To mix things that wouldn't otherwise mix -- such as an insoluble solid in a liquid, or two liquid that do not mix (like oil and water). The purpose depends on what you want it for! For instance, most people like salad dressing to be of one consistency, so the purpose of the oil-vinegar emulsion is make it nicer to eat!

Well, an insoluble solid in a liquid isNOT an emulsion, but a SUSPENSION.

Emulsions are always mixtures of inmiscible liquids. Example: Mayonnaise.
