In 1977, she was the contestant of the Miss Hong Kong Pageant but did not win the title.[1] She made albums for primarily Crown Records (娛樂唱片) and Cinepoly Records. Some of her songs are heard in Cantonese-language series and films. In 1983, Mak recorded "Rhine River Romance" (萊茵河之戀), lyricised by Cheng Kwok-kong (鄭國江) and composed by Joseph Koo. Hong Kong University professor, Stephen Chu (朱耀偉), called the song a fairy tale feeling.[2] In 1989, she sang "Years of Silence" (歲月無聲), written by Gene Lau and composed by Beyond band member Wong Ka Kui,[3] before the rock band Beyond re-recorded it in a rockier style.[4]

She is married to actor Kwong Wa since 19 December 1992, with a son and a daughter.[1]

On 16 October 2019, she held a concert called 《BACK月黑風高旺角夜麥潔文MUSIC 2019》.[5]
