Can I write off the amount I paid for products for giveaways?

I am a social media influencer and host regular giveaways which include makeup products. Am I able to write off these expenses as advertising costs?

If you have income from this line of work and purchase the items you give away as advertising, then yes. If you get them as free samples, then no.
