenties, she was paired with Ayoade -- on screen, this time -- in the movie sequel The Souvenir: Part II.
