What choices can I make in terms of haircut, facial hair, glasses, etc. to deemphasize the upper half of my head?

This might help. It mainly mentions women but the advice is the same for men's faces.

You're probably a heart shaped face...

Heart

Face is wide at the temples and hairline, narrowing to a small delicate chin.
Try

Chin-length or longer styles. Side-parted hair styles. Swept-forward layers around the upper face, gently wispy bangs. A chin length bob is great on your face shape! This creates a balanced look by giving fullness where you need it. You can wear shorter styles, however, if you are a dramatic heart shape you need to leave weight in the back nape area. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more narrowing chin.
Avoid

Short, full styles that emphasize upper face. Height at the crown. Severe, slicked back looks. If you are a dramatic heart shape, the short full styles with tapered necklines which emphasize the upper face will make you look top heavy. Too much height at the crown will give the appearance of a longer and narrower chin. Just remember if you have a dramatic heart shape face, you have great cheekbones to emphasize! Don't miss the boat by getting a cut which is to top heavy.

Someone on this site posted this link at some point. Good for haircuts, face shapes, and if you're interested in going from a female to male.
