What seasonal discount patterns do successful cosmetics brands follow?

As a cosmetics brand owner, I'm struggling to understand the most effective seasonal discount strategies that drive sales without eroding brand value. I've noticed competitors seem to have sophisticated approaches to holiday promotions, but I'm unsure how to create a systematic discount calendar that maximizes revenue while maintaining our premium positioning. I want to learn about timing, discount depths, and strategic approaches that work specifically for beauty and cosmetics brands during key seasonal periods.
