If you are just getting started I would recommend looking at student paints (like liquitex basics), and slowly replacing with higher quality pigments over time if this is something you end up loving. Though totally depends on the art you are making! I prefer artist grade paints because I use a limited pallete and rely on color mixing, but do supplement with lower quality pigments to save money.
I end up lifting those spots to white first and then putting down yellow. I use titanium white in my base layer since it has better opacity. I struggle a lot with matching yellow too!
You could also try and paint a layer of a light brown or ochre or even orange, and then add the yellow layer on top of this. Or you could try and mix a bit of one of those colours with the yellow for better coverage.

Please help me with yellow. It has no opacity and takes so many layers to get the color right.
