Try using styles. There are three elements involved.

Inner Shadow usually some percentage of black and blend mode set to multiply. This creates a sense of depth when included with…

Bevel and Emboss use the Outer Bevel Style, experiment with Depth often 100% looks good, generally use the Down direction, size to need. In Shading often Highlight mode color can be set to Overlay and a bit of color is applied to give the bottom bevel a bit of dimension. And finally…

Use a Color Overlay to add color to the ‘bottom’ of your carved out text, shape, or brush layer.

Use emboss and bevel "upside down". On screen and in print, your eye is fooled if you swap the values of the highlight and shadow tones. (That is, rotating the position of the light source 180°.)
