The code:
div {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
.horizontal {
box-shadow: 0px 15px 10px -11px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1) inset,
0px -15px 10px -11px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1) inset;
}
.vertical {
box-shadow: 0px 15px 10px -11px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1) inset,
0px -15px 10px -11px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1) inset;
}
.one-side {
box-shadow: 0px 15px 10px -11px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1) inset;
}
Hope this help.

Answer 2

Try this (based on the link you gave in your comment above):
box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
You can tweak it to how you like it using the CSS3 Generator

CSS Box Shadow
Add the following class to apply shadow. Check this jsfiddle example
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 1px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 1px #000;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px 1px #000;
}
The horizontal offset of the shadow, positive means the shadow will
be on the right of the box, a negative offset will put the shadow on
the left of the box.
The vertical offset of the shadow, a negative one means the
box-shadow will be above the box, a positive one means the shadow
will be below the box.
The blur radius (optional), if set to 0 the shadow will be sharp,
the higher the number, the more blurred it will be.
The spread radius (optional), positive values increase the size of
the shadow, negative values decrease the size. Default is 0 (the
shadow is same size as blur).
Color Hexadecimal color value.
