The way you have it now you are overriding the first .main-header with the second .main-header from the cascade :)

seperate them with a comma

.myclass {
box-shadow: 1px 2px 3px #000 , 2px 3px 10px #eee;
}

Hope this helps!

If this fixed your issue please mark the question as answered....thanks! :D
