After getting the access token, you can get the user profile image through another live api:

private async void GetUserProfileImageAsync(String token)
{
    var photoApi = new Uri(@"https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/picture?access_token=" + token);
    using (var client = new HttpClient())
    {
        var photoResult = await client.GetAsync(photoApi);
        using (var imageStream = await photoResult.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync())
        {
            BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage();
            using (var randomStream = imageStream.AsRandomAccessStream())
            {
                await image.SetSourceAsync(randomStream);
                myProfile.Source = image;
                myProfile.Width = image.PixelWidth;
                myProfile.Height = image.PixelHeight;
            }

        }
    }
}

And XAML: 

 <Image Name="myProfile"/>

Notes: Live API has been replaced by OneDrive API. So it is strongly recommended that you use the OneDrive API instead of Live API during your development.
