An emulsion is a colloid of two or more immiscible liquids where one liquid contains a dispersion of the other liquids. In other words, an emulsion is a special type of mixture made by combining two liquids that normally don't mix. The word emulsion comes from the Latin word meaning "to milk" (milk is one example of an emulsion of fat and water). The process of turning a liquid mixture into an emulsion is called emulsification.

Answer:
Emulsion is defined as the colloidal solution in which both the dispersed phase and dispersion medium are liquids.
There are two types of emulsions:
(a) Oil in water type: Here, water is the dispersion medium while oil is the dispersed phase. For example: milk, vanishing cream, etc.
(b) Water in oil type: Here, oil is the dispersion medium while water is the dispersed phase. For example: cold cream, butter, etc.
